Essential Liposomal Glutathione: Glutathione (GSH)




AVAILABLE AT VITAMIN WAGON

Glutathione (GSH) is often referred to as the body's master antioxidant. Glutathione can be found in virtually every cell of the human body. The highest concentration of glutathione is in the liver, making it critical in the body's detoxification process.
Glutathione is also an essential component to the body's natural defense system. Viruses, bacteria, heavy metal toxicity, radiation, certain medications, and even the normal process of aging can all cause free-radical damage to healthy cells and deplete glutathione. Glutathione depletion has been correlated with lower immune function and increased vulnerability to infection due to the liver's reduced ability to detoxify.
Advantages of Essential GSH™
What Makes Essential GSH™ Different?
No alcohol
Pharmaceutical grade base
Proven cell absorption via in vivo and in vitro exposure
Easily adjustable dosages – easy to measure
Contains essential phospholipids (no hydroxylated lecithin)
Gluten/casein free
SCD compliant
In Vitro Test Results
L2 cells were exposed to 2.5% Essential GSH™ and intracellular glutathione was measured after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours. Intracellular glutathione content was measured via the spectrophotometric recycling assay, normalized to total cellular protein.
Results clearly indicate that intracellular glutathione levels increased after exposure to Essential GSH™, peaking at 2 hours with over a 2-fold increase. The transient action of the increased glutathione remains unknown, although repression of the endogenous glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) enzyme through GSH-feedback inhibition may be a likely reason.

Essential GSH with BioGlute Complex is a breakthrough liquid formulation uniquely designed to increase the systemic bioavailability of glutathione, via a liposomal-based delivery. This unique formulation contains a pharmaceutical grade glutathione with essential phospholipids, while containing no alcohol or glycerine.

Glutathione is a peptide and an anti-oxidant naturally produced in the body. It is important to good health and long life. Levels may drop as a result of oxidative stress due to disease, drugs, aging, toxic chemicals, inflammation, and stress in general. Adequate levels of glutathione are necessary to provide important antioxidant protection needed by the cells, to help eliminate toxic metabolic waste products and to support the immune system.

What is a Liposome? Derived from lecithin, a liposome is a microscopic fluid-filled pouch with walls identical to the phospholipids that make up the human cell membranes. The outer wall of the liposome is fat solublewhile the inside is water-soluble. This combination enables liposomes to be readily absorbed, allowing for systemic availability of the water-soluble materials that would otherwise not be absorbed into the body. The administering of therapeutic compounds via liposomal technology has been effective in many areas. L2 cells were exposed to 2.5% Essential GSH and intracellular glutathione was measured after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours. Intracellular glutathione content was measured via the spectrophotometric recycling assay, normalized to total cellular protein. Results clearly indicate that intracellular glutathione levels increased after exposure to Essential GSH, peaking at 2 hours with over a 2-fold increase. The transient action of the increased glutathione remains unknown, although repression of the endogenous glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) enzyme through GSH-feedback inhibition may be a likely reason.

Hydroxycobalamin


Hydroxycobalamin is a unique form of vitamin B12, which is more readily converted into the coenzyme forms than conventional cyanocobalamin. Hydroxycobalamin also readily binds body stores of cyanide, unlike conventional cyanocobalamin, which already includes this ion in its structure.

A coenzyme is a factor needed for the effective functioning of one of the body's vital enzymes. Many vitamins, including B12, are not biologically active in the form in which they are normally found in food, but are instead used by the body as part of a coenzyme. In other words, in these cases, the body has to convert a vitamin into its coenzyme form in order for the vitamin to exert its biological function.

Or, in the case of vitamin B12: not function, but functions. The body uses vitamin B12 in the form of two different coenzymes, each of which plays a different role in the body. Adenosylcobalamin [also known as cobamamide or dibencozide], was discovered earlier, and is the better-known of these coenzymes. Methylcobalamin is the other coenzyme form of B12. Methylcobalamin prevents the creeping numbness, dementia, and spongy degeneration of the nerve cells (neurons) seen in B12 deficiency. Adenosylcobalamin helps the body to process some amino acids, and to form substances used in the body's energy cycle. One coenzyme can't substitute for the other, any more than you can use your house keys to start your car.                        

You might think that this is the kind of obscure little factoid that gets put into biology textbooks or turns up on Final Jeopardy, but which has no real-world importance. "My diet and supplement program includes plenty of B12," you might think, "so my body will make all the B12 coenzymes I could ever want or need."
Like the old song says, It ain't necessarily so. While a good diet and supplement program usually guarantees the body a generous supply of adenosylcobalamin (unless you have a deadly genetic defect), the same cannot be said of Methylcobalamin. While adenosylcobalamin is readily stored up in the liver (and, to a lesser extent, the kidneys and other tissues), methylcobalamin's job requires that it be free to circulate in body fluids like cytosol (the liquid medium of the cell), plasma, and the fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid). Because of this, Methylcobalamin doesn't hang around in the body for very long.
Thus, while a person getting enough of the basic vitamin (cobalamin) will always have plenty of adenosylcobalamin, the nervous system has no special store of protective Methylcobalamin on which to rely. In fact, the body's Methylcobalamin "fuel tanks" can easily be brought below optimal levels, and the supply is quickly depleted if it is not constantly replenished.
When you take a regular B12 (cyanocobalamin) supplement, the body must first convert its B12 into Hydroxycobalamin order to form the B12 coenzymes. This involves the removal and detoxification of the cyanide molecule, followed by biochemical reduction to a less oxidized (+1 valence) state, and then the enzymatic conversion of the reduced cobalamin into one of two metabolically active coenzyme forms. By taking a preformed Hydroxycobalamin supplement, you can skip over this first biochemical stumbling block, allowing for unhampered formation of adenosylcobalamin and Methylcobalamin.
Methylcobalamin or Hydroxycobalamin?Because the body can interconvert the two B12 coenzymes, and because the body stores adenosylcobalamin but not Methylcobalamin, an adequate supply of Methylcobalamin usually ensures that you'll have plenty of adenosylcobalamin, too - but not vice-versa. Because of this fact, and because of the powerful neuroprotective effects of Methylcobalamin, a fully-formed Methylcobalamin supplement is the best choice for most people.
One key exception is persons with known or suspected cyanide toxicity, where Hydroxycobalamin has an unique role to play. Hydroxycobalamin helps the body to rid itself of cyanide, both by reacting with the toxin to form cyanocobalamin (which can then be excreted) and by enhancing the detoxification of cyanide through its conversion into the less toxic thiocyanate. In isolated human cells, Hydroxycobalamin penetrates cyanide-laden cells and detoxifies the toxin directly. Hydroxycobalamin has a long history of intravenous use for acute, life-threatening cyanide toxicity (such as during industrial disasters) and is approved for this use in many European countries. At lower doses, oral Hydroxycobalamin increases the urinary excretion of thiocyanate in laboratory animals fed cyanide-containing diets. Sublingual Hydroxycobalamin is an ideal choice for a B12 supplement in persons concerned with chronic, low-level cyanide toxicity.
