Glutathione
An endogenous antioxidant tripeptide studied for oxidative stress, detoxification, and redox signaling research.
Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is an endogenous thiol tripeptide and a central reference compound in oxidative-stress, redox-signaling and glutathione-peroxidase research.
Body's master antioxidant
Research shows oxidative stress reduction

- Mechanism
Scientific Mechanism
This class of compounds targets mitochondrial function, oxidative stress pathways, and cellular senescence markers. Mechanisms studied include mitochondrial membrane stabilization, sirtuin-pathway activation via NAD+ availability, and telomerase-related signaling — all active areas of longevity and cellular-aging research.
