Glutathione is a small molecule peptide substance containing a thiol group, which has two important antioxidant and integrated detoxification effects. Sulfhydryl, a group of atoms composed of hydrogen and sulfur, also known as a hydrogen sulfur group.
Glutathione (especially glutathione in liver cells) has a very important physiological function of integrating detoxification. It can bind with certain drugs (such as acetaminophen), toxins (such as free radicals, heavy metals), and participate in biological transformation, thereby transforming harmful toxins in the body into harmless substances and excreting them out of the body.
Another major physiological function of glutathione is to act as an important antioxidant in the body, which can eliminate free radicals in the human body, clean and purify environmental pollution, thereby enhancing human physical and mental health.
The main functions of glutathione are
(1) Detoxification
It has detoxifying effects on acrylonitrile, fluoride, mustard gas, carbon monoxide, heavy metals, organic solvents, arsenic agents (such as traditional Chinese medicine cream, realgar, etc.), lead, mercury, sulfur, phosphorus, etc.
(2) Radiation disease and radiation protection
Used for radiation therapy, radiopharmaceuticals, or leukopenia caused by the use of tumor drugs, as well as bone marrow tissue inflammation caused by radiation.
It can improve its symptoms and has anti radiation, sun exposure and other effects. It can also be used to treat diseases such as scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and lupus erythematosus caused by radiotherapy.
(3) Protecting the liver
It can inhibit the formation of fatty liver and also improve the symptoms of toxic hepatitis and infectious hepatitis.
(4) Anti allergy
It can correct the imbalance of acetylcholine and cholinesterase, thereby eliminating allergic symptoms caused by this imbalance.
It can be used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, arthritis, etc.
(5) Improve the course and symptoms of certain diseases
It has an improvement effect on symptoms such as leukopenia, hypoxia, nausea, vomiting, and itching, as well as other symptoms caused by liver diseases.
(6) Beauty and skincare
Due to its ability to integrate free radicals, heavy metals, and other toxins inside and outside the body, glutathione prevents skin pigmentation, prevents the formation of new melanin, and reduces its oxidation. Therefore, it has good beauty, beauty, and rejuvenation effects whether used internally or externally.
(7) Improving vision and preventing ophthalmic diseases
Therefore, it can be used for keratitis, corneal trauma, etc., and can prevent the development of cataract and retinal diseases and prevent the complications of diabetes.
(8) Anti aging effect
Due to its ability to scavenge free radicals, heavy metals, and other toxins, glutathione is suitable for delaying aging and has excellent efficacy.
Due to the chemical nature of glutathione as a small molecule peptide, it easily absorbed by the skin through the cell membrane when applied topically. It is highly effective as a cosmetic for topical use, and its skincare efficacy is excellent.
Meanwhile, as a small molecule peptide, glutathione can absorbed by oral administration without digested.
Therefore, in the use of glutathione for anti-aging and beauty skincare, both oral and topical use have outstanding effects.
In short, glutathione has no side effects, takes effect quickly, and has a significant therapeutic effect. It is a promising integrated antidote.
