Description
SereneQ Glutathione
Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, GSH) is a tripeptide that is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant in mammalian cells, present in millimolar concentrations in most tissues. It is synthesised in two enzyme-catalysed steps from glutamate, cysteine and glycine, with cysteine availability being the rate-limiting factor. Glutathione levels decline with age, chronic disease, high oxidative load and nutritional deficiency. The tripeptide is not simply an antioxidant — it is the central node of a redox signalling network and a cofactor for multiple enzyme families.
What the research covers
Glutathione’s functions span several systems. In phase II detoxification, glutathione S-transferases conjugate GSH to electrophilic compounds and reactive metabolites, making them water-soluble for excretion — this is critical for processing drugs, pollutants and carcinogens in the liver. In antioxidant defence, it directly neutralises reactive oxygen species and regenerates vitamins C and E. In immune function, it is required for lymphocyte proliferation and natural killer cell activity, and glutathione-depleted immune cells are impaired. In mitochondria it maintains the membrane environment required for efficient electron transport. Intravenous administration bypasses the gut barrier, where oral glutathione is largely broken down before absorption.
Where the evidence sits
The evidence base is large but heterogeneous. Most mechanistic work is in vitro. Clinical studies exist in specific contexts (liver disease, cancer, Parkinson’s, HIV). Not licensed as a medicine. Supplied strictly as a laboratory research chemical.
The pen format
This is where SereneQ does things differently. Instead of lyophilised vials that need reconstituting and drawing up separately, the compound arrives pre-loaded in solution in a graduated injection pen with a dial and a dose window.
- Reduced glutathione (L-GSH) in pre-loaded solution
- Graduated dial with dose window
- 300 units total per pen
- 4 × sealed pen tips, 32G 0.23 × 4mm
- Store refrigerated at 2–8°C. Protect from light.
- Batch number, expiry and serial printed directly on the pen barrel
Handling and storage
- Store refrigerated at 2–8°C. Do not freeze.
- Keep in the outer carton, away from direct light.
- Short periods at room temperature during transit are expected and normal.
- Use a fresh sealed tip for each dispense. Dispose of tips in a sharps container.
- Expiry 12/2027 on sealed, correctly stored stock.
- Keep out of reach of children and animals.
