Nootropics - Liposomal gluthatione (GSH)

The Liposomal Gluthatione is the most powerful antioxidant, combating the effects of physical and emotional stress, pathogens, toxins, free radicals, herbicides, smoking side effects and even ageing). Higher blood and intra-cellular levels of GSH can prevent the oxidization of the cellular membrane, protecting the body from the effects of free radicals. Helps activate vitamin E and C. The liposomal glutathione is protected by the stomach acidity, being assimilated as liposomes and it is 100% bioavailable. GSH is a tripeptide made from cysteine, glutamine and glycine. The highest concentration is found stored in liver.

Benefits:

• plays a key role in detoxifying the body;
• GGT, which can breakdown in GSH, can be taken intravenous, intramuscular, oral or inhaled;
• cellular GSH levels are a good predictor of life expectancy;
• prevents different body systems from deterioration and disease;
• reduces the risk of cancer, Parkinson, Huntington and Alzheimer's disease;
• prevents glaucoma and cataract;
• fight oxidative stress in the body;
• may control inflammation;
• drops with age, especially during the menopause, increasing the blood levels will prevent age related cognitive decline;
• may prevent depression;
• may limit neurodegeneration;
• may help with infections;
• protects the intestinal mucosa, heals the gut;
• autistic children have 20-40% lower levels of GSH;
• regulation of life, proliferation and death of the cancer cells;
• helps in ADHD;
• prevents heart diseases caused by oxidative stress in the heart tissue;
• may treat diabetes complication in diabetes type 2;
• may prevent kidney and liver disease and kidney failure caused by oxidative stress;
• may decrease the development of addictive behaviors and eating disorders;
• reduces the consequences of alcohol and drugs use;
• controls the activation of cells death pathway;
• may help in asthma and COPD, and in sleep apnea, as they are characterized by lower GSH levels;
• may treat acne, rheumatoid arthritis;
• encourage a healthy pregnancy;
• helps in AIDS and cystic fibrosis;
• it is a skin lightening agent.

Side effects:

• if inhaled can lead to breathing difficulty, do not use it if you have asthma;
• taste bad, liposomal form is recommended, if you are poor, start slow and increase gradually;
• 1 in 8 subjects can experiment increased flatulence, diarrhea or chest tightness.

Dosage:

not more that 600 mg per day, ideally inhaled

it is not very effective oral taken, but it is good as liposomal, sublingual or orobucal (lozenges) and increase the vitamin C absorption;

can be combined with cysteine, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and methionine.
