      Parent
      Glutathione

      Master intracellular antioxidant; oral bioavailability depends on form.

      S-Acetyl
      S-Acetyl Glutathione

      Acetylated GSH — stable through the gut and converted intracellularly to glutathione.

      Mechanism of action

      Liposome bypasses gut peptidase degradation; raises intracellular GSH.

      Pathways
      • · Phase II detoxification
      • · Redox homeostasis
