Seeking Health Optimal Liposomal Glutathione is a dietary supplement containing a reduced form of glutathione, which with the aim of its optimal absorption was placed in a liposomal solution of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The preparation supports the work of natural antioxidant mechanisms of the organism, supports the health of the liver and proper activity of the immune system.

Glutathione is an important antioxidant which naturally appears in every cells of the organism, ensuring its protection from free radicals and peroxides. In the human organism, glutathione is produced from three amino acids: L-cysteine, glycine and L-glutamic acid. Glutathione is present in the organism in two forms: reduced and oxidized. Important enzymatic mechanisms inside the organism transform the oxidized form to the reduced form.

Although glutathione is present in many food sources, processing or heat treatment cause its considerable or total loss. Its considerably lower concentration is observed in the blood of smokers. Regular smoking causes permanently increased need for this antioxidant and leads to the drop of its concentration in the organism. It has also been observed that abusing alcohol leads to the decrease of glutathione concentration in liver cells, as a result of oxidative stress induction.

Research carried out by Marin at al. confirms that intensive physical effort increases the requirements of working muscles for low-molecular antioxidants, to which glutathione belongs. The authors studied the influence of 30-week training on the activity of enzymes synthesizing glutathione in skeletal muscles of dogs and the concentration of glutathione in the plasma. They observed 2x and 3x growth of the activity of these enzymes and complete growth of the concentration of glutathione in the plasma with the lack of changes of the concentration of the oxidized form.

Glutathione is incredibly important in supporting antioxidant defense of the organism’s cells and the activity of the immune system. Apart from this, it may take part in maintaining proper protein structures of the organism, by “marking” the molecules which are supposed to be eliminated by the liver and taking part in important enzymatic reactions, essential for neutralizing potentially harmful free radicals in the whole organism. Moreover, glutathione supports the pathways of detoxification of the organism and healthy functioning of the liver, kidneys, lungs and intestines.

Glutathione plays a key role in the mechanism of programmed cell death. Cancer cells, which do not undergo apoptosis, have a very high concentration of glutathione. In many diseases, which supposedly stem from the activity of reactive oxygen forms, the decrease of glutathione concertation is observed. Therefore, it is believed that detailed knowledge of methods of changing the availability and amount of glutathione by means of diet and pharmacology may in the future constitute an essential form of prophylaxis and therapy of many ailments, i.a. cancers, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, among people infected with HIV and in lymphocytes of patients with advanced symptoms of AIDS as well as in alcoholism.

Glutathione also plays a range of important functions, which are not related to antioxidant protection of the organism. It takes part in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds, in the metabolism of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, it participates in methemoglobin reduction, is a form of cysteine transport, influences the activity of glycolysis enzymes and it also may be important in the processes of the absorption of iron and other microelements, such as selenium.

In this supplement, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine play the role of liposomes. Liposomes are spontaneously created structures from phospholipids, which have the form of phospholipid bubbles full of liquid and surrounded by double lipid layer. Liposome sheath is identically formed as biological membranes. Liposomes naturally occur in living organisms and may be industrially produced and fulfill similar functions.

Liposomes find their application primarily in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry and also in scientific studies where they play a role of biological membrane model. Inside liposomes, solutions or water suspensions of various substances are placed as the carriers of pharmaceuticals. Liposomal solution, in which the active substance of the preparation Optimal Liposomal Glutathione was suspended – glutathione, was obtained from sunflower oil devoid of GMO.

The form of liposomal glutathione used in the supplement is characterized by better absorption of this substance, helping to protect its delicate molecule during its way through the digestive tract. Liposome is a small phospholipid bag, which imitates cellular structure of the body. Liposomes are also better absorbable by mucous membranes, in the way that is not possible for basic nutrients soluble in water or fats.

Summing up, Optimal Liposomal Glutathione is a dietary supplement which demonstrates many properties influencing health and proper functioning of the human organism. It strengthens the immune system, protects from the activity of free radicals, supports the work of the liver and detoxification mechanisms of the organism. It is recommended to everyone who takes care about health and especially when it comes to cancer prophylaxis, counteracting neurogenerative diseases and among smokers and people abusing alcohol. The benefits stemming from the supplementation also concern physically active people, who may be aided in building a dreamed sports form.
