Vitamins & Wellness Research Catalog
Research-grade vitamin and antioxidant preparations, including cyanocobalamin and glutathione.
Entries here are supplied as research materials, not as nutritional products. Check the listed concentration, container size and storage requirement on each product page, and request the analytical documentation for the batch you intend to order.
Both entries here are research-grade preparations of compounds that also exist as nutritional products, and the distinction is not cosmetic. Cyanocobalamin is supplied as a 1mg/mL solution and is studied as a cofactor for methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which places it in one-carbon metabolism and methylation research rather than in supplementation. Glutathione is supplied as a 1500mg lyophilized powder and is used both as a redox readout, through the ratio of its reduced and oxidised forms, and as a conjugation substrate in phase II metabolism studies. It oxidises readily once in solution, so working dilutions are prepared immediately before use.
The two listings differ in every handling respect, which is worth reading before treating them as one category. B-12 is supplied as a 1mg/mL solution in a 10mL multi-use vial, held at room temperature and protected from light — it arrives at a fixed concentration and needs no diluent. Glutathione is a 1500mg lyophilized powder held at 2-8°C, with no concentration until it is reconstituted; bacteriostatic water is stocked under Accessories. Glutathione additionally oxidises in solution, so its reduced-to-oxidised ratio — the property most redox work is measuring — starts changing as soon as it is dissolved. Request the batch documentation for the material you intend to order.

Vitamins & Wellness Research Catalog questions
- What is listed under Vitamins & Wellness?
Two listings: B-12 and Glutathione 1500mg. Each is grouped here by the research area its published literature addresses, not by any effect. Open a listing to read its description, the sizes offered and the specifications recorded for it.
- How are the listings under Vitamins & Wellness stored?
This category spans two storage requirements, so they are not interchangeable on handling: B-12 — room temperature, protect from light; Glutathione 1500mg — refrigerate at 2-8°C. Each product page carries its own storage line, and that is the one that governs. How stable is a lyophilised peptide in storage? covers what temperature and residual moisture do to dried material.
- Which listings under Vitamins & Wellness need reconstitution?
Glutathione 1500mg is supplied as lyophilized powder and requires a diluent; B-12 ships already in solution. Bacteriostatic water is stocked separately in 3mL and 10mL vials. Savage Labs does not specify a reconstitution volume, a working concentration, or a basis for calculating either — those are determined by the protocol the material is used in, not by this catalog.
- Why does Vitamins & Wellness list more than one preparation?
Because the preparation is part of what is being compared. This category carries injectable solution (multi-use vial): B-12; lyophilized powder: Glutathione 1500mg. A prepared solution and a lyophilized vial of the same compound are not the same material at a different price: one arrives at a concentration fixed at manufacture, the other is dried and its concentration is set by whoever reconstitutes it. Packaging format describes the container and establishes nothing about a route of administration.
- What purity is reported across Vitamins & Wellness?
Every listing in this category with a purity figure records 99%, as reported for the batch. A purity figure is a chromatographic measurement and does not on its own establish identity or how much peptide a vial holds — purity, identity and content are three separate measurements. Ask for the batch documentation covering the material you intend to order.
