Glutathione can not only be used as medicine, but also as the base material of functional food, which is widely used in functional food such as delaying aging, enhancing immunity and anti-tumor.
Glutathione can be reduced (G-SH) and oxidized (G-S-S-G) in two forms, and the reduced glutathione is the majority under physiological conditions.
Glutathione plays an important role in the biochemical defense system of the human body, with various physiological functions, mainly anti-free radicals, anti-aging, anti-oxidation, can eliminate free radicals, can play a strong protective role and improve human immunity.
It has a strong protective effect on the symptoms of leukopenia caused by radiation and radiopharmology, and can be combined with toxic compounds, heavy metal ions or carcinogens that enter the human body, and promote their discharge from the body, and play a neutralizing and detoxification role.
Glutathione can prevent the oxidation of hemoglobin, protect the -SH group in the mercaptoenzyme molecule, which is conducive to the play of enzyme activity, and can restore the activity function of the -SH group in the enzyme molecule that has been destroyed, so that the enzyme can restore the activity, which can effectively inhibit the fatty liver caused by alcohol invasion of the liver.
Glutathione can be used as the main ingredient in the treatment of cataracts, and studies have shown that some pregnant women are weak and lack protein, mainly glutathione.
Glutathione industry current status analysis
