There are two forms of glutathione: reduced form (antioxidant form) and oxidized form. The reduced form becomes the oxidized form after donating electrons and neutralizing free radicals, while the oxidized form returns to the reduced form after gaining electrons. The prototype, the real anti-free radical is l-glutathione reduced.
Important vital functions of l-glutathione reduced:
1. Directly neutralize various types of free radicals, including singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, nitrogen free radicals, and carbon free radicals
2. Remove cancer-causing chemicals from the body
3. Liver detoxification
4. Clears Mercury from Cells and Brain
5. Supports the immune system
6. Regulating the balance of cell proliferation and self-apoptosis
7. Mitochondrial health depends on glutathione
The protective function of reduced glutathione persists in all vital organs of the body, including the liver, kidneys, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, skin and immune system.
In addition to the above functions and characteristics, reduced glutathione also has the following effects:
1. Maintain the balance of redox reactions in cells. All life functions are inseparable from redox reactions. Once the balance between the two is lost, the protein will lose its function and the cell will die. Glutathione protects cellular health by maintaining redox balance inside and on the cell surface.
2. Reduced glutathione enhances immune cells to kill bacteria in the lungs and prevents influenza virus from multiplying in the respiratory tract.
3. When nutrients are lacking, reduced glutathione can provide cysteine for the body to synthesize proteins.
