Second, GSH can enhance human immunity and it has the functions of maintaining health and anti-aging. Third, GSH can protect hemoglobin (HGB) from oxidization of hydrogen peroxide and free radicals, which guarantees HGB to work normally and continually in oxygen transport. Fourth, GSH protects -SH group in enzymes, this can make for the full play of enzyme activities. GSH also can inhabit fatty liver caused by alcohol.
