Glutathione
An antioxidant tripeptide the body produces naturally, studied for its role in oxidative-stress balance, available after a licensed-provider evaluation.
Treatment length is confirmed at checkout after your provider approves treatment.
Beginning treatment does not create a prescription. A US-licensed provider reviews your intake first, and an order is only filled if they determine treatment is appropriate for you.

What it is
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide made from glutamate, cysteine, and glycine that the body synthesizes endogenously and uses as one of its primary intracellular antioxidants. Levels of GSH tend to decline with age, which has driven research interest in whether supplementation or administration can support the body’s own oxidative-stress defenses (Glutathione in Our Diet and Its Role in the Body, Nutrients, DOI 10.3390/nu18101640). There is no FDA-approved injectable glutathione brand for general wellness use; glutathione is used in specific investigational and clinical settings for defined conditions, and the injectable form offered through this pathway is a compounded preparation, not an FDA-approved drug product.
Glutathione is available after a licensed-provider evaluation, and Van Peptides does not manufacture or dispense it. If a prescription is issued, it is compounded through a US-licensed compounding pharmacy rather than produced in-house.
Van Peptides connects patients with an independent network of US-licensed providers who assess whether glutathione fits your history and goals. We do not diagnose, prescribe, or dispense, and we do not employ the providers or the pharmacy.
What the literature has explored
Endogenous glutathione plays a documented role in cellular defense against oxidative stress, and a growing review literature has examined the relationship between GSH status, aging, and disease susceptibility, distinguishing dietary intake, endogenous synthesis, and supplementation as separate mechanisms worth studying independently (Glutathione in Our Diet and Its Role in the Body, DOI 10.3390/nu18101640). Clinical trial data on supplementation specifically has been mixed: one randomized trial of oral glutathione supplementation over four weeks found no significant change in systemic oxidative-stress biomarkers compared to placebo, despite an increase in glutathione status itself (Effects of oral glutathione supplementation on systemic oxidative stress biomarkers in human volunteers, PMID 21875351).
That trial studied oral dosing rather than the injectable route offered here, and route of administration is a meaningful variable the existing literature has not fully resolved for wellness-focused use. Outcomes are individual, and the gap between glutathione’s known biological role and any specific outcome from supplementation or injection is exactly the kind of question a licensed provider is positioned to discuss with you, not something this page can settle in advance.
We cite this literature because the underlying biology is well established, but we do not present glutathione as a fix for the aging process or a guarantee of any measurable change in a biomarker. The honest summary is that GSH is biologically important and its supplementation is an active area of study, with individual response varying.
How the telehealth path works
- Complete a short online intake.
- A US-licensed provider reviews your history and speaks with you if appropriate.
- If clinically appropriate, a prescription is issued and routed to a US-licensed compounding pharmacy.
- The medication ships discreetly in the US, with dispensing instructions from the pharmacy.
Van Peptides is a technology platform. It does not diagnose, prescribe, compound, or dispense. Each step above is carried out by an independent US-licensed provider or a US-licensed compounding pharmacy.
Common questions
What is Glutathione?
It is a tripeptide antioxidant the body produces naturally, studied for its role in oxidative-stress balance and its decline with age.
Who is a candidate?
A US-licensed provider determines candidacy based on your intake, history, and goals; it is available after a licensed-provider evaluation.
Is it FDA approved?
No. There is no FDA-approved injectable glutathione brand for general wellness use. Compounded glutathione, as dispensed through this pathway, is not FDA approved.
How is it dispensed?
If prescribed, compounded glutathione is dispensed through a US-licensed compounding pharmacy and shipped to you.
What does it cost?
Placeholder plan pricing is $99 monthly, $269 for a three-month plan, and $499 for a six-month plan. Final pricing will be confirmed before this page goes live.

What if it isn’t right for me?
If a provider determines glutathione is not appropriate for you, they will explain their reasoning and discuss alternatives as part of your evaluation.
