  Product Detail  

1. 1. Description

   Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is synthesized in the human body and is also found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Glutathione typically appears as a white crystalline powder, soluble in water, with the "reduced form" (GSH) being the biologically active and most widely used variant.
   
   
   In biological systems, glutathione plays a critical role in redox balance, acting as a key antioxidant to neutralize free radicals. Unlike some exogenous antioxidants, it is endogenously produced, but exogenous supplementation can enhance its levels in the body. Its low toxicity and high biocompatibility make it suitable for applications in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
   
   

   2. Application

   （1）Glutathione is widely used in dietary supplements, formulated into capsules, tablets, or oral solutions to support antioxidant defense, liver detoxification, and immune function.
   
   
   （2）In the cosmetics industry, it is a key ingredient in skin-whitening products such as serums, creams, and masks, valued for its ability to inhibit melanin production and reduce hyperpigmentation.
   
   
   （3）In pharmaceutical research, glutathione serves as a raw material for liver-protective drugs and therapies targeting oxidative stress-related conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular disorders.
   
   
   （4）It is also applied in the food and beverage industry as a natural antioxidant additive, preserving product freshness and preventing lipid oxidation.
   
   

   3. Main Efficacy

   Glutathione exerts its effects primarily through its role as a master antioxidant, maintaining cellular redox balance and supporting detoxification pathways. It also modulates immune responses and melanin synthesis, contributing to its diverse health and cosmetic benefits.
   
   
   （1）Glutathione: Neutralizes free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), reducing oxidative damage to cells and protecting DNA, proteins, and lipids from peroxidation.
   
   
   （2）It supports liver health by facilitating the conjugation and elimination of toxins, heavy metals, and metabolic waste products, enhancing liver detoxification capacity.
   
   
   （3）In skin care, glutathione inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin synthesis and deposition, thereby lightening dark spots, uneven skin tone, and promoting a brighter complexion.
   
   
   （4）Glutathione enhances immune function by supporting the activity of white blood cells and reducing oxidative stress in immune cells, helping the body defend against infections.
