Glutathione combines with selenium to form glutathione peroxidase to form a powerful antioxidant in the cell. The production of glutathione is the way our cells counter-balance all of the oxidative stress which occurs during normal cellular metabolism. Glutathione is also perhaps the major regulator of the release of metals, especially zinc. Reduced glutathione (GSH) mediates the transfer of zinc. Conversely, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) releases zinc to be transferred to enzymes. Glutathione has also shown to detoxify heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and many other toxic organic chemicals such as benzene.
