For in vitro research use only. Glutathione is not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of any condition.

Glutathione is a small molecule made of three amino acids, found naturally in almost every cell in the body. It acts as one of the cell's main defences against oxidative damage — a process where unstable molecules called free radicals can harm DNA and cell structures. Studies have investigated its role in how cells produce energy and maintain their internal chemical balance.

Research overview

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant (a molecule that protects cells from damage) made up of three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It is found in virtually every mammalian cell, where it plays a central role in neutralising free radicals — unstable molecules that can damage DNA, proteins, and cell membranes. It is also essential for mitochondrial function (mitochondria are the parts of a cell that produce energy, often described as the cell's power stations) and cellular redox balance (the internal chemical balance that keeps cells functioning correctly). Research in aged animal models has documented measurable declines in glutathione levels over time, and studies have examined whether restoring those levels affects DNA repair activity and markers of oxidative stress. Glutathione is a widely used research reagent in ageing, mitochondrial biology, and cellular protection studies. For research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption.
