Glutathione is a triplet* that is made in the liver and other cells.
Since glutathione works to remove rust (antioxidation) from the body, it is drawing attention as an anti-aging (anti-aging) effect and a radiation damage prevention effect.
*Tripeptide is a chain of 3 amino acids.
Glutathione ingredients
Glutathione is made up of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine.
Glutathione distribution
Glutathione is present in most cells * in the body.
* A cell is the smallest unit that makes the body of a living thing.
Glutathione absorption
Glutathione is a combination of amino acids.
Glutathione is not all, but it is known that glutathione is absorbed as it is and exerts its effect. In the past, it was thought that even if glutathione was taken by mouth, it would be broken down into the smallest amino acids and then absorbed.
How glutathione works
Glutathione has many functions, but plays a major role in antioxidants. The main functions of glutathione are as follows.
Maintaining homeostasis
Intracellular reducing agent
Reduction of hydrogen peroxide (detoxification)
Reduction of oxidized ascorbic acid
Detoxification of drugs/foreign substances
Coenzyme of enzyme
Glutathione effect
Glutathione is expected to have the following effects.
Aging prevention
Alcoholic fatty liver prevention
Prevention of liver dysfunction
Radiation hazard prevention
Cataract progression prevention, etc.
Glutathione and Vitamin C
Glutathione restores tired vitamin C (oxidized vitamin C) to its original shape (reduced vitamin C) by removing rust.
Whitening and glutathione
It became a boom White skin. Glutathione is also said to be associated with whitening. Glutathione is said to have the effect of suppressing the black pigment melanin produced by sunburn.
Hangover and glutathione
Hangover after drinking too much. Glutathione detoxifies the poison (acetaldehyde) that causes hangovers after drinking alcohol.
Aging prevention and glutathione
Although the mechanism of aging is still unknown, it is a strong theory that the key to preventing aging (anti-aging) is how to prevent body rust (oxidation in the body).
It is said that glutathione is effective in preventing aging and removing body rust. Glutathione is produced in the body, but it is known that it decreases with age. There is an opinion that this may lead to aging.
Glutathione-rich foods
Glutathione is found in many foods such as meat and yeast. The foods that are high in glutathione are: The amount of glutathione also changes depending on the freshness of food and cooking.
