Description of L-Glutathione
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced naturally by the liver. It is also found in fruits, vegetables, and meats. It’s a tripeptide, composed of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. L-Glutathione is the biologically active form of the antioxidant, often referred to as reduced glutathione.
L-Glutathione Benefits
- Antioxidant Activity: Glutathione is a potent antioxidant, helping to combat free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, which can lead to cell damage and various diseases.
- Detoxification: Glutathione plays a crucial role in detoxifying harmful substances in the body, including environmental toxins, drugs, and carcinogens.
- Immune Function: Glutathione is involved in maintaining immune function. It’s necessary for the proliferation of lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that play a key role in the immune response.
- Skin Health: Some research suggests that glutathione can have skin-lightening effects when taken as a supplement. It may also help reduce the signs of aging.
Applications of L-Glutathione
Glutathione supplements are often used for their antioxidant properties to improve immune function and overall health. They have also been used in attempts to lighten skin, although the effectiveness and safety of this use are not well-studied.
Glutathione can be used not only for medicines, but also as a base for functional foods, and is widely used in functional foods such as delaying aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor.
