Advantages of ReadiSorb Liposomal Glutathione
Safety and Efficacy of ReadiSorb® Liposomal Glutathione
Four clinical studies document the safety and efficacy of ReadiSorb® Liposomal Glutathione (RLG) in restoring glutathione in adults (1-3) and children (4). The studies were conducted in individuals with conditions with low glutathione such as HIV (1, 2), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) (3), and autism (4).
Advantages Compared to NAC and Plain Glutathione
The ReadiSorb® Liposomal Glutathione clinical studies were preceded by cell studies demonstrating that ReadiSorb® Liposomal Glutathione will restore glutathione levels and macrophage immune defense 1,000 times more efficiently than N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) (5, 6). The studies showed that NAC required an amount 1,000 times larger than ReadiSorb® Glutathione to achieve the same result (5, 6).
RLG is 100 times more potent than plain GSH in restoring GSH to cells and in cell defense against pesticide toxicity (7).
The advantage of liposomal glutathione is magnified by the observation liposomes are known to accumulate at sites of inflammation and are taken up by macrophages (8) van Alem 2021.
Macrophages are a major component of immune defense and the role GSH plays in their function is described in (1-3).
