Is this glutathione product liposomal? Otherwise it won't be absorbed correct?

I'm not that versed about the product being liposomal or if it's being absorbed correctly. I'm a novice in those areas. I simply like the product because it's very effective in promoting several healthy changes in my body. I use it as directed and it's working wonderfully! Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Benjamin, Info directly from Now. Here is a nice explanation of liposomal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liposomal It is a way to help support absorption of some products. We use it in some of our products: http://www.nowfoods.com/Vitamin-B-12-Liposomal-Spray-2oz.htm http://www.nowfoods.com/Vitamin-D-3-and-K-2-Liposomal-Spray-2oz.htm But do not offer one with glutathione, and it does add cost to the product so formulated. But Glutathione as found in our Glutathione 250mg and 500mg products can be absorbed despite its large tripeptide structure. Here are a couple studies showing Glutathione absorption: Stimulation of glutathione absorption in rat small intestine by alpha-adrenergic agonists. Hagen TM, Bai C, Jones DP. FASEB J. 1991 Sep;5(12):2721-7. Fate of dietary glutathione: disposition in the gastrointestinal tract. Hagen TM, Wierzbicka GT, Bowman BB, Aw TY, Jones DP. Am J Physiol. 1990 Oct;259(4 Pt 1):G530-5. Bioavailability of dietary glutathione: effect on plasma concentration. Hagen TM, Wierzbicka GT, Sillau AH, Bowman BB, Jones DP. Am J Physiol. 1990 Oct;259(4 Pt 1):G524-9. In addition a recent study from our supplier also confirms absorption. Cysteine is a small better absorbed rate limiting amino in Glutathione synthesis and available for those who might continue to be worried about Glutathione's possible poor absorption: http://www.nowfoods.com/Products/ProductsbyCategory/Category/M011370.htm?cat=Amino%20Acids Thank you for your inquiry, NOW Product Information Group Information in this response refers to product labeled for sale in the USA unless otherwise indicated. Best answer I can give you. My body seems to be responding well to the product.

Okay here's my theory b/c it does seem like the exact thing. For me the liposomal process is done all at once and sold this way. Where as the lypo-spheric has a combination of similar ingredients that activates to liposomal when you prepare to take it. Not sure which is better since there isn't much info that I could find rt now. I personally make my own liposomal vitamin c. So when I was reading about lypo-spheric it seems almost like the same process but activates once you open and use. I could be wrong. I will keep researching .....just didn't want to leave you hanging without some kind of answer. In my opinion you would thrive on both products. Thank you so much for asking this question because I didn't even know there was an lypo-spheric product out there. I need to look into this more!!!!

Like I said in my post,I think it is tribulus. I had it analysed in a chem lab and they said it was. I had been using the product,i.e,.sd-200, for a couple of years with good results and then out of the blue my last order recieved around March didn't look the same (lighter color,finer granules) so I tested it by leaving it by a window for 12 hours and sure enough it clumped up. Note: remove from capsule to perform this test. Then I sent it to a lab and confirmed my findings. My attempts to e-mail Sam failed. I think its' the same old greedy bastard story. I would suggest that Pure Science Supplements has gone bad.

I think that as long as you don't use the whole bottle, it's fine. I'm sure some of the Vitamin E crosses over into your system, but, it's most likely not enough to overdose on Vit E!

Phosphatidylserine is fat-solube so I take it together after eating a meal or consuming some kind of fat, like coconut oil or omega 3. DHC has a synergistic effect with this supplement

The company's website specifies: "Optimal Liposomal Vitamin C utilizes consistent 150 nm sized liposomes" If you go to their website, you can call or write in a question. I have found them to be very responsive. BTW, I LOVE this product.

No to make liposomal glutithione you need to mix it with sunflower ( or soy if your not concerned with that) lecithin then process it in a ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for at least 25 minutes, store in fridge and drink 1 to 2 oz a day

Oxide is not absorbed well by the body. Malate, aspartate, taurate and glycinate are better absorbed.

The tablets are quite large, and they are not coated. Because of their packaging, they usually leave powder at the bottom of the bottle. The do seem to dissolve fully when taken, however, and don't seem to upset my stomach.

I'm not sure, but Dr. Mercola's Liposomal C is and its in caplets, which are much easier and better to take because there's no nasty taste. I like them more and its cheaper in volume.

I just received a catalog from a supplement company which notes that Bio-Curcumin is complexed with Phosphatidylcholine, which is a lipid in the lecithin family (Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine), phosphatidylcholine has been clinically shown to increase bioavailability and absorption as compared to standard, conjugated curcumin. It is also used in this way and for this reason with other medications. In short, this means that Bio-Curcumin is in fact liposomal. Wikipedia has an article on liposomes, which, near the beginning says this, "Liposomes are often composed of phosphatidylcholine-enriched phospholipids......". So I assume this clearly answers the question....yes, it is liposomal curcumin.

I think I sent a response before I had a chance to complete my answer. In any case, although my memory was that it was glucosamine sulfate, I may be wrong. I just checked the formula online, and the shellfish-free version seems to use glucosamine hydrochloride. My rheumatologist actually recommends glucosamine hydrochloride, as it is MUCH, MUCH preferred in Europe, where it has been extensively tested. He says the prejudice against it in the US is due largely to the fact that there are no American studies that feature it. In any case, my cardiologist took me off glucosamine (and I was taking this particular brand) about six months ago. Since then, my joints have aged probably 20 years in terms of general arthritis symptoms. Maybe they would have anyway, but I choose to think that it's because I no longer have the "maintenance" protection from my Solgar glucosamine. As far as my personal experience goes, it obviously was (and is) genuinely very effective.

Yes. But you may want to research natural food sources of glutathione such as onions, garlic and watermelon, etc. They are much more likely to be absorbed.

May Ann Parker's answer is for Cell Food, not the silica one. Who knows....

It is a powerful antioxidant. However, this product is a compilation of supplements designed to lighten your skin. If you are wanting just the benefits of glutathione then Max Health Labs and Nutrient Tree are great products.

Hi! I knew I wasn't going to be returning this and threw away my box also, but I went to the pharmacy to take a look at the ingredients for you! I will attach a picture to my review. Here's what it has listed on the box: Water/Aqua/Eau, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, VP/VA Copolymer, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sodium Acrylate/Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Amodimethicone, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Isohexadecane, Polysilicone-11, Polysorbate 80, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphensin, PhenoxethanolNot sure which of those are parabens, but I hope this helps!
