Description

L-Glutathione Oxidized, or GSSG, is the disulfide form of the naturally occurring tripeptide glutathione. This high-purity product is essential in maintaining the oxidative balance within cells. It is predominantly used in scientific research and pharmaceutical formulations, where its ability to revert to its reduced form, L-Glutathione, is crucial for protecting cells against oxidative stress.

Specification:
Appearance: White crystalline powder
