Glutaflex Forte Tablet

The combination of L-Gamma Glutamyl, L-Cysteinyl, and L-Glycine is commonly referred to as glutathione (GSH), a crucial tripeptide that plays vital roles in cellular processes. Here’s how it’s used:

• Antioxidant Defense: GSH is a major antioxidant that protects cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals.
• Detoxification: It helps in detoxifying harmful substances in the liver.
• Immune Function: GSH enhances the immune system’s response to infection.
• Cellular Metabolism: It’s involved in DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, and enzyme function.
• Regulation of Cell Death: GSH has a role in regulating apoptosis, preventing unnecessary cell death.

It’s synthesized in the body from its constituent amino acids: L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine, and glycine. The synthesis is a two-step process where L-Gamma Glutamyl and L-Cysteinyl form γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine, which then combines with L-Glycine to form glutathione. This process is essential for maintaining the cellular redox balance and overall health. Supplementation of these amino acids may be beneficial in conditions where glutathione levels are compromised, such as oxidative stress, aging, and certain diseases.
