Description

Glutathione, Sodium Salt is the sodium salt form of the essential tripeptide antioxidant glutathione, widely recognized for its superior solubility and stability in aqueous formulations. This compound is critical for applications requiring a highly bioavailable and potent source of reduced glutathione to combat oxidative stress and support cellular detoxification pathways. It is a fundamental ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced cosmetic industries seeking to enhance product efficacy with a reliable, high-purity active.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient: Used in injectable and oral formulations for liver protection, detoxification support, and as an adjunct therapy in conditions involving oxidative damage.
• Dietary Supplement & Nutraceuticals: A key component in capsules, tablets, and powdered blends aimed at supporting immune function, promoting skin health from within, and providing antioxidant support.
• Cosmeceutical & Skincare: Incorporated into serums, creams, and lotions for its brightening, anti-aging, and protective properties against environmental stressors.
• Cell Culture & Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical component in media and buffers to maintain redox balance in cell cultures and in-vitro experiments.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed as a functional ingredient in health-focused foods and beverages for its nutritional antioxidant value.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Used in formulations for companion and livestock animals for similar hepatoprotective and detoxification benefits.
