Introduction of Reduced Glutathione

Reduced glutathione is a tri-peptide molecule consisting of glutamate, cysteine and glycine.

As a matter of fact, it is the most abundant low-molecular-weight thiol-containing molecule in the cell.

Wide existence in nature

Reduced glutathione exists in mammals, plants and microorganism extensively. It exists in human body with a balance between
its reduced form (GSH), and its oxidized form (GSSG) – a disulfide. In tissue, the ratio of GSH vs. GSSG is normally 99 to 1, but in
blood plasma the ratio is about 1 to 6.

Lyophilized powder for injection of GSH was first imported to China in 1986. Since then, the market demand for Glutathione has been increasing steadily. In 1996, YaoPharma became the first company to develop Glutathione in China, and was able to obtain the approval of CFDA within 3 years.
