Liposomal Ultra Delivery & Protection
For optimal absorption, Well.Actually. encapsulates its Glutathione & Selenium within millions of micro-phospholipid bubbles called liposomes which are suspended in a Liquid. The membrane of these liposomes (phospholipids) is of the same material that surrounds our own cells. Due to this physiological indifference, the body recognises and transports the liposomal Glutathione & Selenium directly into our own cells. The liposomes also protect their nutrient-rich content against harsh digestive processes, which tablets and capsules cannot withstand. This ensures more intact Glutathione & Selenium make it into the blood.
Taking a standard tablet, powder, or capsule form glutathione is about as useful as eating soup with a fork, as it is not absorbed into the body easily.
What are the benefits of Glutathione?
Often dubbed “The Master Antioxidant” - Glutathione can be found in almost every cell of the human body. The body naturally produces glutathione in the liver, making it vital for supporting the body's natural detoxification capabilities. Production of glutathione declines as we age and/or suffer from poor diet, environmental toxins, stress, trauma, some medications, and infections. These factors reduce protection from free radical damage to our healthy cells, protein, and DNA.
Antioxidants are our body’s natural protection against free radical damage. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons which makes them unstable as electrons like to be in pairs.
Free radicals attack other cells to steal their electron, therefore damaging the cell by reducing its ability to function. More free radicals can be created by smoking, pollution, chemicals, and exposure to the sun's UV rays. If free radicals overwhelm the body's ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. Oxidative stress can cause us to age quicker and can damage tissues which can lead to a variety of diseases over time.
A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. Glutathione is a tri-peptide consisting of amino acids glutamate, cysteine, and glycine which have an extra electron. Acting as an electron donor, it directly binds to the molecules with the missing electrons and neutralizes them.
