The basics

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It is naturally produced in the liver and found in various cells throughout the body. Often referred to as the "master antioxidant," glutathione plays a crucial role in detoxification and immune function.

Roles & Functions
Antioxidant Defense: Glutathione neutralizes harmful free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress and potential damage.

Detoxification: It binds to toxins and heavy metals in the liver, aiding in their removal from the body.

Immune System Support: Glutathione enhances the activity of immune cells and plays a part in the body’s natural defense mechanisms against pathogens.

The Science

Redox Balance: Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) states. The ratio of these forms maintains the cellular redox status, essential for many biological processes.

Cysteine Donor: Glutathione donates its cysteine thiol group, which is essential in biochemical reactions that neutralise free radicals or detoxify harmful substances.

Enzyme Cofactor: It works as a cofactor for various antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase, catalysing the conversion of harmful peroxides to water.

Glutathione and health

Chronic Disease: Lower glutathione levels are associated with several chronic conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancers.

Ageing: Glutathione levels naturally decrease with age, making supplementation or dietary intake beneficial for maintaining good health.
