Product Description
Glutathione (r-glutamyl cysteingl+glycine, GSH) is a type of peptide containing γ- A tripeptide with amide bonds and thiol groups, composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, found in almost every cell of the body.
Glutathione can help maintain normal immune system function and has antioxidant and integrated detoxification effects. The thiol group on cysteine is its active group (often abbreviated as G-SH), which is easily bound to certain drugs, toxins, etc., giving it an integrated detoxification effect [2]. Glutathione can not only be used for drugs, but also as a base material for functional foods, widely used in functional foods such as delaying aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor. [2]
Glutathione has two forms: reduced (G-SH) and oxidized (G-S-S-G), with reduced glutathione accounting for the majority under physiological conditions. Glutathione reductase can catalyze tautomerism between two types, and its coenzyme can also provide NADPH for pentose phosphate bypass metabolism [2].
