Basic information of L-glutathione
L-glutathione powder 99% is a cosmetic-grade product. It has good water solubility and is very convenient for formulating into various cosmetics. Glutathione, referred to as GSH, can also be called reduced glutathione. It is mainly a substance obtained by combining three components of glutamic acid, cysteine , and glycine. It exists in almost every human body. In a cell, of course, it also exists widely in animals and plants, such as wheat germ, radish, cherry tomatoes, animal liver, etc., and it also exists in microorganisms.
At present, the primary preparation method of glutathione is to extract it by enzymatic synthesis. The substance extracted by this method has a very high purity and excellent water solubility. L-glutathione is an active polypeptide with a variety of physiological functions, so it is widely used in the cosmetic industry.
The extraction method of glutathione
There are four main extraction methods, namely the enzyme synthesis method, solvent extraction method, chemical synthesis method, and fermentation method. Let me describe the operation steps and advantages and disadvantages of these extraction methods in detail.
method | Simple steps | Advantages and disadvantages | Purity | Pollution |
Enzymatic synthesis | This method mainly uses L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine as the basic raw materials, plus glutathione in the organism to synthesize the required enzymes, and then add a small amount of ATP or ADP to Get what you want. | Its advantages are fast response, high sensitivity and clear process, but the disadvantage is that the cost is too high. | high | light |
solvent extraction | The uses wheat germ and yeast as raw materials to react, and then through a series of separation and purification steps, the substance is finally made. | The disadvantage is that the process is relatively simple and backward, the production scale is small, and the output is still low, but its cost is relatively low. | higher | light |
chemical synthesis | The three components of cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine are reacted to make L-glutathione. | This method is not recommended because of its many reaction steps, long time, complicated operation, and high cost. | Low | Heavy |
Fermentation | Its primary raw material is sugar, which takes a certain amount of raw material. It then uses the metabolism of microorganisms in the body to convert it into glutathione. | Its extraction method is optimal because its reaction conditions are exceptionally mild, its speed is fast, and its cost is low. | not tall | light |
Which is better, glutathione or reduced glutathione?
Both glutathione and reduced glutathione have specific effects on improving skin problems. For example, in daily life, if the skin has symptoms of varying degrees, such as dull skin, yellowing, dryness, tightness, etc., it can be improved with L-glutathione; not only that, in addition to improving the skin, it can also quickly replenish collagen to the skin, make the skin firmer, and make people look younger. So, in general, both have their own benefits, and both are beneficial to the skin.

8. L-glutathione powder 99% has an excellent antioxidant effect, which can effectively remove free radicals.
9. It can be added to formulas of skin care products such as creams, masks, eye creams, essences, moisturizing lotions, facial cleansers, skin creams, massage creams, etc. The general dosage is 0.5-2%.

Comparison of reduced glutathione and oxidized glutathione
Reduced Glutathione (GSH) | Oxidized Glutathione (GSSG) | |
state | active state | inactive state |
% of glutathione | More than 95% | about 1% |
effect | skincare | / |
use | cosmetic | / |
Contact | Reduced glutathione can synthesize oxidized glutathione, because the proportion of oxidized glutathione is small, the physiological activity is low, and it does not play a role in the body, so generally, the prominent role in the body is reduced glutathione. | |
