Description

Glutathione is a tripeptide antioxidant composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It plays a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and detoxifying harmful compounds. Endogenously produced in most mammalian tissues, glutathione supports immune function, mitochondrial health, and cellular repair mechanisms. It is widely studied for its applications in reducing oxidative damage, enhancing detoxification, and potential anti-aging effects.
