Dosing
A common research range for Glutathione is 100 mcg to 600 mcg twice weekly. Typically 200-600 mg IV push; SC and oral routes have lower bioavailability. These figures are reference points from published literature, not a prescription — your protocol should be set with a licensed provider.
Reconstitution
A typical reconstitution for Glutathione is 200 mg of peptide in 5 mL of bacteriostatic water, giving roughly 40 mcg per mL. Vial's built-in calculator works out the exact syringe draw for any vial size and dose.
Half-life
Glutathione has an approximate half-life of 12 minutes. Vial plots the real concentration curve from your logged doses so you can see peak windows and when levels taper.
Storage
2-8°C; protect from light; oxidizes rapidly once exposed to air.
Reported side effects
- Sulfur-like body odor
- Skin lightening (over time)
- Headache (rare)
Contraindications
- Sulfa allergy (caution)
