Description
Glutathione (GSH) – Master Antioxidant & Cellular Defense
Glutathione is a powerful tripeptide composed of three key amino acids: L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine, and glycine. Naturally produced by the liver, glutathione serves as the human body’s principal endogenous antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress, neutralising free radicals, and supporting crucial Phase II liver detoxification pathways.
Key Highlights:
-
Master Antioxidant: Neutralises free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
-
Cellular & Liver Detoxification: Binds to metabolic waste and heavy metals to facilitate efficient excretion.
-
Immune & Mitochondrial Support: Helps maintain optimal T-cell function and cellular energy production.
-
Skin & Radiant Complexion: Regulates melanin synthesis pathways to promote skin clarity and tone balance.
-
Purity & Quality: High-purity active raw peptide suitable for research or formulation.
