Glutathione is a particulate tripeptide, naturally occurring in the cells of the human body, acting as the main antioxidant. In terms of structure, it contains amino acid residues of cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. The g-glutamyl bond occurring between glutamic acid and cysteine, ​​and the thiol group are of key importance for the biological activity of this compound.

In response to a problem with the absorption of glutathione ingested orally, the Japanese company, Kohjin Life Science Co. Ltd., designed OPITAC™ Glutathione, which is characterized by high assimilability and excellent bioavailability. It has been registered and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and obtained a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status.

Reduced glutathione is a key element of the antioxidant defense. It provides cells with effective protection against the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species. Besides, it can regenerate other oxidized antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E.

Reduced glutathione plays an important role in the detoxification process. It allows to eliminate harmful nitrosamines, nitrogen compounds and halogenated toxins from the body; it can neutralize pesticides and heavy metals.

Reduced glutathione shows anti-aging effects. Studies have shown that it has an impact on the process that determines skin aging (melanogenesis) and the age-related deposition of lipofuscin. People supplementing glutathione often observe the lightening of their complexion and improvement of skin condition.

Reduced glutathione may help to improve athletic performance. It effectively reduces the excess of reactive oxygen species that arise during intense physical exertion. Besides, it promotes the stabilization of lysosomal membranes and may limit the production of catabolic lysosomal enzymes

To sum up, Jarrow Formulas Glutathione Reduced is a supplement that allows for increasing glutathione levels in the system. This is important for protecting cells against oxidative stress and efficient detoxification of the body.
