Description
What Is Glutathione 1500mg? (In Plain English)
Glutathione is a very small molecule made of just three amino acids linked in a row, and cells make it themselves all the time. Scientists often call it a "cleanup" molecule, because in the test tube it soaks up reactive oxygen the way a sponge soaks up a spill. This vial holds 1500mg of it in dry powder form for laboratory work.
Glutathione 1500mg — Research Overview
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide of L-glutamate, L-cysteine and glycine, notable for an unusual gamma-peptide bond between the glutamate side chain and cysteine. The cysteine thiol is the reactive centre, and the literature associates GSH with cellular redox buffering, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase enzyme systems, and phase II conjugation chemistry in hepatocyte models. Its oxidised dimer, GSSG, and the GSH:GSSG ratio are standard readouts in oxidative-stress research.
Primary Research Areas
- Redox biology — GSH:GSSG ratio is used as an index of intracellular oxidative state in cultured cells.
- Xenobiotic conjugation — glutathione S-transferase assays investigate GSH adduct formation in vitro.
- Mitochondrial studies — the mitochondrial glutathione pool is examined in models of respiratory-chain stress.
- Melanogenesis research — in vitro work has examined GSH interactions with tyrosinase activity in melanocyte culture.
- Analytical chemistry — GSH is widely used as a reference standard in thiol quantification methods.

Related Research Peptides
Glutathione is frequently studied alongside other compounds in mitochondrial and metabolic research, including NAD+ 1000mg, SS-31 10mg and MOTS-c 10mg. Laboratories working on lipid-metabolism panels often also stock L-Carnitine 1200mg.
Why Researchers Source Glutathione 1500mg from Dissolv Labs
Dissolv Labs is a research-supply company based in Southern California. Orders are picked, packed, and shipped domestically from our SoCal facility, so most U.S. laboratories see short transit times and no international customs delay.
Every vial ships as a complete kit. Each Glutathione 1500mg vial is paired with its own bacteriostatic water reconstitution vial, so the material arrives ready to prepare in the lab without a separate diluent order. Compounds are supplied lyophilized in sealed, labeled vials with lot identification, and analytical documentation is available on request.
Glutathione 1500mg — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Glutathione 1500mg used for?
Glutathione 1500mg is supplied strictly as a research chemical for in vitro and laboratory research applications. The literature studies glutathione as a redox buffer, an enzyme cofactor and a conjugation substrate in cell-culture systems. It is not for human or veterinary use.
What is the difference between reduced glutathione and GSSG?
Reduced glutathione (GSH) carries a free cysteine thiol; GSSG is the oxidised dimer formed when two GSH molecules join through a disulfide bond. This material is supplied as the reduced form, which is why it is handled under cold, light-protected conditions.
How is Glutathione 1500mg stored?
The lyophilized powder is kept cold and shielded from light, since the free thiol is oxidation-sensitive. Once prepared with the included bacteriostatic water vial, the solution is refrigerated and handled per standard laboratory practice.
Where can I buy Glutathione research peptide?
Dissolv Labs stocks Glutathione 1500mg and ships domestically from Southern California. Every order is a complete kit with a matched reconstitution vial, sealed and lot-labeled, and analytical documentation is available on request.
Research Use Only
Glutathione 1500mg is sold exclusively as a Research Use Only (RUO) chemical. It is not a drug, supplement, cosmetic, or food, and it is not intended for human or veterinary use, ingestion, injection, topical application, or any form of consumption. It is intended solely for licensed laboratory research by qualified professionals. Dissolv Labs makes no medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic claims of any kind. By purchasing, the buyer confirms they are a qualified researcher and accepts full responsibility for lawful handling, use, and disposal.
Bacteriostatic (BAC) water is included free with every order.

Exact quantity and concentration are listed in the product title and variant options above. The figures above are release specifications — the measured result for your particular lot is stated on its Certificate of Analysis.
Documentation & Testing
Every batch is tested before release. Testing covers four checks: identity by mass spectrometry, purity by HPLC against a ≥99% release threshold, content verification against the labelled mass, and batch release tied to a specific lot number.
To request the Certificate of Analysis for your vial, email us with your order number or the lot number printed on the label. We do not gate documentation behind a form or a purchase.

Handling & Storage
Lyophilized peptides are relatively stable during transit. Arriving at room temperature is not cause for concern — the cold pack is a margin of safety rather than a pass/fail condition.
Sealed vials of lyophilized material are typically stored refrigerated or frozen and protected from light. Handling protocols for a specific compound are determined by the researcher and their institution; we supply the material and its documentation.
Shipping & Returns
Orders placed before the daily cut-off are dispatched the same business day from Southern California in insulated packaging with ice packs. Tracking is issued at dispatch.
If a shipment arrives damaged, if vial contents appear inconsistent with the specification, or if the lot number on your vial does not match the certificate we provide, contact us and we will resolve it.
Because these are temperature-sensitive laboratory materials, opened vials cannot be returned to stock.
