Glutathione is a natural reducing agent in the body. It can scavenge free radicals in the body, such as hydrogen peroxide, peroxide free radicals, etc.,
protect the sulfhydryl groups in proteins from oxidation, repair damaged sulfhydryl groups in proteins, and make the protein Restore active functions, prevent cell hemolysis, promote the reduction of methemoglobin, and relieve discomfort caused by hypoxemia, nausea and liver disease.
Three major applications of glutathione:
1. Liver protection:
Glutathione can be used to protect the liver and promote liver detoxification. It is often used to treat liver diseases such as alcoholism, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and fatty liver.
Long-term use of glutathione can inhibit the formation of alcoholic fatty liver.
2. Detoxification:
Glutathione has a certain detoxifying effect on the poisoning of carcinogens such as carbon monoxide, heavy metals, organic solvents, epoxy compounds, etc., and can be combined with them to be excreted from the body;
it has an effect on leukopenia caused by radiation, radioactive drugs or anti-tumor drugs. It has a protective effect; it also has a detoxifying effect on various carcinogens by helping the liver metabolize, such as aflatoxin, etc.

GSH also plays an important role in diabetic vasculopathy.
Currently, glutathione has been used to treat complications such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, and diabetic fatty liver.
GSH can also assist in the recovery of lymphocyte donors and inhibit viral replication. It is an auxiliary treatment drug for AIDS.
Glutathione for injection can also be used to reduce reactive oxygen species produced during dopamine metabolism in the substantia nigra area of the midbrain, relieving Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease in early remission.
The industrialized production of GSH has been initially realized, and it is widely used in the fields of health care products, medicines, and skin care products. Due to its diverse functions, it is involved in diverse application fields.
Currently, glutathione is mainly used in medicine, medical beauty, and health care in China. The production of food additives, plant health and beauty and health care products abroad.
