Abstract
A solid oxidized glutathione salt is produced by heating an oxidized glutathione at 30° C. or higher while the oxidized glutathione is brought into contact with an aqueous medium in the presence of a substance for providing a cation, to produce the salt of the oxidized glutathione and the cation as a solid, wherein the aqueous medium is composed of water and/or a water-soluble medium, and the cation is at least one selected from an ammonium cation, a calcium cation and a magnesium cation.

A method for producing a solid oxidized glutathione salt, comprising:
- heating an oxidized glutathione at 30° C. or higher while the oxidized glutathione is contacted with an aqueous medium in the presence of a substance for providing a cation, to produce a salt of the oxidized glutathione and the cation as a solid,
- wherein the aqueous medium comprises at least one of water and a water-soluble medium, and
- the cation is at least one selected from the group consisting of an ammonium cation, a calcium cation and a magnesium cation.
A solid oxidized glutathione salt, comprising:
- oxidized glutathione;
- and
- at least one cation selected from the group consisting of an ammonium cation, a calcium cation and a magnesium cation,
- wherein the solid oxidized glutathione salt is in a solid state at room temperature.
