Liposomal Glutathione

Description of Liposomal Glutathione

Liposomal glutathione is an advanced delivery system for the potent antioxidant glutathione, a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. Encapsulated within tiny lipid vesicles (liposomes), glutathione gains enhanced bioavailability when consumed orally or applied topically. This innovative formulation protects glutathione from degradation in the digestive system (oral) or on the skin’s surface (topical), ensuring optimal delivery to target cells.

Liposomes fuse with cellular membranes, facilitating efficient glutathione uptake and maximizing its antioxidant benefits. As a key intracellular antioxidant, glutathione plays a crucial role in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to various health issues. This cutting-edge technology offers a superior alternative to traditional glutathione supplements, promising improved cellular protection against oxidative stress, enhanced immune function, and potential benefits for skin health, including brightening, anti-aging, and reduced inflammation.

Key Benefits of Liposomal Glutathione

• Liposomal encapsulation achieves > 70% efficiency, delivering intact glutathione to cells with nanosized particles (< 220 nm) for enhanced mucosal permeability and intracellular uptake, including immune cells and potentially across the blood-brain barrier.
• High zeta potential ensures colloidal stability, preventing aggregation, while spherical, uniform morphology minimizes leakage (~55% free glutathione over 6 months), confirming long-term shelf stability.
• Protected from GI tract degradation, it offers faster onset of benefits due to efficient absorption, with phosphorus presence validating unique liposomal formulation.
• Thermally robust, maintaining >70% encapsulation efficiency at 105°C for 4 hours, making it ideal for transport in hot climates.

Application of Liposomal Glutathione

Pharmaceutical

• Antioxidant Therapy: Protects cells from oxidative stress in various diseases, including:
  • Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
  • Liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis)
  • Certain cancers
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Cardiovascular diseases
• Immune Support: Boosts immune function in immunocompromised individuals, those with chronic infections, and during recovery from illness.
• Anti-aging: May slow down aging processes by reducing oxidative damage to cells and tissues.
• Neuroprotection: May protect neurons from damage in neurodegenerative diseases and stroke.
• Detoxification: Supports liver detoxification and may aid in the removal of heavy metals.

Cosmetics

Used in various cosmetic products, such as creams, serums, and lotions.

• Skin Brightening:
  • Inhibits melanin production, leading to a more even skin tone.
  • Helps fade hyperpigmentation such as age spots, melasma, and freckles.
• Anti-aging:
  • Neutralizes free radicals that contribute to skin aging.
  • Stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness and reducing wrinkles.
    Helps protect against UV damage and photo aging.
• Improved Skin Texture: Reduces inflammation and promotes cell turnover, leading to smoother and more radiant skin.
• Antioxidant Protection: Provides a potent barrier against environmental stressors like pollution and smoke.

Other industries:

• Athletic Performance: Reduces exercise-induced oxidative stress and improve recovery.
• Radiation Protection: Offers some protection against radiation damage.
