Researched for: oral glutathione and injection safety
Also known as: GSH, Reduced glutathione
Glutathione is a tripeptide (glutamate-cysteine-glycine) and the principal intracellular antioxidant, neutralizing reactive oxygen species and supporting phase II liver detoxification. Oral glutathione has limited bioavailability due to GI degradation, which has motivated research into IV administration, liposomal formulations, and precursor supplementation (N-acetylcysteine) to raise intracellular glutathione levels.
