Food Grade 98% Pure L-Glutathione Powder

Food Grade 98% Pure L-Glutathione Powder

Description of Food Grade 98% Pure L-Glutathione Powder:

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide compound formed by the condensation of L-cysteine, l-glutamic acid and glycine, in which the α-amino Group of L-cysteine forms a special peptide bond with the γ-carboxyl group of glutamic acid, many of its biological functions are related to this peptide bond. Glutathione is widely distributed in animal, plant and microbial cells, among which the contents of Glutathione in animal and human viscera, wheat germ and yeast are higher, some plants, such as fruits and vegetables, grains, legumes, and tobacco, also contain Glutathione. Glutathione has many biological functions, such as detoxification, the elimination of free radicals in the body, enhance the body’s immune function, promote the absorption of amino acids, maintain the integrity of cells and inhibit HIV and other functions. In the food industry, it acts as a dietary supplement, added to foods to extend shelf life and enhance flavor and nutrition.

Properties of Food Grade 98% Pure L-Glutathione Powder:

In the signaling pathways of reactive oxygen species (Ros) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) , the Glutathione acts as a central component to regulate metabolism through the change of redox status. The redox status of sulfhydryl groups in proteins determines their biological characteristics to a great extent, and involves protein structure, enzyme catalytic activity and redox signal transduction. Glutathione are more readily oxidized than other amino acids, and their products can also be reduced by intracellular reduction systems such as Glutaredoxin (Grx) , a member of the THIOL disulfide oxidoreductase family. These characteristics suggest that Glutathione may act as a protein Posttranslational modification involved in cell signal transduction.

Applications of Food Grade 98% Pure L-Glutathione Powder in medicine:
In the structure of glutathione, there is an active sulfhydryl group attached to the cysteine side chain group, which is the structural basis of many important physiological functions of glutathione, and it can protect the sulfhydryl group of important enzyme protein in the body from oxidation and inactivation, which is beneficial to the activity of the enzyme. By combining with the free radicals in the body, the sulfhydryl group can directly reduce the free radicals into acid substances that are easy to be metabolized, accelerate the excretion of free radicals, and thereby reduce the damage of free radicals to important organs. In addition, the γ-glutamine bond in glutathione can maintain the stability of the molecule and participate in the transport of amino acids. Glycine and cysteine residues in glutathione can also participate in the metabolism of cholic acid.
