Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide containing a γ-amino group and a thiol group. It is composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine and is present in almost every cell of the body.
Glutathione can help maintain normal immune system function and has antioxidant and detoxifying integrating effects. The sulfhydryl group on cysteine is its active group (hence often abbreviated as G-SH), which easily combines with certain drugs, toxins, etc., enabling it to have the integrating detoxification effect. Glutathione is not only used in medicine but also can be used as the base material for functional foods. It is widely applied in functional foods such as those for delaying aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor.
