Functions and role of glutathione

According to virologist introduced, virus can through using patient's DNA gene replication system to replicate itself. If the body's immune system is strong, even if infected with virus, it also can reduce the virus’ damage to a minimum. 

Glutathione supplier recently recommended a number of ways to enhance immune function

within a relatively short period. In addition to general surgery, it also

referred that supply 50 mg glutathione a day is good for quickly enhancing the

body immunity.

Glutathione is using natural yeast extracts as the

main raw material, from glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine peptide bonds

through condensation, with high nutritional value, have hepatoprotective,

antioxidant effects, rich in amino acids, peptide, vitamins, trace elements. Glutathione

is widespread in the organism of plants and the clamshell type, garlic and

seafood rich in glutathione, which is probably the reason why the North,

coastal people have better physique.

Glutathione’s other function is even more

impressive, can effectively improve the activity of brain cells. Animal’s liver

is a good brain healthy product, a large part of the reason is that it contains

a wealth of glutathione. More and more scientific clinical experiments have

shown that after the body’s glutathione increase, it is good for digestive

system, respiratory system, metabolism and so on. United States leading medical

experts predicted: "glutathione would quickly like the cholesterol becames

one of the indicators to measure health". Although glutathione is widely

used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics material, but its extraction is difficult, thus the price is very expensive,

is mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Currently, glutathione and yeast extract powder have

a lot of demand in food, feed processing agents, so that in strengthening the

bread’s flavor is also reflected in a number of ways. First, the yeast extract rich

in glutathione is a high quality nutritious fresh-increasing agent and flavor

enhancer, have increase fresh effects on bread. Especially

when flavor nucleotides and glutathione mixed together have a strong flavor of

meat. Second, yeast extracts containing glutathione have reduction effect, can

shorten the dough kneading time, even after the kneading, save a certain amount

of time will not affect thawing after fermentation, so that produce good

quality bread. Used in bread recipe can increase bread soft and elastic bread

baking. Third, add glutathione in flour product processing can reduce surface

water usage, improve the rheological properties of dough, large-scale

controlled viscosity of dough, reduce dough strength and make it easy to mixing

and extrusion, and may shorten the drying time. In addition, also have the role

of maintaining the product's existing color, can effectively prevent the

enzymatic and non-enzymatic browning, inhibit amino acid and glucose produces

colored and harmful substances under heating.

Glutathione chemical name:

n-(N-L-r-Glutamyl-L-cysteninyl) glycine. Can be divided into reduced

glutathione and oxidized glutathione. Commonly glutathione was referred to as

reduced glutathione, is a tripeptide composed by r-glutamic acid, cysteine,

glycine. Glutathione is the body's major active substance, it has free radical

scavenging, detoxification, promotes iron absorption and maintaining red blood

cell membrane integrity, maintaining normal DNA biosynthesis, cell growth and

cell-mediated immunity and other physiological functions.
