Glutathione storage confusion

[StonePny]

Having used it from single bottle vendors for family member with Lyme, I've now ordered and received a nice stockpile from India.

SOME sources (including some AI which could be parroting general pep info) say to freeze the lyophilized powder HOWEVER---
the individual boxes from India (made for pharma use) say "Do not freeze. Store in a cool dry and dark place"

My understanding is that glutathione is more delicate than some other peptides, and I'd like to know that I'm storing it correctly. Anyone have more definitive info or feedback?

It's a comfortability thing. There are many things that can influence degradation of a peptide in powdered form. Ideally, just pick an area that is cool or cold, and away from the direct sun light. If the box says not to freeze, then store it in a cool place away from the light. Gluta is very sensitive.

Most people do not freeze it. Store in cool dark place and refrigerate once reconstituted.

The Glutathione from India usually comes with ampules of Ascorbic Acid. You definitely don’t want to freeze that. You would have Vitamin C pops with shards of glass in them. I use Glutathione daily and don’t freeze any of it.

The 1200 mg ones I ordered didn't come with vit c. How do your store yours? (I was hoping you'd see this post!)

I also get Glutimax-1200 from India. I store it in my basement, which is always cool and dark—there's no need to freeze it. I do IV push, so after reconstitution, I use the entire vial at once. However, if you're microdosing, be sure to store it in the refrigerator after reconstitution.

I keep them at room temperature in a dark place.

I leave them in the box at room temp.

You just go straight into the vein? Is it with ascorbic acid? I’ve considered this but thought it would be better with IV fluids. Please, tell us more.

They don’t come with vit c anymore. Received mine a couple of weeks ago and there was no vit c.

Mine all comes with it still. You folks are probably just asking the vendor for the cheapest version so you don’t get it. It absolutely still comes with ascorbic acid if you are getting it from India or a pharmaceutical company because without it you are wasting your Glutathione.

You do need vitamin c and e for the glutathione to be optimal, but you can take higher amounts orally, too. I did some deep diving on it. It's not conclusive but it's more important when you have oxidative stress from heavy exercise.
