    What is Glutathione Ratio (GSH/GSSG)? Optimal Ranges & Function

    Normal Range:30-200 ratio
    Optimal Range:100-200 ratio

    What is Glutathione Ratio (GSH/GSSG)?

    This ratio compares reduced glutathione (GSH, the active antioxidant form) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG, the used-up form). Glutathione is your body's master antioxidant, found in every cell.

    Why Glutathione Ratio (GSH/GSSG) Matters

    The GSH/GSSG ratio is the best indicator of your cellular redox (antioxidant) status. A high ratio means your cells have abundant antioxidant reserves to neutralize free radicals. A low ratio indicates oxidative stress is overwhelming your defenses—associated with aging, chronic disease, and reduced detoxification capacity.

    Symptoms of Low Glutathione Ratio (GSH/GSSG)

    • Oxidative stress state
    • Reduced detoxification capacity
    • Accelerated aging
    • Chronic fatigue
    • Increased infection susceptibility
    • Neurological symptoms

    Symptoms of High Glutathione Ratio (GSH/GSSG)

    • High is optimal
    • Indicates strong antioxidant reserves
    • Healthy cellular redox balance
