Glutathione (600mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

Glutathione (600mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

Quickstart Highlights

Glutathione 600mg dosage protocol supports systemic antioxidant defenses, healthy skin, and recovery from oxidative stress through precise Sub-Q or IM injections.

  • Typical dose range: 100 mg – 200 mg per injection
  • Common frequency: 2–3 injections per week
  • Standard reconstitution: 3 mL (200 mg/mL) for easy 25-50 unit draws
  • High-dose clinical protocols up to 600 mg (split injections) exist
  • Store lyophilized vials frozen; refrigerate after reconstitution

Dosing & Reconstitution Guide

Educational guide for reconstitution and dosing protocol

Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = 200 mg/mL)

Phase Weekly Dose (mg) Approx. Units (per injection)
Weeks 1–4 200 mg (100 mg × 2) 50 u (0.5 mL)
Weeks 5–8 400 mg (200 mg × 2) 100 u (1.0 mL)
Weeks 9–12 (Optional) 400 mg – 600 mg 100 u – 150 u

Ideal for sustained antioxidant support. Inject 2 times per week (e.g., Mon & Thu). Reconstitute each 600 mg vial with 3 mL bacteriostatic water to create a 200 mg/mL solution—yielding 25–150 insulin-units per shot depending on dose.

  1. Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
  2. Inject slowly along the vial wall; swirl gently until fully dissolved.
  3. Label vial with date & concentration (200 mg/mL).
  4. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C.

Advanced / Aggressive Approach (2 mL = 300 mg/mL)

Phase Weekly Dose (mg) Approx. Units (per injection)
Weeks 1–4 600 mg (200 mg × 3) 67 u (0.67 mL)
Weeks 5–8 600 mg (300 mg × 2) 100 u (1.0 mL)

Reserved for clinically supervised applications (e.g., chemotherapy support, male infertility). Reconstitute with 2 mL to reduce volume. If a single draw exceeds 60 units, split into separate injections and rotate sites.

  1. Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water.
  2. Slowly add to vial; swirl gently—avoid foaming.
  3. Document 300 mg/mL on the label; refrigerate.

Protocol Overview

Concise summary of the standard twice-weekly antioxidant regimen.

  • Goal: Boost systemic antioxidant capacity & support recovery
  • Schedule: Sub-Q or IM injections 2× weekly
  • Dose Range: 100 mg – 200 mg per injection (200 – 400 mg weekly)
  • Reconstitution: 3 mL (200 mg/mL) for convenient 25–100 unit draws
  • Storage: Freeze lyophilized; refrigerate reconstituted vial

Dosing Protocol

Suggested moderate plan for wellness & skin support.

  • Per-Injection Dose: Start 100 mg (50 u); titrate to 200 mg as needed
  • Frequency: Every 3–4 days (e.g., Mon/Thu)
  • Cycle Length: 8–12 weeks, followed by 2–4 weeks break
  • Maximum Weekly: 600 mg (split injections)
  • Timing: Any time of day; inject slowly for comfort

Storage Instructions

Proper storage ensures peptide integrity.

  • Lyophilized: Store at −20 °C (freezer) until use
  • Reconstituted: 2–8 °C (refrigerator) up to 30 days
  • Protect from light; avoid repeated freeze-thaw
  • Discard solution if cloudy, discolored, or past expiry

Supplies Needed

Approximate quantities for antioxidant protocol.

  • Peptide Vials:
    • 8 wks ≈ 3 vials
    • 12 wks ≈ 5 vials
    • 16 wks ≈ 7 vials
  • Insulin Syringes: Match number of injections (e.g., 2× weekly × 12 wks = 24 syringes)
  • Bacteriostatic Water: 1 × 30 mL bottle
  • Alcohol Swabs: 1 box

Important Notes

Practical tips to enhance safety and accuracy.

  • Rotate injection sites; allow solution to reach room temperature to reduce sting.
  • If <10 units per dose is unavoidable, consider 50- or 30-unit syringes for precision.
  • Split injections if draw volume exceeds 0.6 mL (≈60 units).
  • Monitor zinc status during prolonged high-dose use.
  • For research use only—not approved for human therapy without a licensed professional.

How This Works

Glutathione is a tripeptide (γ-l-glutamyl-l-cysteinyl-glycine) that serves as the body’s master antioxidant.

  • Redox Balance: Neutralizes reactive oxygen species and recycles other antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin E).
  • Detoxification: Conjugates xenobiotics in the liver via glutathione-S-transferase pathways.
  • Cellular Repair: Supports DNA synthesis and immune function, aiding recovery from oxidative damage.

Potential Benefits & Side Effects

Users often report improved skin tone, energy, and faster recovery—while adverse reactions are typically mild.

  • Supports healthy immune response & detox pathways
  • May improve skin brightness & collagen quality
  • Possible mild side effects: injection-site redness, transient sulfur taste, nausea
  • Rare: dizziness, allergic rash—monitor and consult a professional if concerns arise

Lifestyle Factors

Complementary strategies enhance results.

  • Consume micronutrient-rich foods (selenium, vitamins C & B6 support endogenous GSH).
  • Maintain regular exercise and adequate recovery to modulate oxidative stress.
  • Prioritize sleep and stress management to preserve natural antioxidant reserves.

Injection Technique

Simple guidelines for safe daily injections.

  • Clean vial rubber stopper & injection site with alcohol swabs
  • Insert needle at a 45–90° angle into subcutaneous tissue
  • Inject slowly & rotate sites (abdomen, thigh, etc.)
