Product Details

Description
Glutathione (GSH) is an endogenous antioxidant that plays a major role in reducing reactive oxygen species formed during cellular metabolism and the respiratory burst. Glutathione may decrease the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-18), and neutrophils in lung tissue, increase the level of serum Ca2+, and be useful for the treatment of ANP. Glutathione can be used not only as medicine but also as a base material for functional foods. It is widely used in functional foods for delaying aging, enhancing immunity, and anti-tumor. Glutathione is the main ingredient in ''whitening needle'' injections, and it is also the main ingredient in many beauty products on the market.
