Glutathione is a tripeptide that your body can manufacture from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. However, it’s not easy for your body to make glutathione. Once made, it gets used up very quickly to assist in the regulation of two things: free radicals and toxins. Glutathione oxidizes quickly when neutralizing free radicals. After it donates electrons, it must be recycled back into the reduced form to be used again. When glutathione clears toxins from the body, it is also excreted. This can lead to lower cellular levels of this vital compound. With constant exposure to pollutants and stress from modern living, glutathione levels are often depleted.†
You can take the weight off of your body’s own glutathione production by supplementing. However, many forms of glutathione are not bioavailable.†
Optimal Liposomal Glutathione Plus features glutathione in the reduced form (GSH). In the body, glutathione is present in two forms: reduced and oxidized. The active or reduced form is what acts as your master antioxidant.†
The body is able to recycle glutathione to be used over and over. Optimal Liposomal Glutathione Plus provides the reduced form of glutathione plus recycling nutrients. It is designed to help you maintain optimal levels of glutathione by supporting glutathione recycling.†
The natural production of glutathione produces reactive oxygen species. Helping your body recycle glutathione also reduces excess oxidation associated with glutathione production.†
In order for your body to recycle glutathione, it requires specific nutrients. These are used as cofactors by enzymes in your glutathione recycling pathway as seen on the StrateGene® Report.†
Optimal Liposomal Glutathione Plus contains the nutrient cofactors needed to recycle glutathione.†
- Riboflavin (cofactor for the GSR enzyme, glutathione reductase)
- Selenium (cofactor for the GPX enzyme, glutathione peroxidase)
- Molybdenum (cofactor involved in sulfite-sulfate conversion)
- PQQ (for additional protection against oxidative stress that is produced during enzymatic processes)
Glutathione is a fragile molecule. When taken orally, it can be damaged from stomach acid, intestinal microbes, free radicals, and digestive enzymes.†
Optimal Liposomal Glutathione Plus utilizes a soy-free liposomal delivery system. This protects fragile glutathione through your GI tract to enhance delivery to your cells.†
Liposomal glutathione protects glutathione by encasing it inside lipid droplets. Liposomes are tiny phospholipid vesicles that mimic our own cell membranes. Encasing glutathione in liposomes shields it from the digestive process. This greatly enhances bioavailability, absorption, and cellular uptake.†
Liposomal delivery protects fragile glutathione from:†
- Stomach acid
- Digestive enzymes
- Intestinal microbes
- Free radical damage
Many liposomal formulas are derived from soy. Optimal Liposomal Glutathione Plus is soy-free. It is made from a phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine complex. These non-hydrogenated phospholipids come from GMO-free sunflower oil.
There can be multiple potential blocks in the effectiveness of glutathione supplementation. Glutathione is a vulnerable, unstable nutrient. In supplement form, it can oxidize (degrade) quickly. Your stomach acid can destroy fragile glutathione before it gets absorbed. Moreover, most glutathione pills are not bioavailable. Optimal Liposomal Glutathione Plus addresses these concerns in one easy-to-take liquid supplement.†
Popular with detoxification and MTHFR protocols, Optimal Liposomal Glutathione Plus is a great option for anyone looking to optimize their glutathione status. Start feeling vibrant today with this optimally-absorbing liposomal glutathione plus recycling nutrients!†
