S-Acetylglutathione

The most effective orally available form of glutathione, an alternative to glutathione injections. 

S-Acetylglutathione  is finding a growing use as dietary supplement on many markets. It's a precursor of glutathione stable in the digestive tract that after absorption in the bloodstream is transformed in glutathione.

It is  the most notable known form of "orally available glutathione". 

Glutathione itself is not absorbed if ingested (Eur J Clin Pharmacol. 1992;43(6):667-9.), so there are no benefits in glutathione used directly as you can find in many  dietary supplements on the Market.

The syntheses of S-acetylglutathione of public domain are unusable to obtain a product suitable for human use, because of the materials involved (pyridine, trifluoroacetic acid).

Our production process uses only Class 3 solvents as defined by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) (guidance for industry Q3C Impurities: Residual Solvents (1997) ), which makes recommendations as to what amounts of residual solvents are considered safe in pharmaceuticals.

S-Acetylglutathione is classified by the EC as "non dangerous" and we have available an acute oral toxicity study performed with our product according to OPPTS 870.1100

What do you risk choosing the cheapest product on the market? High arsenic content, high heavy metals content, high content of toxic solvents and impurities.

CAVEAT: S-Acetylglutathione is not a drug and is not listed in the European Pharmacopeia or in the US Pharmacopeia
