DOCUMENTED RESEARCH AREAS

  • ▸Primary intracellular antioxidant neutralising reactive oxygen species in redox research
  • ▸Maintains the GSH:GSSG ratio used as a core marker of cellular redox state
  • ▸Cofactor for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase detoxification enzymes
  • ▸Regenerates oxidised vitamins C and E, sustaining antioxidant network capacity
  • ▸Supports hepatic detoxification and conjugation pathway research
  • ▸Modulates immune-cell redox signalling and inflammatory balance
  • ▸Studied for tyrosinase inhibition in dermatological depigmentation models

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Glutathione is the body’s principal endogenous antioxidant — a tripeptide (gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) that neutralises reactive oxygen species and supports phase-II detoxification and cellular redox balance. Research examines its metabolism and whether supplementation can raise the body’s glutathione stores.

  • ▸Primary intracellular antioxidant and redox buffer
  • ▸Cofactor for glutathione-peroxidase and detoxification enzymes
  • ▸Studied for whether oral/liposomal forms raise body glutathione stores
