Glutathione 1500mg
Glutathione (GSH, γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide antioxidant composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, with a distinctive γ-peptide bond between the glutamic acid side chain and cysteine. Glutathione is the most abundant intracellular thiol-containing peptide in mammalian cells and has been the subject of extensive cellular biology and biochemical research literature for over a century, with research contexts examining cellular redox biology, oxidative stress research, and thiol biochemistry.

Research Background
Glutathione has been investigated in research literature across several scientific contexts:
- Cellular redox biology
- Oxidative stress research — studies examining cellular response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the cellular glutathione system’s role in redox homeostasis
- Thiol biochemistry research — analytical chemistry studies on glutathione’s sulfhydryl group reactivity and protein S-glutathionylation in cellular research
- Cellular detoxification pathway research — studies on glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzymatic systems and Phase II metabolism in cellular research models
- Mitochondrial cellular biology — research literature on mitochondrial glutathione pools and their role in cellular bioenergetics research
- Comparative thiol research — analytical studies positioning glutathione alongside other cellular thiol compounds in cellular research contexts
Glutathione is one of the most extensively characterized small molecules in cellular biology research, with foundational research spanning over a century of peer-reviewed publications across biochemistry, cellular biology, and analytical chemistry. The compound represents a foundational reference material in cellular redox research. Foundational research is available through PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and the National Institutes of Health’s PMC database (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), where researchers can access peer-reviewed studies on glutathione cellular biology and thiol biochemistry research.
