Glutathione (GSH) is a critical endogenous tripeptide composed of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. This powerful antioxidant plays a fundamental role in cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress and free radical damage.

Biological Significance
In biological systems, glutathione exists primarily in its reduced form (GSH) and serves multiple critical functions:
Neutralization of reactive oxygen species and free radicals
Detoxification of xenobiotics and heavy metals
Maintenance of cellular redox homeostasis
Regulation of protein function through thiol modifications
Support for immune system function
Regeneration of other antioxidants (vitamins C and E) Wikipedia + 2
