Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
Educational guide for reconstitution and daily dosing
Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~200 mg/mL)
| Week / phase | Daily dose | Units per injection (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 100 mg (100000 mcg) | 50 units (0.50 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 150 mg (150000 mcg) | 75 units (0.75 mL) |
| Weeks 5–8 | 200 mg (200000 mcg) | 100 units (1.00 mL) |
Frequency: Once daily, subcutaneously, at a consistent time.
Reconstitution Steps
- Draw 3 mL of bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.1
- Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid shaking to prevent foaming.2
- Gently swirl or roll until fully dissolved (clear solution).3
- Label with the reconstitution date and refrigerate at 2–8 °C, protected from light; use within 4 weeks.4

This section describes which dose a study or reference source used and what it measured. It is not a recommendation or an administration schedule. A trial dose belongs to its population, duration and supervision and does not transfer to anyone outside that context.
Supplies Needed
Straightforward 12- and 24-week planning for a 600 mg vial at 200 mg/mL.
Glutathione vials (600 mg each)
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 12 weeks: Minimum 25 vials (14700 mg required).
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 24 weeks: Minimum 53 vials (31500 mg required).
U-100 syringes (1 mL)
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 12 weeks: 84 new syringes for 84 injections.
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 24 weeks: 168 new syringes for 168 injections.
Bacteriostatic water
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 12 weeks: 75 mL total (3 mL per vial) → 25 × 3 mL vials.
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 24 weeks: 159 mL total (3 mL per vial) → 53 × 3 mL vials.
Alcohol swabs
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 12 weeks: 168 minimum; one box of 100 does not cover the calculation.
- Standard / Gradual Approach, 24 weeks: 336 minimum; one box of 100 does not cover the calculation.
Sharps container: one appropriately sized. Stability planning: totals are minimum arithmetic quantities; follow the product documentation for sterility, storage, handling loss and discard timing.

Glutathione Vial and Research Context
- Reconstitute: add 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to produce 200 mg/mL.
- Frequency in the source: once daily, subcutaneously.
- Described range: schedules run from 100 mg (100000 mcg) to 200 mg (200000 mcg) per injection.
- Easy measuring: 1 U-100 unit = 0.01 mL = 2000 mcg.
- Vial size: the 600 mg label is total nominal content, not a per-injection amount.
- Vial coverage: at 100 mg (100000 mcg) per injection one vial supplies 6 injections; at 200 mg (200000 mcg) it supplies 3. These are mass calculations, not storage periods.
Protocol Overview
Quick reference for the schedules shared by the cited literature.
- Frequency: once daily.
- Concentration: 600 mg in 3 mL = 200 mg/mL.
- Unit conversion: 1 U-100 unit = 2000 mcg.
Dosing Schedule
The tables keep each approach separate.
- Standard / Gradual Approach: 100 mg (100000 mcg), 150 mg (150000 mcg), 200 mg (200000 mcg), in phases (once daily).
- Measurement: use the units and mL shown beside each amount.
Storage Instructions
- Lyophilized (unopened): −20 °C for long-term storage; 2–8 °C if used within weeks. Protected from light.
- Reconstituted: 2–8 °C, do not freeze. Use within the documented period (typically up to 4 weeks with bacteriostatic water).
- Handling: do not shake; avoid temperature cycling; label with date and concentration.
- Discard: cloudy solutions, particulates or expired preparations are discarded.

Important Notes
- Research only: the referenced compounds are sold for laboratory research. Nothing here is medical advice or an administration schedule.
- Above 100 units: a 1 mL U-100 syringe cannot hold them; split across syringes or reconstitute with less volume.
- Accuracy: concentration depends on the actual volume added; measure the diluent with a syringe, not by eye.
- Verification: confirm vial contents against the batch certificate of analysis before calculating.
Injection Technique in Research
- Route in the studies: subcutaneous, in abdominal or thigh adipose tissue, rotating the site.
- Syringe: 1 mL U-100 (100 units); read in units, not mL.
- Asepsis: alcohol swab on the stopper and the site; a new syringe per injection.
- Drawing: purge air, draw the units from the chart and verify before withdrawing the needle from the vial.
