S-Acetyl-L-glutathione (SAG, Acetyl glutathione) is currently widely used glutathione, which is the derivation and development of reduced glutathione. Acetylation refers to the process of transferring an acetyl group to an amino acid side chain group, and glutathione acetylation is usually the binding of an acetyl group to a reactive sulfur atom. Acetyl Glutathione is a form of glutathione that is more stable in the gut and more easily absorbed by the body than other forms on the market.
Acetyl Glutathione is able to penetrate the mitochondrial membrane, helping to maintain its integrity and function, and also cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to directly detoxify and protect the brain. Acetylated glutathione greatly improves its ability to remain intact in the gut and allows higher concentrations to be absorbed into the bloodstream for better anti-aging effects.
