The GLUTATHIONE 450mg is a dietary supplement containing glutathione, a tripeptíde consisting of 3 amino acids:
- glutamic acid
- cysteine
- glycine
The liposomal formulation technology results in greater absorption and bioavailability of the active substances and vitamins.
Liposomes:
Liposomes belong to the colloidal dispersion systems of bioactive transport molecules which have the ability to transport them, improving their effectiveness. The dimensions of liposomes according to the method of their preparation and the physicochemical characteristics of their structural units are in the order of nanometers up to several micrometers.
Historically, in the early 1960s, there was a tendency to study the biophysical properties of colloidal systems which had a lipid and phospholipid composition, with the aim of understanding the biophysical functions of cells. The biophysicist A.D. Bangham studied lipid colloidal dispersions to simulate cell membranes and study their functionality.
Liposomes, if prepared from structural materials such as those of our cells, have advantages related to the 'friendliness' towards human tissues. They have the ability to transport lipophilic bioactive molecules that do not easily dissolve in aqueous media and thus have problems with absorption and bioavailability, e.g., vitamins, curcumin, etc. and water-soluble or amphiphilic molecules, improving their rate of dissolution and absorption through the gastrointestinal tract.
Liposomes can also transport bioactive substances and improve their passage through the barriers of the gastrointestinal tract and are effective'vehicles' for transporting bioactive molecules. Liposomal technology and especially the innovative technology of supramolecular phospholipid complexes with a structure of lipid bilayers can improve the therapeutic effectiveness of dietary supplements and are an innovation in this field, providing high added value to the final dosage form.
