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