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.

Zinc tolerance through glutathione import strikes a fine balance between protection and damage in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>
Recently, our group showed that the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans is inherently more tolerant to high zinc stress than other streptococci, a phenotype associated with the presence of a P-type ATPase exporter named ZccE, virtually unique to S. mutans .
