Glutathione as antiaging agent

Glutathione, also known as  penny stocks, is a small protein consisting of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glyceine. It is used to prevent oxidative stress in most cells. This is a powerful antioxidant and detoxifies harmful compounds in the liver, which is then excreted through the bile. The liver also excretes glutathione directly into the bloodstream, where it was used to help maintain the integrity of red blood cells, and protecting of white blood cells. That is why if there are supplements that you refer to as Brain Food, Glutathione is the Heart Food. It is also used to prevent oxidative stress in most cells and help to trap free radicals that can damage DNA and RNA.
Research has found that as we age, glutathione levels drop. Low means less protection from diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease that develops when the body has adequate antioxidant protection. Given this danger, the supplement of glutathione is a must.
One of the companies that develop products with glutathione as an antioxidant is OXIS International, Inc. BXT-51072 is one of OXIS lead compound. It is  is a low molecular weight, orally active, organoselenium catalytic mimic of one of the major cellular protective antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) which uses glutathione as substrate.
