Glutathione (1,500mg) | Ascension Peptides

Glutathione represents a naturally occurring tripeptide consisting of γ-glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, functioning as one of the most important cellular antioxidants and playing crucial roles in cellular protection against oxidative stress. The compound demonstrates multiple biological functions including free radical scavenging, detoxification of harmful compounds, and maintenance of cellular redox balance. Glutathione exists in both reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms, with the ratio between these forms serving as an important indicator of cellular oxidative status. The peptide functions through direct scavenging of reactive oxygen species, conjugation with toxic compounds for elimination, and regeneration of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. Research applications include investigation of oxidative stress mechanisms, cellular protection pathways, antioxidant biology, and the role of glutathione in various physiological and pathological processes.
