Function

  1. Antioxidant Activity:
    • L-Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge oxygen-derived free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage.
    • It helps maintain the integrity of cell membranes and protects proteins and enzymes from oxidative stress.
  2. Detoxification:
    • GSH binds to toxins, drugs, and heavy metals (such as lead and mercury), facilitating their excretion from the body.
    • It is involved in the detoxification of harmful substances, including those found in environmental pollutants and certain medications.
  3. Immune Support:
    • L-Glutathione helps maintain a healthy immune system by supporting the function of lymphocytes and other immune cells.
  4. Metabolic Regulation:
    • It is involved in various metabolic processes, including amino acid transport, protein synthesis, and the regeneration of vitamins C and E.
  5. Skin Health:
    • GSH has been shown to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and lighten pigmentation.
