Importance
Since its most important biochemical functions occur inside the cell, and the direct utilization of exogenous glutathione within cells is limited, effective activity depends on Endogenous (naturally produced) Glutathione.
Endogenous Glutathione is widely referenced, yet often misunderstood. Its most important biochemical functions occur inside the cell, where it must be produced endogenously (naturally within the body) to be utilized.
Endogenous Glutathione production is governed by cysteine, the rate-limiting amino acid, making intracellular delivery of cysteine essential to determining glutathione levels.
Although exogenous glutathione may circulate in the bloodstream, its direct utilization within cells is limited.
Endogenous Glutathione function is ultimately dependent on production inside the cell.
Endogenous Glutathione depletion is associated with oxidative stress, which may affect normal cellular processes.
