Discover mysteries of Glutathione, patron saint of life
In the vast world of life, there is a magical tripeptide compound - Glutathione (GSH), it is like a bright pearl, inset in every corner of life.
Glutathione, carefully woven from glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine, is widely found in plant and animal cells and is a precious gift given to us by nature.
As an indispensable antioxidant and antidote in the body, it has shown great application value in the fields of medicine, food and agriculture.
1. Source of glutathione
Both the gift of nature and the wisdom of man.
Naturally extracted from liver, red blood cells and crystals and other high content parts, yeast, wheat germ and animal liver are the traditional raw materials.
Artificial synthesis relies on the power of modern industry, through microbial fermentation and chemical synthesis, so that glutathione production is more considerable.
2. Physiological function of glutathione
It's even more breathtaking.
It is like a brave warrior, clearing free radicals, protecting the membrane and protein sulfhydryl groups from damage, and maintaining cell homeostasis.
At the same time, it can also combine with heavy metals, drug metabolites and environmental toxins to form water-soluble complexes and discharge from the body, showing a powerful detoxification function.
It can also promote lymphocyte proliferation, enhance immunity, participate in the process of sugar metabolism, fatty acid synthesis and protein folding, and contribute to the continuation of life.
3. In the field of medicine and health
Glutathione products come in a variety of forms, from injections to oral preparations to dietary supplements and cosmetics, and it guards our health everywhere.
Whether it is adjuvant treatment of liver disease, chemotherapy drug detoxification, or delay aging, enhance immunity, and even whitening and anti-aging, glutathione has shown excellent results.
4. Detection of glutathione
Monitoring is also crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Many detection methods, such as high performance liquid chromatography, fluorescence spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunoassay, allow us to understand the dynamic change of glutathione in vivo more accurately, and provide strong support for the prevention and treatment of diseases.
Although glutathione has great potential in disease treatment and agricultural stress resistance, its poor stability and low oral bioavailability are still urgent problems to be solved.
With the development of nano-carrier delivery system, the optimization of strains in synthetic biology and the clinical transformation of new detection technologies, it is believed that glutathione will be more widely and deeply applied in multiple fields.
