Glutathione is a tripeptide antioxidant produced by our bodies that plays a really important role in protecting our proteins and DNA from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress
This property has supported its use in epigenetic and gene-regulation research , rather than as a general signaling peptide acting at surface receptors
Also, these findings in healthy adults are unable to be generalized to individuals with acute or chronic health conditions associated with reduced glutathione status, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, cancer, HIV/AIDS, pulmonary disease, and/or acute infection
