What’s Glutathione?
Glutathione as an active tripeptide, comprised of three amino acids: glutamic acid (Glu), cysteine (Cys), and glycine (Gly).
Glutathione is soluble in water, dilute alcohol, and dimethylformamide, and is insoluble in ethanol. The solid state of glutathione is relatively stable, and its aqueous solution easily oxidized in the air.
Forms of Glutathione:
L-Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG; glutathione disulfide) forms in cells and tissues, and the concentration of glutathione range from 0.5 to 10mM in animal cells.
Functions of Glutathione on the human body:
As a major intracellular antioxidant:
Excessive free radicals produced by the body's metabolism can damage the biofilm, invade life macromolecules, accelerate the body's aging, and induce tumor or atherosclerosis.
Glutathione plays an essential role in the biochemical defense system in the human body. Its primary physiological function is to scavenge free radicals in the human body. It is an antioxidant in the body and protects many thiol groups in proteins and enzymes.
As a broad-spectrum antidote:
Glutathione can combine with toxic compounds, heavy metal ions or carcinogens entering the human body, and promote its excretion, neutralizing and detoxifying.
Increasing the level of glutathione in cells is the most effective weapon to enhance the immune system.
As an effective anti-aging and beauty brightener:
Glutathione can effectively delay cell aging and stimulate cell regeneration. At the same time, it can prevent skin pigmentation by affecting skin cell tyrosinase activity and inhibiting melanin production.
Glutathione can increase or promote the secretion of interleukin (human auxin). Interleukins can regulate the shortening of telomere shortening and prolong cell life, thereby extending human life.
Glutathione is an effective antioxidant against free radical damage to DNA mitochondria and repairs damaged DNA mitochondria; thus prolonging the cell division cycle and extending cell life.
Recommend Dosage and Safety of Glutathione:
Scientific evidence suggests that glutathione intake is preferably between 100 and 150 mg per day. Therefore, 100 mg of daily intake is ideal for healthy people. However, for people with low levels of glutathione in their bodies (sub-health or unhealthy), glutathione intake should be consulted with a health care practitioner to determine the appropriate dose.
Since glutathione is a natural substance already in the human body, it is theoretically very safe. After a large number of social food-testing experiments, the participants consumed 1000 mg per day or ten times the recommended dosage, and the research proved to be safe.
Used in combination with vitamin C:
Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant in the body. Since vitamin C can be reversibly hydrogenated or dehydrogenated, Vitamin C plays a vital role in many redox reactions in the body. For example, the active group of many enzymes is a thiol (-SH) that maintains the activity of the protein while keeping the -SH in a reduced state; vitamin C can convert oxidized glutathione to reduced glutathione,; vitamin C also protects vitamins A, E and certain B vitamins from oxidation. Therefore, when glutathione used, it can be combined with vitamin C to improve its efficacy.
