Description
What it is
The body’s master antioxidant — a tripeptide central to nearly every detoxification pathway studied, with thousands of published papers across redox biology.
Why it’s studied
Glutathione is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant, and depleted levels are documented across virtually every chronic disease process studied in research.
Key research findings
-
Central role in Phase II liver detoxification pathways
-
Documented decline in glutathione levels with age and oxidative stress
-
One of the most-cited compounds in redox biology research (thousands of published studies)
