Glutathione is a tripeptide compound formed by condensation of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine through peptide bond. Glutathione is the most important low molecular mercaptan to resist oxidative stress in mammalian cells. In 1921 was discovered,1930 to determine the chemical structure, the famous American nutrition and health care expert Dr. Al Mindel called glutathione for three times the efficacy of anti-aging amino acids, also known as the antioxidant master of nature, the appearance of colorless transparent slender granular crystals.Its aqueous solution is easily oxidized to oxidized glutathione in the air, which is widely present in bread yeast, wheat germ, animal liver, chicken blood, pig blood, tomato, pineapple, cucumber, among which wheat germ and animal liver are the highest, the content is as high as 100-1000mg /100g. It has the functions of anti-oxidation, scavenging free radicals, detoxification, enhancing immunity, delaying aging, anti-cancer and anti-radiation harm. It also helps white blood cells kill bacteria, prevent the oxidation of vitamins C and E, and prevent stroke and cataract formation. In addition, glutathione has the effect of binding carcinogens and excreting them through the urine.

The liver is the most important detoxification organ in human body, and its rich glutathione (GSH) plays a protective role in liver synthesis, detoxification and estrogen inactivation. It is the body's primary antioxidant to counteract damage from free radicals, which are contributing factors to aging and disease. When the liver is damaged, such as with various liver diseases, the body will consume a large amount of GSH to help the injured liver to repair itself and detoxify, resulting in a significant reduction in glutathione in the body. At this time, we need to take some glutathione drugs, which help the injured liver to repair itself. Therefore, glutathione drugs are suitable for viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, etc.), alcoholic liver disease, drug liver disease, fatty liver disease and other liver diseases, and are liver protection medicines for liver disease patients.

Glutathione (GSH) is named Reduced glutathione or L-GlutathioneReduced ,an important antioxidant in plants, animals, fungi, and some bacteria and archaea,a white crystalline powder. It is atripeptide with a gamma peptide linkage between the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain and the amine group of cysteine, and the carboxyl group of cysteine is attached by normal peptide linkage to a glycine.Thiol groups are reducing agents, existing at a concentration around 5 mM in animal cells. Glutathione reduces disulfide bonds formed within cytoplasmicproteins to cysteines by serving as an electron donor. In the process, glutathione is converted to its oxidized form, glutathione disulfide (GSSG), also called L-glutathione.

(1) added to pasta, to make manufacturers reduce the time of bread to the original one-half or one third, and serve to strengthen the role of food nutrition and other features.
(2) to add to the yogurt and baby food, the equivalent of vitamin C, can play a stabilizing agent.

1. Glutathione prevention effect Exogenous GSH supplement can prevent related diseases, maintain a healthy body. 2.Anti-oxidize
effect As an important antioxidant in the body, glutathione can remove free radicals in the body. 3.Food additives A. glutathione not only shortens the time for making bread, but also strengthening food nutrition.
B. Add it to yogurt and baby food,equivalent to vitamin C, which can act as a stabilizer.
C. Mix it into the fish cake to prevent the color from deepening.
D.Adding to meat products and cheese and other foods has the effect of enhancing flavor.
