Why Use Glutathione?
Glutathione is found in all cells in the body, including the bile, the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs, and at much smaller concentrations in the blood. It is your cells own major antioxidant and a powerful detoxifier. Antioxidants are known to possess vital roles in health maintenance and disease prevention. Maintaining elevated glutathione levels aids the body's natural antioxidant function. (Biochemical Pharmacology 47: 1994)
Lypo-SphericTM GSH (Glutathione) is the easiest, surest way to boost GSH levels, because LivOn's "Smart Lyposomal Nano-Spheres®" transport GSH through the digestive system and into the bloodstream completely unscathed.
With Lypo-SphericTM GSH you know you are ingesting 450 mg of reduced (the active form) glutathione sulfhydryl that will be delivered intact to the bloodstream through Encapsulated Liposomal Technology (Chonn:1998) and available for immediate action wherever your body may need it. Fact: there's no better way to supplement with GSH!
Why The Hering Clinic Recommends this Product
Fights inflammation and the diseases of aging: It is well known that aging is accompanied by a precipitous fall in glutathione levels. Lower levels are implicated in many age-related diseases including cataracts, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's atherosclerosis and others. (Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 1994)
Heart disease, stroke and cholesterol: Raised glutathione levels fight the oxidation of fats circulating in the bloodstream including cholesterol, retarding the process of plaque formation in the arteries leading to most heart attacks and strokes. (Nutrition Reviews 1996. Prevents heart disease - Shimizu H, et al. Relationship Between Plasma Glutathione Levels and Cardiovascular Disease in a Defined Population: The Hisyama Study. Stroke. 2004 Sep)
Increases strength and endurance: Raised glutathione levels can help those interested in physical fitness to benefit from a definite athletic edge (Journal of Applied Physiology 1999)
Strenthens your immune system: Lymphocytes are cells that are vital for your immune system and depend on glutathione for their proper function and replication. (Immunology 1987)
A review article published in the Annals of Pharmacology stated that glutathione is important in DNA synthesis and repair, protein and prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport, detoxification of toxins and carcinogens, enhancement of the immune system, and protection from oxidation and enzyme activations. (The Immune System Cure, Vanderhaeghe & Bouic).
At the Hering Clinic we prefer Liposomal encapsulation because it improves delivery of the therapeutic agent (Mitsopoulos P, et al, 2011) and improves peptide bioavailability (Parmentier J, et al, 2011)
Directions for Use
Squeeze the contents of one packet into water. The liposomes disperse with a stir and add little or no taste to your drink. It's really easy to swallow - when we take our GSH we empty the sachet into a little water and swallow down like an oyster
