Glutathione
Also called GSH
per administration
It has been used in people, but no trial has settled how much or how often.
The human evidence for Glutathione used the intravenous route. The draw worked out here assumes a subcutaneous injection, so the amount is not a direct read-across.
Quick start
Glutathione at a glance — the figures, plus how it's commonly run. Reference only, not medical advice.
- Typical dose
- 600–2000 mg per administration
- How often
- 2x per week
- Where
- Intravenous (clinical setting)
- Time to steady level
- ~1 hours — about five half-lives
- Storage
- Dry vial kept cold and dark; a mixed vial in the fridge at 2–8 °C. Details
A research and community reference, not medical advice. Figures are descriptive, vary between sources, and are not a recommendation for use.

Published research contexts for Glutathione describe 600–2000 mg per administration. Descriptive only, not a recommendation.
Cleared within minutes after an intravenous dose, so the decay chart is mostly illustrative here.
A tripeptide (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) given intravenously in small human studies, but no trial fixes a dose-ranging schedule; the circulating amounts are not trial-established, so no schedule table is shown.
Modelled level — 2x per week
1× is the peak after a single dose.
- Steady-state peak
- 0.97× single dose
- Time to steady state
- 1hours
- Administrations
- 2/ week
