Glutathione — the master antioxidant.

Glutathione is a tripeptide (cysteine + glycine + glutamate) present in every cell. It's the most abundant intracellular antioxidant and a critical cofactor for Phase II liver detoxification. Levels decline with age, stress, and toxic exposure.

Available as injectable, oral capsule (liposomal or S-acetyl forms have better absorption than standard oral), nasal spray, or IV infusion. Bioavailability varies dramatically by format.

Glutathione neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and regenerates other antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E). It's essential for Phase II detoxification pathways in the liver (glutathione conjugation), and for proper mitochondrial function.

Glutathione makes clinical sense for:

• Patients with elevated oxidative stress markers
• Patients with documented MTHFR or other methylation issues
• Recovery from intense training or environmental exposure
• Supportive use during heavy-metal detox protocols

Injectable: 200–1000mg, 1–3 times per week depending on indication. Oral liposomal: 500–1000mg daily. Nasal spray: 1–2 sprays daily. IV infusion: 1,000–2,000mg per session.

Patients with high oxidative load (post-illness, post-training overload, environmental exposure) typically report energy and recovery improvements within 2–4 weeks. Skin clarity changes often noticed in similar timeframe (a side effect, not the primary indication).

Vektor prescribes glutathione in injectable form (200mg/mL in 10mL vial — 2000mg total) and oral capsules through our 503A partner. Format choice depends on absorption needs and lifestyle compatibility.
