- The table below compares the most researched peptides for detoxification support. Mechanism, dosing structure, and evidence quality.
- Reduced Glutathione (GSH)
- Phase II liver enzyme substrate (glutathione S-transferase). Conjugates lipophilic toxins for renal excretion
- 500–1000mg IV or liposomal, twice daily
- Strong. RCTs show 40–60% increase in hepatic GSH levels within 7 days
- Gold standard for acute detoxification support. Bioavailability is dosage-limiting factor
- Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly)
- Telomerase activation in hepatocytes and immune cells. Extends replicative capacity of detox-critical cells
- 5–10mg subcutaneous, 10-day cycles every 4–6 months
- Moderate. Rodent models show restored phase II enzyme activity in aged liver tissue
- Best for sustained detoxification capacity in aging or chronically stressed systems
- Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1)
- Immune surveillance upregulation. Enhances clearance of senescent cells and intracellular toxins via IL-2/IFN-γ pathways
- 1.6mg subcutaneous, 2–3× weekly for 4–8 weeks
- Strong. FDA-approved in multiple countries for immune modulation; detox effects are secondary outcome data
- Synergistic with glutathione for immune-mediated toxin clearance
- SS-31 (Elamipretide)
- Mitochondrial membrane stabilization. Reduces oxidative phosphorylation byproducts and supports ATP-dependent detox processes
- 5–40mg subcutaneous daily for 4–6 weeks
- Emerging. Phase II trials show improved mitochondrial function markers; detox-specific data limited
- Strongest mechanism for mitochondrial toxin clearance but requires longer cycles to observe benefit
- Thymalin (Thymic Peptide Bioregulator)
- T-cell differentiation and immune surveillance. Supports clearance of damaged cells accumulating metabolic waste
- 10mg intramuscular or subcutaneous, 10-day cycles
- Moderate. Eastern European research shows immune restoration in aged populations; detox outcomes are secondary
- Complements Tα1 for immune-based detoxification pathways
