Glutathione

Product Description Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It serves as the body’s primary cellular antioxidant. Supplied as ≥98% pure lyophilized powder (HPLC verified), it is designed for laboratory studies on oxidative stress, detoxification, redox balance, and cellular protection.

Key Research Mechanism Glutathione acts as a potent reducing agent that neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), detoxifies xenobiotics via conjugation, and maintains cellular thiol redox homeostasis. It cycles between reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms, supporting glutathione peroxidase and reductase systems critical for mitigating oxidative damage.

Primary Research Areas

• Oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanisms
• Detoxification pathways and liver function models
• Cellular redox signaling, mitochondrial health, and aging research
• Immune modulation and inflammation studies
