RESEARCH OVERVIEW
About this compound.
Glutathione is a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant and a cofactor for glutathione peroxidases and S-transferases used in Phase II hepatic detoxification. Reduced (GSH) versus oxidized (GSSG) ratios are studied as a marker of oxidative stress in cellular research.

FAQ
Common questions.
What does glutathione do?+
It is the primary intracellular antioxidant, a cofactor for Phase II conjugation enzymes, and a substrate for glutathione peroxidases that detoxify peroxides.
Why is the dose so high?+
Glutathione is a cellular cofactor used in millimolar concentrations, not a signaling peptide. Research doses are correspondingly larger than for receptor-binding peptides.
