Description
Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of three amino acids — glutamate, cysteine, and glycine (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine). Widely regarded as the body’s master antioxidant, it plays a central role in cellular redox balance, neutralizing reactive oxygen species and supporting detoxification pathways. In controlled laboratory settings, Glutathione is studied for its role in maintaining the reduced-to-oxidized (GSH/GSSG) redox ratio, participating in phase-II detoxification via glutathione S-transferase enzymes, and protecting cellular components from oxidative stress — positioning it as a key compound in antioxidant, mitochondrial, and cellular-protection research.
Important Note
Glutathione is not approved for human consumption, medical use, or diagnostic purposes. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research only. Handling should be performed by qualified professionals in an appropriate controlled research setting.
