Alternative for Sodium Thioglycolate ??

I have to make transport media for skin swabs, but my lab don't have sodium thioglycolate? Can you tell any alternative for this or do you know any other transport media I can make without it, Ames and Staurt both used sodium thioglycolate.

Why did I instantly recall the legally blonde scene from just the name of the chemical?

I was wondering if someone was going to make a comment about this. Like if they were in the hair subreddit or labrats lol.

Legally blonde was my first thought as well.
