Glutathione
Master Antioxidant | Tripeptide Redox Compound | For Laboratory Use Only
Overview
Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It is one of the body’s most important endogenous antioxidants and is widely studied for its roles in detoxification, redox balance, immune support, and cellular protection.
Researchers value Glutathione for its ability to neutralize oxidative stress, recycle other antioxidants, and support cellular repair pathways across multiple biological systems.
