Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and maintaining the overall health of the body. It is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. Found in high concentrations in various tissues, particularly in the liver, glutathione is essential for cellular detoxification, immune system function, and the maintenance of healthy cells.

One of the key functions of glutathione is its ability to neutralize free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are byproducts of cellular metabolism and external stressors such as pollution or radiation. These free radicals can cause cellular damage if not neutralized, leading to aging, inflammation, and various diseases. Glutathione works by donating electrons to these reactive molecules, rendering them harmless. This antioxidant action is crucial in preventing damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids, which can otherwise lead to chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative conditions.

In addition to its antioxidant properties, glutathione is involved in other vital processes such as detoxification. It binds to harmful substances in the liver and helps to remove them from the body through bile or urine. Glutathione levels can be influenced by factors such as diet, stress, illness, and aging. For example, the body's glutathione levels tend to decrease with age, which can contribute to a decline in immune function and an increased risk of disease. Some individuals take glutathione supplements or precursors (such as N-acetylcysteine) to help support their body’s glutathione levels, especially in cases of oxidative stress or chronic illness.
