What Is Reduced Glutathione — and Why Does the Form Matter?Updated 3 hours ago

The Codeage Nanofood Liquid Liposomal Glutathione features Reduced Glutathione — a specific form of glutathione that is widely used in dietary supplements. Understanding what "reduced" means in this context can help clarify why the form of glutathione matters in supplement formulation.

What Is Glutathione?

Glutathione is a tripeptide — a compound made up of three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It is naturally present in the body and is found in virtually every cell. It is one of the most researched antioxidant compounds in nutritional science and is commonly used in dietary supplement formulations.

What Does "Reduced" Mean?

Glutathione exists in two primary forms:

• Reduced Glutathione (GSH) — the active, antioxidant form of glutathione. It is the form that is biologically active in the body and the most commonly used form in dietary supplements.
• Oxidized Glutathione (GSSG) — the form that results after glutathione has been used in its antioxidant role. It can be converted back to the reduced form by the body under normal circumstances.

The term "reduced" in chemistry refers to the molecule's electron state — not to a reduction in potency or quantity. Reduced Glutathione (GSH) is considered the preferred form for supplementation.

Why Use Liposomal Delivery for Glutathione?

Glutathione in standard oral supplement forms faces challenges related to stability and digestion. The Codeage Helix Liposomal Delivery system — using phospholipids from non-GMO sunflower lecithin — is designed to encapsulate the glutathione within a lipid-based structure, supporting the ingredient's stability in a liquid formula.
