Glutathione is a tri-peptide of ³-amide and mercapto, be composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. Exists in almost every cell of the body. Glutathione can help maintain the normal function of the immune system and has antioxidant properties and integrate detoxification.

The mercapto group on the cysteine glutathione active group (glutathione often abbreviated as G-SH),Glutathione maintaining immune function Articles easy and certain drugs (such as paracetamol), a toxin (such as free radicals, iodoacetic acid, mustard, The combination of lead, mercury, arsenic and other heavy metals) has integrated detoxification. Therefore glutathione (especially liver cells, glutathione) can be involved in the biotransformation, and thus the machine body of harmful poisons into harmless substances, and excreted. Glutathione also helps to maintain normal immune system function. Glutathione is widely present in animals and plants, has an important role in vivo. Glutathione also has a whitening effect, in recent years, many businessmen use glutathione as cosmetic raw material and added it to skin care products or cleansing supplies, or use it to make nutritional supplement tablets.

Excessive free radicals can damage biofilm in body's metabolism, invasion of macromolecules of life, accelerate the body aging, and the generation of induced tumors or atherosclerosis. Glutathione plays an important role in the biochemical defense system of the human body, and has a wide range of physiological functions. The main physiological role of glutathione: to rid the body’s free radicals, as an important antioxidant in the body, protecting sulfhydryl in many proteins and enzymes. GSH in structure containing a reactive thiol group-SH, and susceptible to oxidative dehydrogenation, the specific structure to become the main body radical scavenger.

Glutathione can also improve the body's immune system and protect the hemoglobin not subjected to the oxidation hydroxide radicals and other oxidation so that it continued to the normal functioning of the ability to transport oxygen; glutathione protect the enzyme molecule-SH groups, conducive to the activity of enzyme, and can restore the function of the activity of the-SH group has been damaged by the enzyme molecule, to resume the enzyme activity.

Glutathione can also inhibit ethanol against the fatty liver generated by liver. Glutathione caused by radiation, radioactive drugs, leukopenia symptoms, there is a strong protective effect. And enter the body of toxic compounds, heavy metal ions or carcinogen glutathione and promote excreted, play a role in detoxification.

Currently, glutathione manufacturer have developed glutathione drugs and widely used in clinical, in addition to use its sulfhydryl to combine with heavy metals, fluoride, mustard gas poisoning, also used in hepatitis, hemolytic diseases, as well as keratitis, cataracts and retinal diseases such as therapeutic or auxiliary therapeutic drugs. Scientists also pleasantly surprised to find that glutathione has the function to inhibit HIV. Add glutathione in food may serve to strengthen the food’s nutrition; strengthen flavor; prevent deeper color; act as a stabilizing agent and so on.
