Manjistha, also known as Rubia cordifolia, is a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. While it contains various bioactive compounds, it does not contain glutathione.
Glutathione is a tripeptide found naturally in the human body and is often promoted for its antioxidant properties. It is not a constituent of Manjistha.
However, Manjistha is known to contain other beneficial compounds, including:
- Anthraquinones: These compounds contribute to Manjistha's potential anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
- Tannins: These compounds have astringent properties and may contribute to its use in traditional medicine for skin conditions.
- Other phytochemicals: Manjistha contains various other compounds that contribute to its medicinal effects.
While Manjistha does not contain glutathione, its various other constituents may offer health benefits.
