Ekolife Nature Liposomal Glutathione 30 cps

THE MOST EFFECTIVE ANTIOXIDANT IN LIPOSOMAL FORM

Our cells naturally contain glutathione, a natural substance consisting of three amino acids - cysteine, glutamate (glutamic acid) and glycine.

Glutathione is referred to as the most powerful antioxidant because it can regenerate itself in the liver and reactivate itself.

Professor Dr. Borut Štrukelj, M.Sc. (Department for Pharmaceutical Biology at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ljubljana) confirms that the liposomal method is an advanced pharmaceutical technology that allows the active substance to be better protected in the digestive tract, absorbed better and faster, and thus reach high concentrations in the blood.

Liposomes are made from pure phospholipids isolated from sunflower lecithin. They can vary in size from a few nanometers to tens of micrometers. When combined with water, phospholipids form microscopic structures with a water-filled cavity in the middle, surrounded by a phospholipid shell. The water in the middle of the phospholipid can then dissolve other molecules, such as a vitamin or glutathione, which we need to easily absorb into the body. And while hydrophilic (water-attracting) molecules can be kept inside the encapsulated core, hydrophobic (water-repelling) substances can dissolve into the phospholipid membrane itself - in this way, liposomes can transport both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules. And it is precisely because of these unique properties that they are used both by Mother Nature, e.g. in breast milk, and by specialist manufacturers, e.g. in the production of drugs or food supplements.

The main benefit of using liposomes for micronutrient transport is that the liposomes themselves are not disturbed by the digestion process as they pass through the digestive tract. In the case of conventional dietary supplements, the body often breaks down many complex molecules before they are absorbed, or simply does not absorb them easily enough, or subsequently metabolizes and degrades them by the liver, so that overall utilization is greatly reduced.

In contrast, liposomes are easily absorbed due to their stability and ideal size. But that's not all. There is also a difference in the faster route by which liposomes enter the bloodstream and the cell. Due to their specific molecular form, liposomes are absorbed via the lymphatic system, where they pass directly into the bloodstream via the so-called thoracic lymph duct. In a subsequent step, they are absorbed into all cells via so-called passive diffusion. This is the difference with conventional vitamin and mineral supplements, which enter the liver in the first step, where they are metabolised and only then enter the bloodstream.

However, liposomes go even further in absorption. They help to transport active molecules directly into cellular processes where micronutrients are required in large quantities. The phospholipid bilayer of the liposome is able to fuse with other bilayers, such as the cell wall itself - and in this way the contents of the liposome (vitamins or other beneficial substances) are then transported directly into the cells.

The patented AKTINTM technology prepares liposomes in dry form. These typically exist in liquid emulsion form, but can also be prepared without water. In this form, they have the same or even higher absorption capacity for the body.
