Glutathione
Also known as: GSH
Glutathione is an endogenous tripeptide (gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) that serves as the principal intracellular antioxidant in mammalian cells. It is not FDA-approved as a drug in the US; parenteral glutathione is used off-label (and in some compounding settings) for oxidative stress, hepatic support, and — controversially — skin lightening. The FDA has warned against injectable glutathione for skin lightening (2019) due to reports of serious adverse events.

Prices observed from public storefronts (last 24h), normalized to $/mg. "Evidence" is Merit's 0–100 Merit Score, derived only from observable verification evidence (methodology on /about); "Purity" is the latest independent COA. Some buy links are affiliate links — Merit may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and where a vendor offers one, the code shown gets you a discount at their checkout. Affiliate status never affects price data, ranking, or the Merit Score (full policy on /disclosure). Research use only.

AA-Induced Lipid Peroxidation at the Center of Tumor Cell Apoptosis and Ferroptosis
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can block HMG-CoA reductase activity and thus decrease cholesterol synthesis/formation.

Rethinking hyperhomocysteinemia: from causal risk factor to biomarker of glutathione deficiency in chronic diseases
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a common metabolic disorder characterized by systemic elevation of the thiol amino acid homocysteine.

Concurrent erythrocyte glutathione depletion and oxidative shift of the serum thiol-disulfide pool in acute pancreatitis: a case-control study
Oxidative stress is central to acute pancreatitis. Thiol groups drive antioxidant defense in both the extracellular serum thiol-disulfide system and the intracellular glutathione system, yet they have rarely been assessed together in this disease.

Evidence on Glutathione and Boosters for Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) adversely affects treatment efficacy and quality of life. Despite studies on glutathione (GSH) or GSH boosters' antioxidative effects for prevention, optimal management remains uncertain.

Structural and functional analysis of the bifunctional thioredoxin glutathione reductase -TGR- from the white shrimp Penaeus vannamei, and redox responses under hypoxia
Glutathione (GSH) plays a key role in cellular homeostasis. There are two major enzymatic pathways in invertebrates to reduce oxidized glutathione (GSSG): 1) glutathione reductase (GR) and 2) thioredoxin glutathione reductase (TGR).
