Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine.  It is one of the body’s primary endogenous antioxidants and is widely studied for its role in maintaining cellular redox balance, supporting detoxification pathways, and protecting cells from oxidative stress and metabolic damage.

Glutathione supports research into cellular resilience, detoxification processes, immune function, and redox biology, making it a foundational molecule in studies of oxidative stress modulation and cellular health.
