Glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, is naturally produced in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant AND an antitoxin. It is also a major defense system against illness and aging. Your glutathione level indicates your state of health and can predict longevity. Glutathione has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells. For more info, see: MaxGXL |

I am looking for some one that has information on the dosage that of this glutathione that was given a couple of years ago to my sister umbrella cockatoo. for some disorder. the vet is no longer in this area and she is unable to locate her. her bird is now sick again with a liver count of 139.

Unit Error
"Thiol groups are kept in a reduced state within ~5 mM in animal cells."
This is supposed to read 5 milimoles, but the capital M denotes molar, as in moles per dm³. I will change to the correct symbol for milimoles: mmol. 82.4.43.239 01:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Health benefits, nutritional support, layman's explanation
This article needs a laymans explanation. I've heard it called the "master anti-oxidant" but I don't know why. It seems like the current article launches right into biochemistry. I would like someone to cover the various ways that Glutathione can be increased in the body by means that we can take ourselves --Rjms 11:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
glutathione (GSH) is called the master antioxidant because it replenishes the action of many other antioxidants. When vitamins C and E pick up an oxyradical they must hand it off to the GSH system so they are free to go back and get others. GSH also neutralizes peroxide and lipoic acid. In fact, all these antioxidants help to neutralize each other, and glutathione is at the center of cellular antioxidation. However please note it is glutathione not the vitamin that ultimately neutralizes the radical. For more info please contact me. www.3aminos.com

Biosynthesis by what organism
To what organism does the biosynthesis section apply? To what phylogenic branches does this extend? More specifically, do Bacteria and/or Archaea synthesize glutathione, and do they use the same pathway? Asteen 13:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
