Glutathione
PH-GLUT-001
Specifications
Description
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide antioxidant that serves as the body's master antioxidant. This essential molecule plays critical roles in cellular detoxification and oxidative stress defense.
Mechanism of Action
Glutathione functions as the primary intracellular antioxidant, neutralizing reactive oxygen species and supporting Phase II detoxification. Clinical studies demonstrate that supplementation improves oxidative stress markers and mitochondrial function (Kumar et al., 2022). Research shows benefits for inflammation and cellular protection (Kumar et al., 2021).
Research Applications
- Oxidative stress research (Kumar et al., 2022)
