Glutathione facts

• Glutathione is a tripeptide, made up of three amino acids
• Glutathione functions as a building block of protein in the body

Glutathione is not an amino acid as such, it is actually a compound which is created when three other amino acids join together. The three amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. Glutamine is also known as gamma-glutamylcysteinylglycine or GSH.

Glutathione, just like all the other amino acids, is one of the building blocks of all proteins in the body, which not only include muscles, but also all the other proteins required for normal function of the body.
