What is glutathione made from?

I ever read in website about Glutathione. Glutathione is found in almost all fruits and vegetables. Acorn squash, asparagus, avocado, cantaloupe, grapefruit, okra, orange, peach, potato, spinach, strawberries, tomato, watermelon, and zucchini are all good sources of GSH. Some vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, and parsley, not only provide GSH, but also actually stimulate the body produce more of this powerful antioxidant. Cooking destroys a lot of the glutathione in fresh fruits and vegetables, so you can get the most GSH from these foods by eating them raw or steamed. Eating foods high in glutamine, such as lean meats, eggs, wheat germ, and whole grains, can also stimulate the liver to produce more GSH.

I see some information for the website, it is quite interesting. I would like to share about it. Glutathione is made naturally in the body from three amino acids: glycine, cysteine, and glutamate. Both glycine and glutamate are naturally found at plentiful levels in the human body. Cysteine, however, is always the limiting reactant in your body's glutathione production process. Cysteine is found in the body at lower levels than glycine and glutamate because, unlike the other two, cysteine is not commonly found in foods. In fact, glutathione itself isn't found in any foods. Also, your body runs out of cysteine much faster than it runs out of either glycine or glutamate. The only way to increase cysteine levels and, more importantly, glutathione levels is to take either glutathione supplements, cysteine supplements, or both. Let's start with the cysteine supplementation method. The production of glutathione proceeds as follows: glycine + glutamate + cysteine = glutathione. Glutathione (GSH) is the body's own health 'AID to Energy'โ€“ Antioxidant, Immune Booster, Detoxifier and Energy enhancer. This small protein, produced naturally in the body, supports these four crucial functions. In fact, your life depends upon glutathione. Without it, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to bacteria, viruses and cancer, and your liver would cease functioning from the accumulation of toxins.

Differently, I think glutathione made from wrong thinking of human.
It comes from people who don't be pleased with their body.
Many people want to be whiter even though they get the best skin.
They think they would be more beautiful with very fair skin.
They are going to be wrong.
So, the scientists try to make something to make people whiter.
Now, we got people with a lot of glutathione.

Glutathione is actually a tripeptide made up the amino acids gamma-glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. The primary biological function of glutathione is to act as a non-enzymatic reducing agent to help keep cysteine thiol side chains in a reduced state on the surface of proteins. Glutathione is also used to prevent oxidative stress in most cells and helps to trap free radicals that can damage DNA and RNA. There is a direct correlation with the speed of aging and the reduction of glutathione concentrations in intracellular fluids. As individuals grow older, glutathione levels drop, and the ability to detoxify free radicals decreases. Glutathione is a small molecule found in almost every cell. It cannot enter most cells directly and therefore must be made inside the cell, from its three constituent amino acids: glycine, glutamate and cysteine. The rate at which glutathione can be made depends on the availability of cysteine, which is relatively scarce in foodstuffs. I know this information from website.

Glutathione (GSH) is a small protein produced naturally in our cells. It is a major defense system against illness and aging as it functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin. Our glutathione level can indicate our state of health and predict longevity.

Glutathione is a very interesting, very small molecule that's [produced by the body and] found in every cell. Glutathione is a substance naturally produced by the human body through the synthesis of certain amino acids in the liver. It's also used by virtually every cell of the body to neutralize toxins. Since glutathione is composed of three amino acids, namely gamma-glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, it is classified as a tripeptide. However, unlike some other tripeptides, it possesses a unique peptide linking structure within the cysteine and glutamate chain. The thiol group in the former allows the molecule to provide what is known as a reducing equivalent, which means the ability to donate one electron to other molecules rendered unstable and highly reactive due to a lack of balanced electron pairs. For this reason, this form is called reduced glutathione (GHS).
The majority of this substance found in the cells and tissue of the body is in the GHS state. However, as electron donation continues, GHS molecules also become unstable due to unpaired electrons and eventually bind to a fellow molecule to create an oxidized form, or glutathione disulfide (GSSG). Of total glutathione concentration in the body, only 10% resides as GSSG.

Glutathione is commonly taken in pill form, and Glutathione pills are hugely successful in Japan, particularly for women that just want to have lighter skin than they were born with without the side effects that some topical treatments have.
It can also be taken via intravenous injection, though you’ll need to visit your dermatologist to have this procedure done. While many dermatologists recommend Glutathione injections because they get 100-percent of the dose into your bloodstream, regular injections can be expensive.
In many cases, people that get Glutathione injections will need to make about 15 trips to the dermatologist to get injections. While it might be more work to go to the dermatologist’s office on a regular basis, Glutathione injections are highly effective.
