Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. It contains sulfhydryl groups and has important antioxidant and detoxification functions. It exists in the human body in two forms: reduced form (G-SH) and oxidized form (G-S-S-G). The reduced form accounts for the majority and plays a key role under physiological conditions.
Glutathione is a tripeptide containing γ-amide bonds and sulfhydryl groups. It is composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine and exists in almost every cell of the body. Glutathione can help maintain normal immune system function and has antioxidant and integrated detoxification effects. The sulfhydryl group on cysteine is its active group (so it is often abbreviated as G-SH), which is easy to combine with certain drugs, toxins, etc., giving it an integrated detoxification effect. Glutathione can not only be used in drugs, but also as a base material for functional foods. It is widely used in functional foods such as delaying aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor.
What role does glutathione play in our body?
Antioxidant-Glutathione is the main antioxidant in the human body. Our body relies on glutathione to eliminate toxins. Glutathione is the core of all immune functions. Other antioxidants in our body rely on glutathione to function normally.
Detoxification - Glutathione detoxifies a wide range of pollutants by binding to carcinogens, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and radiation to form a toxin-soluble compound that can be excreted in urine or bile.
Immune System - Healthy growth and activity of immune cells depends on the availability of glutathione. The protective effect of glutathione is twofold, it enhances the activity of immune cells and also acts as an antioxidant within immune cells.
Increased Energy - Glutathione keeps the mitochondria of cells fully charged, increasing muscle strength and endurance. Clinical trials have shown that lowering glutathione in mitochondria can lead to cell death.
Repair - Glutathione plays an important role in repairing damaged DNA. Normal to elevated glutathione can maximize cellular repair and reduce the number of cellular mutations.
Glutathione is a natural reducing agent in the body that can effectively remove free radicals in the body and restore protein activity.
Glutathione has a detoxification effect on a variety of toxins, including heavy metals, organic solvents, epoxy compounds, etc., and can combine with them and excrete them out of the body.
The synthesis of glutathione in cells is a key process that involves the conjugation of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Its synthesis and regulation are essential for maintaining cell function.
