Glutathione (GSH) is a critical cancer prevention agent in plants, animals, fungi, and some bacteria and archaea. Glutathione could avoid harm to vital cell parts caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides, and heavy metals. Biological scientists have int
roduced that glutathione is the best and proficient anti-oxidant. Sufficient evidence has certified that the accumulation of oxidative damage from the biochemical mechanism is closely related to aging. Glutathione depletion is directly linked to aging and high level of glutathione will diminish the rate of aging, detoxify the liver, bolster the immune system and protect body cells from free radicals.
Three Main Anti-Aging Benefits
1. Efficient anti-oxidant
GSH is utilized as a cofactor by:
(1) multiple peroxidase enzymes, to detoxify peroxides produced from oxygen radicals
(2) transhydrogenases, to decrease oxidized attack on DNA, proteins, and other cellular biomolecules
(3) glutathione S-transferases (GST) to conjugate GSH with endogenous, exogenous substances, and various xenobiotics.
2. Boosting immune system
Glutathione enhances the immune system by boosting T- and B-cells cells which are defense cells that attack any invaders in your body.
3. Detoxifier and Neutralizer
High level of glutathione exists in liver, lungs and kidneys, which organs play the major functions in eliminating the toxins, wastes and heavy metals in the body. Glutathione binds to such toxins before they’re excreted, an important step in driving them away from your body. Increasing glutathione to some extent will support the liver, lungs and kidneys in eliminating wastes, bringing beneficial effect to your body.
