Overview
Reduced L-glutathione (GSH) is the tripeptide γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, the most abundant intracellular thiol antioxidant. It maintains the cellular redox state via the GSH/GSSG cycle, conjugates electrophiles in phase-II detoxification through glutathione-S-transferase, and reduces peroxides through glutathione peroxidase.
Lumera supplies reduced glutathione as a lyophilized 1500 mg vial for in-vitro reconstitution. Store at −20 °C, desiccated; reconstitute to working concentration in sterile water immediately before use.

Reconstitution
Allow vial to reach room temperature before opening (≥ 20 minutes). Reconstitute with 1.0–2.5 mL of sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Inject solvent slowly down the inner wall of the vial; do not direct stream onto the lyophilized cake.
Swirl gently for 30 seconds. Do not vortex. Allow to dissolve for 5 minutes; clarity should be complete with no visible particulates.
Storage after reconstitution
Reconstituted solution is stable for 28 days at 2–8 °C in original vial. For longer storage, aliquot into low-binding tubes and hold at −80 °C; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Discard if turbidity, color change, or particulate matter is observed.
