Quality Control

Our Glutathione is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiles. Quality is assured in compliance with relevant GMP guidelines and can be tailored to meet USP, EP, or FCC monograph requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation and clumping. For long-term stability, consider storage under inert atmosphere.
