Liposomal Glutathione (10 Pack)

Benefits

Liposomal Glutathione by Nutritional Frontiers contains 150 mg of L-glutathione and 60 mg of Coenzyme Q10 per dose. Glutathione is the most abundant antioxidant made in the human body and acts as a critical regulator of oxidative stress. Antioxidants battle damage from free radicals. Free radicals are also called ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). They are so highly reactive they can damage cellular components  in the body. ROS originate from normal cell metabolic processes as well as exogenous sources like ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, and chemicals.

Antioxidants like glutathione and CoQ10 protect against oxidation by degrading ROS into inert compounds. Excessive free radicals are associated with many diseases: atherosclerosis, cataracts, cancer, Alzheimer’s, osteoarthritis, immune dysfunction, and more.

Glutathione is a key part of the liver’s detoxification capabilities with its ability to bind toxic chemicals, as well as being a free radical scavenger. Glutathione is active in Phase II liver detoxification, helping the body manage carcinogens, toxins, and drugs. The liver contains a 2-phase detoxification system for managing toxins, hormones, certain pharmaceutical medications, and some herbs. The job of liver detoxification is to transform these substances from fat-soluble compounds into water soluble products in order to efficiently excrete them into the urine or stool. Phase I detox chemically transforms these compounds to a less toxic form making them water soluble and ready for Phase II. During Phase I many free radicals are generated making antioxidants a critical component to a well-rounded program. Phase II liver detoxification involves a process called conjugation. Conjugation refers to the addition or coming together of compounds in order to neutralize toxins, making them more easily excreted through the urine or bile.

Oral administration of Liposomal Glutathione has been shown to increase blood and cellular levels of glutathione, as well enhancing immune function parameters.

CoQ10 is a free radical scavenger and a naturally occurring cofactor in cellular energy as part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It is vital to the production of ATP. Oral supplementation with CoQ10 is reported to improve fatigue and physical performance. CoQ10 levels decrease with aging.
