Research profile
Cellular redox balance
Human biomarker study
What it is and why it is studied
Glutathione is central to the study of how cells manage oxidative stress. Researchers examine its availability, its oxidised and reduced forms, and the relationship between these measures and cellular redox balance.
What studies have found
A six-month randomised study of oral glutathione in healthy adults reported increases in glutathione stores across several measured compartments, alongside changes in oxidative-stress markers.
The linked trial used oral supplementation and measured biochemical outcomes. It does not establish equivalent findings for a vial formulation or demonstrate general health or cosmetic benefits.

Chemical reference
| Reference sequence | γ-Glu-Cys-Gly (reduced L-glutathione) |
|---|---|
| Molecular formula | C10H17N3O6S |
| Molar mass | Approximately 307.33 g/mol |
| Reference CAS | 70-18-8 |
| PubChem CID | 124886 |
Reference values describe reduced L-glutathione (GSH), not oxidised glutathione (GSSG). The form supplied in this listing still requires supplier confirmation.
Chemical information describes the named reference structure, not a batch analysis or confirmation of the material supplied. Counterions, water and excipients are excluded unless stated.
Understanding these details
A sequence describes the order of residues in a peptide. A molecular formula describes the atoms in the reference structure. Molar mass is expressed in grams per mole; it is not the amount in a vial. CAS numbers and PubChem identifiers help you find the corresponding chemical records.
