Now, no matter in the liver disease department or oncology, can often see the glutathione drug, in beauty market, glutathione products welcomed by women who pursuing beauty; some elderly found that, their health care products contains glutathione.

Glutathione is what kind of a material in the end? Has what kind of an effect to the body?

Glutathione is one kind of the body's own small molecular peptides,The role of glutathione on the human body Articles widely present in the human cells, be constituted of glutamic acid, cysteine , glycine these 3 amino acids. Glutathione manufacturer claimed that in the past it is only the biochemical industry term, but the term soon like cholesterol caught on to become one of the indicators to measure human health. Numerous studies had confirmed that glutathione can improve human immunity, and its powerful anti-free radical ability becomes a "firewall" to protect the human body functions.

Glutathione full activated the immune cells, human body is made up of large and small cells, it can be said that the human body is a cell Kingdom. And the neutrophil, phagocytic cells, lymphocytes and so on constitute the immune system of the human body, make the body thereby have a spontaneous immunity, either against the invasion of external pathogenic substances such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. also can resolve the body’s abnormal physiological changes, such as the proliferation of cancer cells, so that maintaining the normal survival order, protect health.

However, to maintain the normal function of the immune system, immune cells must be fully activated and differentiated, and glutathione just play the role of full activating and differentiating immune cells. When intracellular glutathione concentration was maintained at or above normal levels, it will make the body's immune cells be full activated and differentiated, thereby enhancing the body's immune system, prevent cancer, heart disease, premature aging, autoimmune disease and a variety of chronic diseases. In contrast, if the intracellular glutathione concentration decreased to 40%, T cells (the body's immune cells) activity was inhibited completely, the body's immune function will be greatly affected. In addition, body lack of glutathione, the skin will be affected, supply glutathione can reduce cell damage, keep skin smooth, glutathione also widely used in cosmetic raw material.

The human body will produce large amounts of free radicals everyday, environmental factors also can promote free radicals generating. Because the oxidation capacity of free radicals is strong, appropriate amount of free radicals is the bodyguard, can kill bacteria, viruses, break down the poison; excess free radicals will oxidize the body's normal substances, destroys the cell structure, promote cell malignancy. The study found that free radicals are closely linked with coronary heart disease, cancer, aging and other diseases. Glutathione as an antioxidant can clean the body’s free radicals, clean and purify the body’s environment pollution, thus enhancing people's physical and mental health.

And glutathione in the battle of antioxidation, has great spirit of “sacrifice”. Because of reduced glutathione containing thiol (- SH), itself is vulnerable to oxidize certain substances, so it often sacrifice themselves, that is, first oxidize themselves to protect more protein and enzyme molecules’ thiol in the body do not oxidized by free radicals and other harmful substances, so that they can better play its physiological function. For example, let the protein’s thiol groups in red blood cell membrane are protected, red cell membrane remains soft, effectively prevent hemolysis; let the hemoglobin in red blood will not due to certain factors lose the oxygen carrying capacity, etc. Glutathione as the most abundant and the most important material in human cells antioxidant system, deserved to become the main force of scavenging free radical in human body, is the "super antioxidant".
