Whether in hepatology or oncology, it is common to see the word glutathione appear on the doctor’s prescription and the patient’s medical expenses list;
In the cosmetic beauty market, the glutathione products advertised by salesmen make women who love beauty feel overwhelmed;
Some older people people also found that their children gave their own health care products with glutathione figure.
What exactly is glutathione?
What does it do to the human body?
Glutathione is a kind of small molecule peptide substance which is widely found in human cells. It is composed of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine.
Professor Gutman of McGill University in Canada once said that GSH was only a noun in the biochemical community in the past, but I believe that this term will soon be as deeply rooted in the people as cholesterol and become one of the indicators of people’s health.
This is by no means a boast.
Numerous studies have confirmed that GSH can improve human immunity and become a “firewall” to protect human function with its strong anti-free radical ability.
Glutathione has two major roles
Let the immune cells fully activate
Human beings themselves are composed of large and small cells, it can said that the human body is a cell kingdom.
Neutrophils, phagocytes, lymphocytes, etc. constitute the immune system in the human body,
so that the human body has spontaneous immune ability, which can not only fight against the invasion of foreign pathogenic substances such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc., but also solve the abnormal physiological changes in the body,
such as the proliferation of cancer cells, so as to maintain the normal survival order and protect the health of the body.
In order to maintain the normal operation of the immune system, immune cells must fully activated and differentiated,
and glutathione just plays the role of making immune cells fully activated and differentiated.
When the concentration of GSH in the cell maintained or higher than the normal level,
it will enable the body’s various immune cells to fully activated and differentiated, thereby enhancing the body’s immunity and preventing tumors,
heart disease, premature aging, autoimmune diseases and a variety of chronic diseases.
On the contrary, if the concentration of glutathione in the cell reduced to 40%, the activity of T cells (the body’s main immune cells) will completely suppressed,
the body immune function will greatly affected, and some diseases will take the opportunity to “attack”.
The effect of glutathione on human cells can summed up in eight words: inhibit, activate, repair, and promote.
restrain
Inhibit cell changes and enhance human immunity;
Activate
Activate cell activity, enhance human immunity, activate lymphocytes, differentiate and proliferate T cells and B cells to eliminate viruses or cancer cells;
Repair
Repair human degenerative cells, stabilize the internal environment;
facilitate
Maintain, improve and promote normal cellular metabolism.
Scavenging free radicals
The human body produces a large number of free radicals every day,
and environmental factors also promote the production of free radicals in the human body.
Because the oxidation ability of free radicals is very strong, the right amount of free radicals is the guardian of the human body, can kill bacteria, viruses, decompose poisons;
Excessive free radicals will oxidize normal substances in the human body, destroy cell structure, and promote cell degeneration.
Current studies have found that free radicals are closely related to coronary heart disease, tumor, aging and other diseases.
Glutathione as an antioxidant, can remove free radicals in the human body, clean and purify the pollution of the human body environment, so as to improve people’s physical and mental health.
Glutathione is extremely “sacrificative” in the fight against oxidation.
Because reduced glutathione contains sulfyl (-SH), which itself susceptible to oxidation by some substances,
it often “sacrifices itself”, that, lets itself oxidize first, to protect the sulfyl groups in more proteins and enzymes in the body from being oxidized by harmful substances such as free radicals, so that they can better play their physiological functions.
The sulfhydryl group of the protein on the erythrocyte membrane protected, and the erythrocyte membrane remains soft, effectively preventing hemolysis;
So that the hemoglobin in the red blood cells will not lose the ability to carry oxygen due to some factors, and so on.
Glutathione, as the most abundant and most important substance in the antioxidant system of human cells,
deserves to become the main force of the body to remove free radicals, and is a “super antioxidant”.
The antioxidant system based on glutathione has become the body’s well-deserved “glutathione defense system”.
Reduced glutathione
There are two types of glutathione: reduced type and oxidized type. Under normal physiological conditions, the reduced type is the most common.
Reduced glutathione widely distributed in the cells of various organs,
plays an important role in maintaining the normal function of cells, and an active peptide with good pharmacological effects.
Oxidized glutathione has no antioxidant effect, it is the product of reduced glutathione and oxidizing agent.
Rich in glutathione precursors, clinical studies have confirmed that oral administration can safely and effectively enhance the glutathione level in human tissue cells! Thus promoting good health!
The oral administration of Yuanfu Bao can effectively increase the glutathione level in the body cells,
thereby improving the immunity, improve the ability to fight infection and disease!
