2) What’s L-Glutathione Reduced?
2.1) Glutathione (glutathione, r-glutamyl cysteingl +glycine, GSH) is a tripeptide containing γ-amide bonds and sulfhydryl groups. It is composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. It is present in almost every part of the body. cell. Glutathione can help maintain the normal immune system function, and has an antioxidant effect, integrated detoxification effect. The sulfhydryl group on cysteine is its active group (so it is often abbreviated as G-SH), which is easy to combine with certain drugs, toxins, etc., so that it has an integrated detoxification effect. Glutathione can be used not only in medicine, but also as a base material for functional foods, and is widely used in functional foods such as anti-aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor.

2.2) Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cystine and glycine. It is the prosthetic group of glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase and the coenzyme of glyoxalase and triose phosphate dehydrogenase. Participate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and sugar metabolism in the body, enabling the human body to obtain high energy. Glutathione can activate a variety of enzymes, such as sulfhydryl (-SH) enzymes, coenzymes, etc. in the body, thereby promoting carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, and can also affect cell metabolism. It is an important intracellular regulation of metabolism substance.

2.3) In addition, glutathione exists in the body in the form of reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Its active ingredient is reduced glutathione, which can participate in the redox process in the body. . Under the action of glutathione transferase, reduced glutathione can combine with peroxides and free radicals to resist the destruction of sulfhydryl groups by oxidants, and protect sulfhydryl-containing proteins and sulfhydryl-containing enzymes in cell membranes. Destroy, and also fight against the damage of free radicals to important organs.

2.4) Glutathione is widely present in animal and plant cells, and is abundant in liver and lens. It can now be produced by chemical synthesis or fermentation. Glutathione is the prosthetic group of glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase and the coenzyme of glyoxalase and triose phosphate dehydrogenase. It participates in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and sugar metabolism in the body, so that the human body can obtain high energy. It can activate and protect various enzymes, such as cholinesterase and other sulfhydryl (-SH) enzymes in the body, and protect the body from iodoacetic acid, mustard gas, free radicals (such as superoxide anion), heavy metals (such as mercury, lead), The poisoning of harmful substances such as epoxides promotes the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and can also affect the metabolic process of cells. Promote the metabolism of eye tissues, inhibit the instability of crystal protein sulfhydryl groups, and prevent the development of cataracts and retinal diseases, so it can be used for keratitis, corneal trauma, etc. For such diseases, such antioxidants should be used frequently before entering old age, which can play a preventive effect. At the same time, it also has a good effect on increasing eyesight.

3) What’s the function of L-Glutathione Reduced?
As an important antioxidant in the body, glutathione can remove free radicals in the body; because GSH itself is susceptible to oxidation by certain substances, it can protect the sulfhydryl groups in many molecules such as proteins and enzymes from being harmful in the body. Substances are oxidized to ensure the normal functioning of molecular physiological functions such as proteins and enzymes; there is a lot of glutathione in human red blood cells, which is of great significance for protecting the sulfhydryl groups of proteins on red blood cell membranes in a reduced state and preventing hemolysis.

4) What’s the application of L-Glutathione Reduced ?
4.1) Adding to noodle products can play a reducing role. It not only shortens the time of making bread to one-half or one-third of the original, but also greatly improves the working conditions, and plays a role in strengthening food nutrition and other functions.
4.2) Add it to yogurt and baby food, equivalent to vitamin C, which can act as a stabilizer.
4.3) Mix it into the fish cake to prevent the color from deepening.
4.4) Adding to meat products and cheese and other foods has the effect of enhancing flavor.
