Product Description
Glutathione (r-glutamyl cysteine+glycine, GSH) is a type of substance that contains γ- A tripeptide with amide bonds and thiol groups, composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, exists 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 can easily bind with certain drugs, toxins, etc., giving it an integrated detoxification effect. Glutathione can not only be used in medicine, but also as a base material for functional foods, widely used in functional foods such as delaying aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor effects. [2]
Glutathione has two forms: reduced form (G-SH) and oxidized form (G-S-S-G), with reduced form glutathione accounting for the vast majority under physiological conditions. Glutathione reductase can catalyze tautomerism between two types, and its coenzyme can also provide NADPH for pentose phosphate pathway metabolism [2].
