Injectable Glutathione Recipe

sorry to hijack. I made 20ml of L-Carnitine 500mg/ml a few months ago with no problems. crystal clear and zero pip. i used distilled water and ba. ph strip showed it was at 7. I ran out and decided to make 60ml's. this one is also crystal clear. but, ph is showing its 9 somehow. it has a bite to it. how do you go about lowering the ph? sodium bicarbonate usp? if so, how do you know how much to add?
 
Just reading through this thread. This bubbles are just carbon dioxide is being released when neutralising acids with a bicarbonate salt. It’s safe and normal. Sodium hydroxide is more dangerous to work with so you can just use more bicarbonate to increase the pH.
Anyone tried this? Would like to not need another specialised ingredient lol

For L-Carnitine you need acetic acid to lower the pH. I use white vinegar. I add small amounts and test with pH strips until I get to 7. I just made 120mls a few days ago ago. No pip.

What concentration do you make it at? I make 600mg/mL but never has any PIP
 
They are not bases. You need a base like sodium hydroxide or sobium bicarbonate. If you use sodium hydroxide and the ph stays under 7, you will be safe since all if it is reacted.
This thread has been an awesome guide. I just made my first batch. I’ll leave it in the fridge for a few days and then give it a try.

This is probably a stupid question but how hard of a line do you draw at 7 ph? I put a little too much NaOH when I was at 6 and ended up at 7.23. Normally I would say this is within a margin of error but I really don’t like the idea of injecting lye. Probe was calibrated at 7 before I started.
 
I also worked out the displacement for glutathione. This should work for anything really. Not a chemist so please correct me if I am wrong.

I found the density for GLH but the important part is the units. It needs to be in g/cm^3. Now cm^3 is a ml. So the units could be written as g/ml. For displacement you want ml per gram or ml/g. This is because in the final step we are multiplying the weight of GLH in grams by the displacement to get the volume in ml that it displaces. So to get ml/g you divide 1 by the density. That gives the displacement in ml/g.

GLH density= 1.475 g/cm^3= 1.475 g/ml
Displacement= 1/1.475=0.678 ml/g
I used 6 g of GLH
Displacement volume= 6*0.678=4.068 ml

I confirmed the measurement by just adding the full 30 ml of bac and then measuring everything in a 50 ml syringe at the end. It seemed to work out. I have also back tested it against known testosterone valves.

I don’t know if it affects the glutathione in anyway but I take l-carnitine to a ph of ~7.4 and have no issues with it.

I could be wrong about this but I'd say if it didn't oxidize on you then you're probably fine. I keep the pH under 7.
 
I am up to a milliliter a day which is 176mg a day, this is because I tested the displacement. Injection site is fine but I am getting a pretty consistent headache. I saw that this was a side effect of glutathione. Does this go away or is there a way to stop it?

I never got a headache but I started slow. Started out 100mg a few times a week and slowly ramped up to 200-400mg/day.

Quality of the raws maybe? I know some are using bulk supplements as their raw source. I'm using belle chemical which is pharma grade.
How long do you think it took you to get to 200/day?
From my notes looks like 3 weeks. That wasn't necessarily intentional but idk maybe it helped.

It is belle for the reduced glutathione and sodium hydroxide. I think I got it from your recommendation to someone else.

There might be something to it because the headaches have scaled with the dose. I am upping my hydration also.

I notice a difference taking it though. Almost to the point of making the headaches worth it.

I experienced a big difference as well. General inflammation, some low grade pain and stiffness, as well as a plantar fasciitis issue I was dealing with went away.

Another thought on the headaches. Herx reaction? I really have no idea just throwing it out there.

My mood and mental clarity have been really good. Inflation wise, I am dealing with a bad bulging disc but I had a really good week. Even did some light sparring. Although I am paying for it today. lol

What is herx reaction?
 
I googled it. Came up with Herxheimer reaction?

Could be, I saw activated charcoal helps with it. I’ll take that and see if it helps.
