Liposomal Glutathione
About this item
Details
Description
Considered the “master antioxidant,” glutathione has the power to help you age gracefully as well as supercharging your energy levels. Our Liposomal Glutathione plays many roles in your body, including supporting your mitochondrial function, promoting lean muscle mass, supporting athletic performance, balancing your immune and inflammatory responses and much more.*
Liposomal technology helps transport the glutathione through your digestive tract, helping it reach your small intestine cells’ membranes resulting in far more potential benefits – including enhanced absorption.
Label info
We label our supplements ‘yellow’ to identify products that align with moderately stable digestive systems that are building strength.
Our products do not contain any ingredients that are genetically modified, which are plants or animals whose structure has been changed to improve production or appearance.

FAQ
- What is the suggested use of the product?
Adults, as a dietary supplement, take two (2) capsules daily.
- When is the best time to take Liposomal Glutathione?
Your levels of glutathione fluctuate according to your circadian rhythms, or your body's internal clock, which regulates your sleep-wake cycle. During your nighttime sleep cycle, glutathione activity increases to help your body repair free radical damage.
If you have high levels of oxidative stress, you could deplete your supply of glutathione during this nighttime repair period. So, taking Liposomal Glutathione at night might help support glutathione levels during nighttime recovery.*
- What does 'Liposomal' mean?
Liposomal technology is an innovative technology that helps increase the proper absorption of supplemental nutrients by binding them to phospholipids found inside the capsule.
These phospholipids coat the nutrient to form liposomes in your stomach, which protect the nutrient and aid in its transport, carrying it through your gut lining and directly into your cells. Absorbed liposomes penetrate your cellular membranes and targeted tissues more effectively.
- How does Liposomal Glutathione compare to regular, non-liposomal glutathione?
The bioavailability of regular, non-liposomal glutathione is very low since it is susceptible to oxidation and used as a cofactor in many metabolic reactions. It's also an extremely fragile molecule that is easily degraded and destroyed by bile and stomach acid.
In contrast, Liposomal Glutathione is not broken down by your digestive tract and it has improved antioxidant effects at the cellular level. Testing shows Liposomal Glutathione has three times greater intestinal absorption than regular, non-liposomal glutathione.*
- Is it safe to consume this product while pregnant or nursing?
This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
- What is the purpose of the Stoplight-colored labeling?
The Stoplight System is a product-labeling program designed to help you make informed decisions when considering your gut health. While not every product is formulated specifically for gut support, the labels – Green, Yellow or Red – provide a clear guide on how a product might impact digestion.
