Glutathione

Glutathione (L-Glutathione / GSH — Tripeptide Antioxidant)

Description:
Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine, serving as the body’s master antioxidant and primary intracellular defense molecule. It plays a vital role in detoxification, immune regulation, DNA synthesis, and cellular repair. As one of the most abundant antioxidants in human cells, Glutathione maintains redox balance, neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), and supports overall cellular longevity and vitality.

Key Benefits:

• Powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and oxidative stress

• Supports liver detoxification and heavy metal removal

• Enhances immune function and cellular defense mechanisms

• Promotes skin brightening and even tone via melanin modulation

• Protects mitochondria and supports energy metabolism

Mechanism of Action:
Glutathione works as a redox cofactor and electron donor, converting harmful peroxides and free radicals into stable compounds while regenerating other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. It also serves as a substrate for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase, enzymes essential for maintaining redox homeostasis. In addition, Glutathione participates in phase II liver detoxification, binding toxins and facilitating their elimination. Declining GSH levels are associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and aging, making it a key focus of longevity and metabolic health research.
