Glutathione (gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a peptide-like
(short-protein) molecule synthesized in the body from the three amino acids:
L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine and glycine. Glutathione is one of the body's most
important and powerful antioxidants helping to detoxify xenobiotics. A major
function of vitamin C is to keep glutathione in its reduced form so it can
continue to provide free radical-quenching affects.

L-cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid, one of only three
sulfur-containing amino acids, the others being taurine (which can be produced
from L-cysteine) and L-methionine from which L-cysteine can be produced in the
body by a multi-step process. Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle,
acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in
the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Cysteine also helps synthesize
glutathione, one of the body's most important natural detoxifiers.
