L Glutathione Reduced Powder

 

L glutathione reduced powder is a tripeptide consisting of three amino acids (cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine) found in most mammalian tissues. Glutathione acts as an antioxidant, free radical scavenger and detoxifier.

 

Glutathione serves as a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase and is also important in the uptake of amino acids and the synthesis of leukotrienes.

 

As a substrate for glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reacts with a variety of harmful chemicals to form harmless, inert products.

 

In red blood cells, these reactions prevent oxidative damage by reducing methemoglobin and superoxide. Glutathione is also involved in the formation and maintenance of disulfide bonds in proteins and in the transport of amino acids across cell membranes.

 

Glutathione has two forms: reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG). Under physiological conditions, reduced glutathione accounts for the majority. Glutathione reductase catalyzes the interconversion between the two forms. The coenzyme of this enzyme is NADPH provided by sugar phosphate bypass metabolism.

 

 

1. Molecular structure
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine ​​and glycine, and its side chain sulfhydryl group (-SH) is the active part. Reduced glutathione refers to the reduced form of glutathione, that is, its sulfhydryl group is in an undissociated state.

 

2. Biological activity
Glutathione is an important antioxidant that participates in a variety of biochemical reactions within cells and protects cells from oxidative stress. Reduced glutathione mainly acts as an antioxidant in the body, protecting cells from damage by scavenging free radicals.

 

3. Clinical application
Because glutathione has antioxidant effects, it is often used to treat liver disease, skin diseases, etc. Reduced glutathione is mainly used in the field of beauty care, such as whitening, anti-aging, etc.

 

4. Stability
Glutathione is sensitive to light and is easily decomposed and denatured. L glutathione reduced powder is relatively stable and can be stored for a long time under suitable pH conditions.

1. Liver protection
L glutathione reduced powder has the functions of detoxification, hepatoprotection, and protection of liver cell membranes, so it is often used for hepatoprotective treatment in patients with hepatitis attacks.

 

For patients with hepatitis attacks, in addition to active hepatoprotective treatment, etiological examinations are also required, which include viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, and autoimmune liver injury.

 

 

2. Reducing agent
Reduced glutathione is a relatively strong reducing agent and a tripeptide substance widely found in nature. It mainly exists in the cytoplasm and plays an important role in a variety of cell biochemical functions.

 

It can also participate in organic redox reactions, through which it can form low-toxic compounds that are easily metabolized.

 

3. Antioxidant
L glutathione reduced powder can eliminate free radicals in the body, thereby preventing skin aging and pigment accumulation, making the skin shiny, and can also reduce the occurrence of tumors and arteriosclerosis, and has very good antioxidant properties.

 

4. Treat kidney disease
When kidney ischemia and nephrotoxicity occur, the glutathione in the kidney tissue will be significantly reduced, resulting in a decrease in the antioxidant capacity of the cells, a significant decrease in cell membrane stability, and an increase in the probability of cell damage. At the same time, the process of renal ischemia and post-ischemia reperfusion will increase the production of free radicals.

 

And because of the reduction in glutathione, free radical scavenging will also be reduced to varying degrees. Eventually, free radicals in tissues and cells will increase, making cells more susceptible to damage. Supplementing glutathione can better scavenge free radicals and resist oxidation.

 

5. Anti-aging
L glutathione reduced powder has anti-aging effects and is now widely used as a bioactive additive in the food field, such as the processing of meat, fish, dairy products and baby food, and is also widely used in the health care product industry. Glutathione can prevent pigment accumulation and can effectively prevent browning when used in vegetables and fruits.
