Glutathione is a small-molecule peptide substance containing the sulfhydryl group, which has two important antioxidant effects and integrated detoxification effects. It is a peptide naturally synthesized in human cells and consists of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. There are two forms of reduced glutathione (G-SH) and oxidized glutathione (G-S-S-G). Under physiological conditions, reduced glutathione accounts for the vast majority. Glutathione reductase catalyzes the interconversion between the two types. The coenzyme of this enzyme is NADPH provided by the alternative metabolism of sugar phosphate. L-Reduced Glutathione

Reduced glutathione exists in a large amount in organisms, especially in liver cells, it can protect liver cell membranes, promote liver enzyme activity, and combine with many toxic chemicals to detoxify. Another major physiological role is as an important antioxidant in the body, which can remove free radicals in the human body. Since reduced glutathione itself is susceptible to oxidation by certain substances, it can protect the sulfhydryl groups in many proteins and enzymes from being oxidized by harmful substances such as free radicals in the body, so that molecules such as proteins and enzymes can exert their physiological functions.
