Glutathione- Summary
- Prostamax is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the prostate gland. It supports prostate epithelial cell function, promotes normalization of prostate tissue, and is studied for its potential in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate anti-aging. It is one of the more widely used Khavinson bioregulators among men over 40.
- Glutathione is the body's master endogenous antioxidant tripeptide, composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species, supports detoxification in the liver, recycles other antioxidants (vitamins C and E), and plays a central role in immune function, DNA repair, and cellular redox balance.

- Key Benefits
- Supports normalization of prostate tissue architecture
- May reduce prostate enlargement associated with BPH
- Anti-inflammatory effects on prostatic tissue
- Reduces prostate cell apoptosis from oxidative stress
- Potential support in chronic prostatitis
- Anti-aging effects on prostate glandular tissue
- Complementary to conventional BPH therapies
- Primary endogenous antioxidant and free radical scavenger
- Supports hepatic detoxification of xenobiotics and heavy metals
- Recycles vitamins C and E to maintain antioxidant network
- Modulates immune function and T-cell activity
- Skin brightening via inhibition of tyrosinase (IV/topical routes)
- Neuroprotective in oxidative stress-related conditions
- Mitochondrial protection and energy metabolism support
- Side Effects
- Generally well tolerated in available research
- Mild injection site reactions
- No significant adverse urological events reported at standard doses
- Oral bioavailability is limited (largely hydrolyzed in gut); liposomal or sublingual forms preferred
- IV administration: rare allergic reactions, vein irritation
- High-dose supplementation may cause zinc depletion over time
- Inhaled glutathione may trigger bronchoconstriction in asthmatics
