Question 1

Is this glutathione product liposomal? Otherwise it won't be absorbed correct?

Accepted Answer

Benjamin,Info directly from Now.Here is a nice explanation of liposomal:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiposomalIt is a way to help support absorption of some products.We use it in some of our products:http://www.nowfoods.com/Vitamin-B-12-Liposomal-Spray-2oz.htmhttp://www.nowfoods.com/Vitamin-D-3-and-K-2-Liposomal-Spray-2oz.htmBut do not offer one with glutathione, and it does add cost to the product so formulated.But Glutathione as found in our Glutathione 250mg and 500mg products can be absorbed despite its large tripeptide structure. Here are a couple studies showing Glutathione absorption:Stimulation of glutathione absorption in rat small intestine by alpha-adrenergic agonists.Hagen TM, Bai C, Jones DP.FASEB J. 1991 Sep;5(12):2721-7.Fate of dietary glutathione: disposition in the gastrointestinal tract.Hagen TM, Wierzbicka GT, Bowman BB, Aw TY, Jones DP.Am J Physiol. 1990 Oct;259(4 Pt 1):G530-5.Bioavailability of dietary glutathione: effect on plasma concentration. Hagen TM, Wierzbicka GT, Sillau AH, Bowman BB, Jones DP.Am J Physiol. 1990 Oct;259(4 Pt 1):G524-9.In addition a recent study from our supplier also confirms absorption.Cysteine is a small better absorbed rate limiting amino in Glutathione synthesis and available for those who might continue to be worried about Glutathione's possible  poor absorption:http://www.nowfoods.com/Products/ProductsbyCategory/Category/M011370.htm?cat=Amino%20AcidsThank you for your inquiry, NOW Product Information Group Information in this response refers to product labeled for sale in the USA unless otherwise indicated.Best answer I can give you.  My body seems to be responding well to the product.

Question 2

Will it work better if if I take with orange or grape juice, which I’d high in vitamin C?

Accepted Answer

You should take on an empty stomach in the morning. Yes taking it with Orange juice or grape juice is fine as the sugar content helps with uptake in the small intestine for best absorption.
