Glutathione
Tripeptide Antioxidant
/WHAT_IT_IS
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine; it serves as the body's principal endogenous antioxidant and detoxifier.
/USAGE
Used in research to study oxidative stress, detoxification pathways, immune function, and skin health.
/MECHANISM_OF_ACTION
Acts as an electron donor to neutralize reactive oxygen species and participates in phase II detoxification by conjugating to xenobiotics via glutathione S-transferases.
Reported Benefits
- +Reduction of oxidative stress
- +Support for phase II detoxification
- +Enhanced immune cell function
- +Potential skin-brightening effects
Reported Side Effects
- −Generally well tolerated
- −High oral doses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort
- −Rare allergic reactions

/RESEARCH_NOTES
Oral glutathione has low bioavailability; liposomal or acetylated forms improve absorption. Intravenous administration achieves significantly higher plasma levels.
