GSH - reduced L-glutathione
Orthomolecular combination of the highest quality two active compounds: reduced L-glutathione and vitamin E.
Physiological functions of the active substance
- Reduced L-Glutathione (GSH) is a small-molecule tripeptide made of three amino acids: glycine, cysteine and glutamic acid, which are linked by a peptide bond. The thiol group (-SH) is responsible for its biological functions in our body.
- Reduced glutathione is a ubiquitous antioxidant involved in many cellular functions such as detoxification, amino acid transport, coenzyme production, and the recycling of vitamins E and C.
- Glutathione acts as a detoxifying substance and is involved in the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (containing selenium as a cofactor), which increases the viability of erythrocytes. It also takes part in the entry of amino acids into cell membranes.
- Vitamin E helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
