Glutathione (glutathione, r-glutamyl cysteingl +glycine, GSH) is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine, which exists in almost every cell of the body.
Glutathione can help maintain the normal immune system function, and has an antioxidant effect, integrated detoxification effect. 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., so that it has an integrated detoxification effect.
Glutathione can be used not only in medicine, but also as a base material for functional foods, and is widely used in functional foods such as anti-aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor.

1. Clinical drugs
Glutathione drugs are widely used clinically. In addition to using its sulfhydryl group to chelate heavy metals, fluorides, mustard gas and other toxin poisoning, it is also used in hepatitis, hemolytic diseases, keratitis, cataracts and retinal diseases, etc., as a treatment or Drugs for adjuvant therapy.

The latest research also shows that GSH can correct the imbalance of acetylcholine and cholinesterase, play an anti-allergic effect, prevent skin aging and pigmentation, reduce the formation of melanin, improve the skin's antioxidant capacity and make the skin shiny. , GSH also has a good effect in treating corneal diseases.
2. Antioxidant effect
As an important antioxidant in the body, glutathione can remove free radicals in the human body; because GSH itself is susceptible to oxidation by certain substances, it can protect the sulfhydryl groups in many proteins and enzymes in the body from being harmful Oxidation of substances, so as to ensure the normal performance of molecular physiological functions such as proteins and enzymes; the content of glutathione in human red blood cells is very large, which is of great significance for protecting the sulfhydryl groups of proteins on the red blood cell membrane in a reduced state and preventing hemolysis.
