Glutathione peptide calculator
A 600 mg Glutathione vial mixed with 4 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 150 mg/ml. A 600 mg dose is 4.00 ml — 400 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — and the vial holds 1 dose of that size.
Glutathione dosage chart: units to draw
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 ml) for Glutathione doses from 300 mg to 600 mg, by how much bacteriostatic water is in a 600 mg vial. The highlighted row is the 600 mg dose used above.
| Dose | 2 ml water 300 mg/ml | 4 ml water 150 mg/ml | 6 ml water 100 mg/ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 300 mg | 100 u 1.00 ml | 2.00 ml over 100 u | 3.00 ml over 100 u | 2 |
| 600 mg | 2.00 ml over 100 u | 4.00 ml over 100 u | 6.00 ml over 100 u | 1 |
At this mix a 600 mg Glutathione dose is 4.00 ml — more than a full U-100 insulin syringe (1 ml, 100 units). Volumes this large are usually drawn with a standard graduated syringe instead, or the dose is split.
Unit math only, not a dosing recommendation. The dose range is what published protocols and trials describe; see the Glutathione guide for sources.
How to reconstitute Glutathione
- Wipe both vial stoppers with a fresh alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 4 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Insert the needle at an angle into the Glutathione vial and let the water run slowly down the inner wall — do not inject directly onto the powder.
- Do not shake. Gently swirl the vial until the peptide fully dissolves.
- Storage for Glutathione: Lyophilized: refrigerated. Reconstituted: refrigerated, use same day (glutathione oxidizes rapidly once dissolved).
- For a 600 mg dose, draw to the 400-unit mark (4.00 ml) on a U-100 insulin syringe.
About Glutathione
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide (glutamate-cysteine-glycine) that serves as the cell's primary endogenous antioxidant. Parenteral glutathione is used in anti-aging, skin, and detoxification research protocols.
Half-life: Approximately 10 minutes (IV); very short in plasma
Typical dose range: 600–2400 mg per IV infusion; lower doses nebulized or subcutaneous
Class: Tripeptide antioxidant
Regulatory status: Not FDA approved for anti-aging or skin-lightening indications. Approved internationally and available via compounding for specific uses.

Need a different unit or a different question? The peptide dose converter moves a dose between mcg, mg and IU, and the half-life visualizer shows how concentration accumulates across a dosing cadence. Loading Glutathione into a reusable 3 ml pen instead of drawing it with a syringe? The peptide pen calculator turns the same vial into mcg per click and clicks to dial. All of them are listed on the free peptide tools page.
Glutathione calculator FAQ
Is this a Glutathione peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?
Both. This Glutathione calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 600 mg Glutathione vial?
This page is pre-filled with 4 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 600 mg Glutathione vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
How many units is a 600 mg Glutathione dose?
400 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, when a 600 mg vial is mixed with 4 ml of bacteriostatic water (150 mg/ml). That is 4.00 ml. With a different amount of water the unit count changes — the dose chart on this page lists 2 ml, 4 ml, 6 ml mixes.
How many doses are in a 600 mg Glutathione vial?
1 doses of 600 mg. The number of doses depends only on vial strength and dose size — adding more or less water changes the volume of each draw, not how many draws the vial holds.
Does this Glutathione dosage calculator give medical advice?
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether Glutathione is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
