Glutathione 70-18-8

Glutathione is a tripeptide compound formed by the condensation of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine through peptide bonds. Glutathione is the most important low molecular mercaptan for antioxidant stress in mammalian cells.  Was discovered in 1921 and 1930 to determine the chemical structure, the famous American nutrition health experts said Dr Al sensitive del glutathione is three times the efficiency of the anti-aging amino acid, also known as the antioxidant master of nature, appearance is colorless transparent thin granular crystal, soluble in water, dilute alcohol, liquid ammonia, dimethyl formamide, insoluble in ethanol, ether, acetone.  Its properties are stable when it is solid, and its aqueous solution is easily oxidized to oxidized glutathione in air. It widely exists in yeast, wheat germ, animal liver, chicken blood, pig blood, tomato, pineapple and cucumber, among which wheat germ and animal liver have the highest content of 100 ~ 1000mg/100g.  It has the functions of anti-oxidation, scavenging free radicals, detoxification, enhancing immunity, delaying aging, anti-cancer, anti-radiation and so on.  Chemicalbook also helps white blood cells kill bacteria, prevent vitamin C and E oxidation, and prevent strokes and cataract formation.  In addition, glutathione binds to carcinogens and excretes them in the urine.  Liver is the most important detoxification organ in human body, which contains abundant glutathione (GSH) to protect liver synthesis, detoxification, estrogen inactivation and other functions.  It is the body's primary antioxidant that counteracts damage from free radicals, which are contributing factors to aging and disease.  When the liver is damaged, such as liver disease, the body consumes large amounts of GSH to help the damaged liver repair and detoxify itself, resulting in a significant decrease in glutathione.  Glutathione drugs are needed to help the damaged liver repair itself.  Therefore, glutathione peptide drugs are suitable for viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, etc.), alcoholic liver disease, drug liver disease, fatty liver and other liver diseases, liver disease patients with liver protection medicine.
