About Liposomal Glutathione 50
Liposomal Glutathione 50 is a Designs for Health product that is formulated with pioneering liposomal technology as a means to improve bioavailability and boost absorption. It has been designed to address the needs of individuals lacking energy and needing antioxidant support. The product comes with a tasty lemon-peppermint flavor and offers 100 mg of glutathione per serving.
How Liposomal Glutathione Works
The formula contains glutathione, which is regarded as one of the most powerful antioxidants produced by the human body. Among its primary roles is to provide cells with the required support to fight oxidative stress from free radicals (in the environment or the consumption of food). It also protects against the free radicals that result from normal metabolic processes. Glutathione is found to protect DNA from damage, as well. At the same time, it plays a vital role in the detoxification process of the body.
Why is Glutathione Such a Big Deal?
Glutathione is synthesized in the body and is found in the highest levels in the spleen, eyes, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It is an antioxidant that carries several different functions. For starters, it is a key factor in the natural detoxification function of the liver, which means that it helps the body get rid of harmful toxins and heavy metals. This function, in turn, contributes to a healthy immune system. Other than that, glutathione is the single most important antioxidant in the body that protects the cells against oxidative stress. Finally, glutathione is responsible for the proper functioning of the mitochondria, which you may hear referred to as the cells’ powerhouses. They got this nickname because they generate most of the energy in the cells. Given that the body requires energy to perform its functions and maintain its normal processes at optimal levels, glutathione is a leading compound in the body as it ensures enough energy is produced on a cellular level. The sad thing is that as we get older, the body’s ability to make glutathione declines, which is why it is so important to supplement ourselves with glutathione products.
Now, you might be wondering, “Why liposomal glutathione and not plain glutathione?”. Designs For Health decided to add liposomes, the building blocks of cell membranes, in the glutathione formula to allow faster absorption while also ensuring that glutathione will not degrade in the gastrointestinal tract. It is critical that it reaches its intended destination, which is the intestines so that its health benefits are released and taken advantage of appropriately. Liposomes, therefore, become the protectors of glutathione and make sure it is safely delivered to the intestines.
According to studies and clinical findings, glutathione can:
Reduce oxidative stress – If the body produces more free radicals than it can fight off, there is a chemical imbalance that could lead to multiple diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Glutathione helps prevent the adverse effects of this situation and restore balance.
Reduce cell damage in fatty liver disease – Fatty liver disease is the outcome of the liver being deficient in antioxidants. Glutathione is found to improve enzyme and protein levels in the blood of people with chronic fatty liver disease.
Improve insulin resistance – Researchers found that low glutathione levels are related to higher rates of fat storing and less fat burning.
Help fight against autoimmune diseases – Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, are caused by chronic inflammation, which increased oxidative stress. Glutathione enters the equation to eliminate free radicals and reduce or stimulate the immunological response of the body as a means to reduce oxidative stress.
Reduce respiratory disease symptoms – Glutathione byproducts are found to make thin mucus less paste-like while also treating asthma symptoms effectively.
