Description: S-Acetyl-L-glutathione is a glutathione derivative that increases intracellular glutathione like a prodrug. It can be used to supplement the depletion of reduced glutathione that occurs during HIV infection and to inhibit HIV replication. However, it has been found to selectively induce apoptosis in human lymphoma cells Daudi, Raji and Jurkat by depleting rather than increasing intracellular glutathione levels.

Function：Uses S-acetyl L-glutathione is used for the treatment of cataracts, glaucoma, prevention of aging, treatment or prevention of alcoholism, asthma, cancer, heart disease (atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia), hepatitis, liver disease, immunosuppression (including AIDS and chronic fatigue syndrome), maintenance of immune function, memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, osteoarthritis, Parkinson's disease, autism spectrum disorders, metal and drug detoxification, cystic fibrosis, prevention of chemotherapy toxicity, treatment of male infertility, prevention of anemia in hemodialysis patients, prevention of post-coronary artery surgery renal insufficiency bypass surgery, shown to selectively induce apoptosis (cell death) in human lymphoma cancer cells.
