what each one is
Glutathione
Redox-active tripeptide · cellular redox research
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine (γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine) and the principal redox-active thiol found inside the cell. Verve supplies a high-purity research preparation for the study of cellular redox chemistry.
