Bonnie Taub-Dix, R.D.N., is a registered dietitian, host of the Media Savvy Podcast, and creator of <a href=\"http:\/\/betterthandieting.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BetterThanDieting.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What Exactly Is Glutathione?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant made up of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. &#8220;Glutathione is commonly nicknamed the &#8216;master antioxidant of the body,&#8217; as it helps neutralize molecules called free radicals, which are reactive particles that are generated by daily cellular processes and stressors,&#8221; says <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chelsea Azarcon<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, N.D., naturopathic medical doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body makes glutathione on its own, but levels decline with age. You may also produce less glutathione if you&#8217;re under a lot of stress, eating a poor diet, or exposed to environmental toxins or radiation, adds Azarcon. In other words, if your lifestyle isn&#8217;t as healthy as can be, there&#8217;s a good chance you have less-than-ideal glutathione levels\u2014and may be able to benefit from supplementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/balance-your-hormones\/\">Balance Your Hormones Naturally With These Supplements<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Can Glutathione Benefit Your Health?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGlutathione can be beneficial for anyone looking to support overall wellness and energy levels,&#8221; says Azarcon. &#8220;It\u2019s also often included in wellness routines for individuals managing long-term health challenges, such as autoimmune issues, neurological concerns, or metabolic imbalances, and is commonly used as part of detox-focused protocols.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s more about glutathione\u2019s main functions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps neutralize free radicals to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prevent oxidative stress and cellular damage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the brain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supports liver health<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and detoxification<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerates other protective antioxidants<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and enzymes, like vitamins C and E<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps support <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">immune function and maintain respiratory health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protects mitochondria, your cellular energy powerhouses<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What To Consider When Looking for a Glutathione Supplement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral glutathione supplements, especially capsules, are not always well-absorbed in the digestive tract. That&#8217;s because glutathione is fragile and can be easily broken down in the gut before your body has a chance to utilize it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/liposomal-glutathione-500-mg-1\/vs-4363\">Liposomal glutathione<\/a> is the gold standard and most absorbable form, according to Azarcon. &#8220;While glutathione is a large molecule that is poorly absorbed in the intestinal tract, research supports that liposomal glutathione (a fat-packed form) and some S-Acetyl glutathione have superior absorption.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/ways-to-stoke-sluggish-digestion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Stoke Sluggish Digestion<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liposomal delivery involves wrapping glutathione in tiny fat-based spheres (liposomes) that protect it through the digestive tract and enhance absorption into cells. You can think of the liposomal coating as a protective shield that allows the glutathione to get into your bloodstream more effectively, according to Karen Cooney, M.A., C.N., C.H.H.C. is a nutritionist at The Vitamin Shoppe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of liposomal glutathione include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10215789\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superior bioavailability<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (it helps glutathione to actually reach your cells)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More stable and protected through digestion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Efficient support for detox, immunity, and energy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen supplementing with glutathione, delivery method matters,\u201d says Azarcon. \u201cLiposomal forms offer better cellular uptake and results, especially for individuals looking to support cellular health and manage oxidative stress over time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/mitochondrial-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6 Lifestyle Habits That Mess With Mitochondrial Health<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Azaron recommends this form of glutathione to help people with respiratory issues or those who have a history of smoking. &#8220;It helps coat your respiratory system to protect it from damage and help fight infections.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, emerging research suggests that liposomal glutathione may support <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.3233\/JAD-181054?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&amp;rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&amp;rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brain and metabolic health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but more clinical evidence is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other Effective Delivery Methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to liposomal forms, IV (Intravenous) glutathione and glutathione precursors can also be effective under the right conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Intravenous glutathione tends to be more effective for raising blood levels,&#8221;

However, some people also have genetic polymorphisms (called SNPs) that can impact glutathione recycling and utilization. In rare cases, individuals with certain genetic variations (SNPs) may need additional support when using glutathione and should consult a healthcare professional.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/10\/can-you-get-abs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Much Do Genetics Factor Into Getting Ripped\u00a0Abs?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Taub-Dix emphasizes again that a healthy diet is important for getting the best results from glutathione supplements. &#8220;As a dietitian, I know it may not be the most exciting tip, but I always look at the bigger picture\u2014glutathione supplements might have a place in your routine, but there\u2019s no better way to support your body\u2019s natural antioxidant power than with a varied, nourishing diet,&#8221; says Taub-Dix.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooney adds that other healthy lifestyle habits can also support glutathione production, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adequate sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular exercise<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reducing stress<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting some sunlight exposure<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Choosing a Quality Supplement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When shopping for a liposomal glutathione supplement, Cooney suggests looking for these additional features:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly labeled dosage per serving<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third-party tested for purity and potency<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No added sugar, alcohol, or artificial flavors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands that use sunflower lecithin (instead of soy) in their liposomal formulas are often a better choice for people with sensitivities to soy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A good option for getting started is Vthrive The Vitamin Shoppe brand&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/liposomal-glutathione-500-mg-1\/vs-4363\">Liquid Liposomal Glutathione<\/a>, which easily mixes into water or juice.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glutathione is worth the hype, but using the right form is key.
