Aside from protecting cells from damage due to excessive oxygen or nitrogen radicals, glutathione plays a number of other key roles, including (1) : Detoxification of toxic compounds Facilitating plasma membrane transport of toxic substances for elimination Scavenging oxygen and nitrogen oxidants Recycling and regenerating other antioxidants (vitamins C and E) Removing heavy metals Regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis Supporting mitochondrial function and maintaining the health of mitochondrial DNA Without sufficient glutathione production or intake, low glutathione status can contribute to the development or worsening of various disease states, some of which include (2, 3) : Premature aging Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimers, Parkinsons) Cancer Diabetes HIV/AIDS Autoimmunity Infertility Mental health disorders Its a little nutrient that plays a big role, so supporting it in any way you can is critical to maintaining health and preventing chronic disease development

Introduction Glutathione is often referred to as the master antioxidant due to its critical role in maintaining cellular health and detoxification processes within the body
(4) The researchers reported, " On days 6, 10, and 13, tripeptide-copper complex-treated wounds contained significantly lower concentrations of TNF-alpha and MMP-2 and MMP-9 than control wounds
It has antimicrobial, emollient, skin conditioning, and antioxidant properties
GSH, in its reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms, plays a critical role in oxidative stress regulation and detoxification (McBean, 2017)
