Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body and is necessary for the proper functioning of detoxification pathways, indicated in cases of environmental toxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction and neurological deficits.
Cyto-Sorb's patented technology uses a two-phase emulsion process with phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E, and organic coconut vegetable glycerin to create micellar liposomes and significantly improve the bioavailability, stability, and sustained release of glutathione.
Whey protein concentrate and lactoferrin are added for their ability to stabilize glutathione and provide additional antiviral and antimicrobial support.
Glutathione is a tripeptide molecule synthesized in the body from three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamate. Glutathione is considered one of the body's most powerful antioxidants. It is involved in several enzyme systems necessary for detoxification, neutralizing free radicals, and maintaining blood-brain barrier function. Several health problems are associated with low levels of intracellular glutathione, including neurological deficits, cognitive problems, Parkinson's disease, autism, and respiratory problems. Simply put, glutathione deficiency is a marker of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.
CytoMatrix Liposomal Glutathione utilizes Cyto-Sorb, a unique, patented technology, to create a stable, multi-layered liposome with additional micellar release of glutathione.
Additionally, whey protein concentrate and lactoferrin are included as necessary stabilizing agents for the glutathione molecule, preventing it from oxidizing and degrading into its parent amino acids, cysteine, glutamine, and glycine. Lactoferrin is a therapeutic product in its own right, capable of carefully transporting iron throughout the body and providing antiviral and antimicrobial protection. Together, the processing techniques and the addition of whey protein concentrate and lactoferrin allow for micronutrient stability, improved bioavailability, and the sustained delivery of glutathione to intestinal absorption sites.
