Glutathione 250 mg – 60 capsules

Glutathione 250 mg — 60 capsules. Reduced glutathione supplied as 60 capsules, each containing 250 mg of L-glutathione. Glutathione is a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine and the principal low-molecular-weight thiol found inside cells. FOOD SUPPLEMENT · Not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of small children. Form Capsules Content per Capsule 250 mg reduced L-glutathione Total per Bottle 60 capsules (15 g total) Structure Tripeptide — γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine Molecular Formula C₁₀H₁₇N₃O₆S Molecular Weight ≈ 307.32 g/mol CAS Number 70-18-8 (reduced form) Packaging Sealed bottle with tamper-evident closure Storage Store at room temperature, dry, protected from light Overview Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide formed by an atypical γ-peptide bond between the side chain of glutamate and cysteine, followed by a standard bond to glycine. The free thiol group on the cysteine residue makes it the central redox buffer of the cell. It also acts as a cofactor for glutathione S-transferases in conjugation reactions and takes part in reversible protein S-glutathionylation. This product contains the reduced form; the oxidised form (GSSG) is a different compound. This description is informational only and does not imply any health effect. Associated Areas Cellular Redox Balance — The ratio between reduced and oxidised glutathione is used in research as a measure of redox state. Conjugation Pathways — Acts as the endogenous nucleophile in glutathione S-transferase-mediated reactions. Enzyme Systems — Serves as substrate for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. Redox Signalling — Involved in reversible modification of protein cysteine residues.
