Is L-glutathione Powder Good For Your Skin?

L-glutathione has a certain water solubility and is produced by oxidizing glutathione. Glutathione is a small molecule peptide substance that the human body has. It is widely present in human cells. It is a tripeptide compound formed by the condensation of glutamic acid, cysteine ​​and glycine through peptide bonds. It is the most important low-molecular thiol in mammalian cells to resist oxidative stress. It is oxidized to oxidized glutathione and is widely present in baker's yeast, wheat germ, animal liver, chicken blood, pig blood, tomatoes, pineapples, and cucumbers. Among them, wheat germ and animal liver are the highest, with a content of up to 100-1000mg/100g.

Glutathione is a major antioxidant and detoxifier in cells with good biological activity. It has good antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects in the body and is widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields. The discovery of its anti-melanin production properties has also prompted it to become a whitening agent.

What are the benefits of L-glutathione?

Antioxidant: It can help remove free radicals in the body, protect the sulfhydryl groups in many proteins and enzymes, and protect cells from oxidative damage.

Delaying aging: It helps to remove free radicals in the body and reduce the damage of free radicals to cells, thereby delaying the aging process.

Enhancing immunity: It also plays an important role in maintaining the function of the immune system. Proper supplementation of glutathione can enhance the body's immunity.

Protecting the liver: It can help the liver detoxify, regulate liver function, and reduce the occurrence of liver disease. When the liver is damaged, it promotes the regeneration and repair of liver cells and accelerates the recovery of damaged liver tissue. In addition, it can also promote the activity of liver detoxification enzymes, accelerate the metabolism and excretion of toxic substances, and reduce the burden on the liver.

Improving cardiovascular health: It can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides, thereby improving cardiovascular health. This helps prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction.

Whitening principle

Inhibit tyrosinase activity: It can directly inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, reduce the formation of melanin, and thus help whiten the skin.

Scavenging free radicals: It has strong antioxidant capacity and can scavenge free radicals in the body. By scavenging free radicals, it helps maintain skin health and reduce the formation of melanin.

Inhibit melanin formation: By inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, the production of melanin is reduced. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin synthesis. It can directly inhibit tyrosinase through thiol chelated copper sites, interfere with the cell transfer of tyrosinase to premelanosomes, and indirectly inhibit tyrosinase through its antioxidant effect.

Promote melanin decomposition: It can promote the decomposition of formed melanin and further reduce the melanin content in the skin.

Regulate peroxyl free radicals: It can regulate the level of peroxyl free radicals, which are closely related to the formation of melanin. By regulating these free radicals, it helps to control the production of melanin, thereby achieving a whitening effect.

Reduce the stimulation of ultraviolet rays on melanocytes: It has the ability to remove reactive oxygen species produced in epidermal cells induced by ultraviolet radiation, thereby effectively reducing the stimulation of ultraviolet rays on melanocytes. This helps prevent the increase in melanin production caused by UV rays, further maintaining the skin's fair complexion.

How to use?

Medical field

It is widely used in clinical drugs to treat a variety of diseases, including hepatitis, hemolytic diseases, keratitis, cataracts and retinal diseases.

Food field

It can be used as a food additive and added to food to extend the shelf life and enhance the flavor. For example, it can be added to meat and seafood to effectively inhibit the decomposition of its nucleic acid, enhance the flavor and extend the shelf life of the food. In alcoholic beverages, it protects the aroma components of the wine and helps to extend the storage period of the wine.

Cosmetics

In cosmetics, it is used to prevent the penetration of tyrosinase, thereby inhibiting the formation of melanin, increasing skin elasticity, shrinking pores, lightening pigments, improving skin antioxidant capacity and making the skin shiny.

Feed additives

It can be used as a feed additive to effectively promote the growth of livestock and poultry, improve feed conversion rate, and enhance the tenderness and water-binding capacity of meat.
