L-Glutathione CAS 70-18-8

Glutathione is a tripeptide compound formed by the condensation of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine by peptide bonds. It is the most important low molecular mercaptan in mammalian cells to resist oxidative stress.

Description

As nature’s antioxidant master, Glutathione’s appearance is colorless transparent slender granular crystal, which is soluble in water, dilute alcohol, liquid ammonia, dimethylformamide, but insoluble in ethanol and acetone. Widely found in bread yeast, wheat germ, animal liver, chicken blood, pig blood, tomato, pineapple, and cucumber.

Functions:

It has the functions of anti-oxidation, free radical scavenging, detoxification, strengthening immunity, delaying senility, anti-cancer, and anti-radiation harm.
It also helps white blood cells kill bacteria, and prevents oxidation of vitamins C and E, preventing stroke and cataract formation.
In addition, glutathione has the function of binding to carcinogens and flinging them out of the body through urine.
Glutathione (GSH) plays a protective role in liver self-repair, synthesis, detoxification, estrogen inactivation, and other functions, and
is the primary antioxidant in the human body to counteract free radical damage.
