GSH-REDUCED GLUTATHIONE

GSH-REDUCED GLUTATHIONE is a scientifically designed nutritional supplement consisting of glutathione in its physiologically active form. This product is not an amino acid blend, but is the true reduced form of glutathione. Most glutathione is found in the liver where it detoxifies many harmful compounds to be excreted through the bile. Some glutathione can also be found in red and white blood cells, the lungs and the intestinal tract. The primary biological function of glutathione is to act as a non-enzymatic reducing agent to help keep cysteine thiol side chains in a reduced state on the surface of proteins. Reduced glutathione is involved in the synthesis and repair of DNA, helps to recycle vitamins C and E, blocks free radical damage and enhances the antioxidant activity of vitamin C, facilitates the transport of amino acids, and plays a critical role in the detoxification of harmful compounds. It is also the base material for several other key antioxidant enzyme systems including glutathione-peroxidase, glutathione-reductase, and glutathione-transferase. Declines in glutathione concentrations in intracellular fluids correlate directly with indicators of aging.
