Glutathione
Glutathione (Master Antioxidant Tripeptide)
The body's master endogenous antioxidant and detoxifier
How it works
Glutathione is a tripeptide that serves as the cell's principal redox buffer. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species directly, regenerates other antioxidants, and is a key cofactor in phase-II liver detoxification (conjugation) reactions.
What the research explores
In published research, Glutathione has been studied in connection with the following. These describe findings reported in the literature — not approved uses, claims, or outcomes to expect.
- Primary cellular antioxidant defense
- Supports liver detoxification pathways
- Studied for oxidative-stress markers
- Investigated for skin and immune research
- Regenerates vitamins C and E
Glutathione status is a recognized marker of cellular oxidative balance, and its depletion is associated with aging and a range of disease states in the literature.
Adverse events & gaps
Endogenous compound with a long safety record. Generally well tolerated.
