Glutathione Q&A

by: GSHWORLD time: 2025-04-25 classify: Product News

 

Glutathione is a tripeptide compound composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, and it is widely found in the cells of animals, plants, and microorganisms. It acts like an "antioxidant guardian" within cells, protecting them from oxidative damage. It can not only neutralize free radicals but also maintain the redox balance inside cells, allowing cells to carry out various life activities normally, such as protein synthesis and DNA repair.


Why is glutathione so popular?


1. Why is glutathione so popular?

Glutathione has garnered widespread attention because of its broad applications in medicine, health care, food, and cosmetics. In medicine, it is a renowned liver-protecting agent that helps the liver detoxify and combat diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. In terms of beauty and skincare, glutathione can whiten the skin and inhibit the production of melanin. Additionally, it can delay aging by eliminating free radicals, often referred to as "cellular waste," thereby maintaining youthful vitality in the body.


2. Does glutathione really whiten the skin?

Numerous clinical studies have shown that glutathione has significant effects on skin whitening. For example, one study found that after using skincare products containing glutathione, the skin tone of participants improved noticeably, and the melanin content decreased significantly. Another study revealed that oral glutathione supplements could also significantly enhance the luster and elasticity of the skin.

It is important to note that the skin-whitening effects of glutathione vary from person to person. Different individuals' skin types, lifestyles, and genetic factors can all influence the effectiveness of glutathione.


What role does glutathione play in food?


3. What role does glutathione play in food?

Glutathione is a "jack-of-all-trades" in the food industry. It has antioxidant properties that prevent food from oxidizing and spoiling. For instance, adding glutathione to fruit cans can prevent browning of the fruit, making the canned fruit look as appealing as fresh fruit. In meat products, glutathione can enhance the flavor of meat, making it more delicious. Moreover, glutathione can improve the texture and mouthfeel of food. For example, adding glutathione to bread dough can make the dough easier to knead and result in a softer and more palatable baked bread.

In recent years, the application of reduced glutathione in wine making has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers both domestically and internationally. Moderate addition of glutathione can significantly improve the quality of wine, especially white wine.


4. How is glutathione produced?

The main methods for producing glutathione include chemical synthesis, extraction, enzymatic methods, and fermentation. In recent years, the technology for producing glutathione using enzymatic methods has been continuously improved and has gradually begun large-scale production. The "Enzymatic synthesis coupled with ATP regeneration technology" platform established by GSH BIO-TECH has achieved low-carbon production of reduced glutathione, with an annual production capacity reaching 1,000 tons.


As people's concern for health continues to grow, the market demand for glutathione is also increasing. In the future, the application fields of glutathione may be further expanded, such as playing a greater role in personalized medicine and precision nutrition.


At the same time, we are constantly exploring more efficient and environmentally friendly production methods to enable glutathione to shine in the health field at a lower cost and higher quality, bringing more health and vitality to people.
