Glutathione is supplied as a catalogued research material in 1500mg.
The public name is provisionally mapped to reduced glutathione (GSH), but it does not by itself distinguish reduced GSH from oxidized glutathione (GSSG) or identify a sodium or other salt. Exact form and redox composition require a matching CoA [1,2].

Registry values apply only to the specific molecular entity, sequence, termini and material form. Batch records take precedence over family-level literature identifiers.
Major endogenous antioxidant found in cells, existing in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms. The name typically refers to the reduced form.
Research background and published evidence
Published research
GSH and GSSG are used as distinct analytes in redox-biochemistry, thiol-chemistry and analytical-method research. Their ratio is a measured property of a defined sample, not an attribute established by the catalogue name [1,2].
Current scientific understanding
Endogenous biochemical roles do not establish clinical safety, efficacy, dosage, administration, antioxidant benefit, detoxification, or suitability of this catalogue vial. The nominal amount does not verify reduced-GSH content or purity.
No medicine, supplement, cosmetic or human-use status is inferred. The batch should separately report identity, total assay, GSH:GSSG ratio, salt form, degradants and relevant microbiological attributes.
Technical comparison
| Aspect | This catalogue material | Comparator |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Catalogue glutathione, provisionally reduced GSH pending batch confirmation | Oxidized glutathione, GSSG |
| Structural distinction | Reduced monomeric thiol form when confirmed | Disulfide-linked oxidized dimer with a different formula and mass |
| Analytical implication | Requires identity, quantitative GSH assay, GSH:GSSG ratio, salt and degradant controls | A separate chromatographic and mass assignment is required for GSSG |
Quality and testing
Quality information is batch- and presentation-specific. Use only the report linked to the exact size and lot. A report listed for another size, lot or similarly named material must not be treated as evidence for this product.
Chromatographic area purity, identity, net peptide or analyte content, water or counter-ion content, sterility, endotoxin and elemental impurities are different measurements. One result does not establish the others. Only tests supported by a visible, matching report should be regarded as available.
Laboratory handling and storage
Store and handle only under the conditions stated on the product label, batch CoA and SDS. Keep the container secured, correctly identified and protected from contamination. Do not infer storage, solvent compatibility or stability from a related compound.
Laboratory preparation, analytical-method selection, risk assessment, personal protective equipment and waste disposal should follow the applicable SDS and the institution's approved procedures.
Regulatory and legal status
| Research-use notice | This material is supplied exclusively for laboratory research by qualified professionals and is not intended for human or veterinary use. Purchasers are responsible for compliance with applicable local requirements. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the CAS number and PubChem CID apply to every batch form?
Only when the exact sequence or structure, termini, conjugation, salt or counter-ion and hydration state match. The batch CoA and SDS govern; a related-compound identifier must not be substituted.
What does an analytical purity result mean?
It is method- and report-specific. For example, an HPLC area percentage is not automatically the same as identity, net content, sterility, endotoxin status or absence of elemental impurities.
How should the material be stored and handled?
Follow the exact label, batch CoA and SDS together with the institution's risk assessment. Use only storage and stability information linked to the exact material form and batch.
