Glutathione

Basic Description

​ ​Structure and function​ ​:
Glutathione is made from ​Glutamate, cysteine ​​and glycine​ The tripeptide (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) works through the following mechanisms:
1. ​​Antioxidant​ ​：As an endogenous antioxidant, it directly removes free radicals (ROS), regenerates vitamin C/E, and maintains cellular redox balance.
2. ​​Detoxification ​: Binds to heavy metals and drug toxins to support liver detoxification function.
3. ​​Whitening ​：Inhibit tyrosinase activity and reduce melanin synthesis.
4. ​​Immune modulation​ ​：Enhance lymphocyte function and assist in anti-viral and anti-inflammatory responses.

​ ​Application Areas​ ​:
• ​​Cosmetics ​: Whitening essence, antioxidant cream, anti-pollution products.
• ​​Medical ​: Liver protection drugs, detoxifiers, nutritional supplements.
• ​Research ​：Study on oxidative stress model and cell apoptosis mechanism.
