Description
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of the amino acids glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, and is one of the most important and powerful antioxidants produced in the body. It plays a crucial role in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), detoxifying harmful substances, and maintaining the redox balance within cells. Its mechanism of action involves donating an electron from its sulfhydryl group to neutralize free radicals, and it is a cofactor for several antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase. Key research areas for glutathione include its role in aging, neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular health, and immune function. Studies are also exploring its potential in improving skin health and reducing oxidative stress induced by environmental toxins and lifestyle factors. This product is intended for research purposes only and is not for human consumption.
