NutriStart Naturally NutriStart Naturally - Liposomal Glutathione, 120 ml
NutriStart Naturally Liposomal Glutathione - Known as the “Master Antioxidant” because it is the only key antioxidant which acts inside the cells: all other antioxidants work outside the cell membranes. Glutathione is therefore essential for protecting the DNA inside cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. And, healthy DNA replication is the key component of longevity. Glutathione is a substance produced naturally by the liver, constructed from the amino acids cysteine, glutamine, and glycine. It is necessary to protect cellular health, and is the single most important antioxidant that we require in order for the body to properly detoxify. Most supplemental forms of glutathione are ineffective. Conventional glutathione products are rapidly oxidized during digestion, and fail to actually increase blood levels of glutathione in the body. The only forms of glutathione ever proven to substantially elevate levels of glutathione in the body are injection, sublingual, intravenous, and liposomal.

Why people keep reordering it
Best suited to: someone who tried oral glutathione and saw nothing, heavy training or high oxidative load weeks, people who cannot swallow capsules.
What the research supports
Each 4 mL dose is 500 mg of glutathione wrapped in 400 mg of phosphatidylcholine, the shell that helps it survive digestion. The 120 mL bottle holds 30 doses.
Trials measuring blood glutathione used 500 mg and 1000 mg daily doses.
- Glutathione stores (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial)
- A controlled human trial found liposomal glutathione at 500 mg and 1000 mg daily raised blood and cell glutathione over four weeks, where plain oral forms had given mixed results.
- Oxidative stress (evidence: limited, from small human trial)
- The same small trial found oxidative stress markers dropped alongside the glutathione rise, though the sample was small and has not been widely repeated at this dose.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- Someone who tried oral glutathione and saw nothing
- The liposomal form is the reason. Standard glutathione capsules are cleaved during digestion, which is why the phosphatidylcholine shell here is the active part of the design rather than a filler.
- Heavy training or high oxidative load weeks
- Glutathione is the antioxidant that works inside the cell rather than in the bloodstream, and 500 mg is the dose that measurably lifted intracellular stores in trial.
- People who cannot swallow capsules
- It is a liquid taken by teaspoon or mixed into a small amount of juice, and the sublingual hold is part of the instructions rather than an optional extra.
Look elsewhere if
- Anyone wanting general antioxidant cover
- Vitamin C at 500 mg, or simply more colour on the plate, does that job for a tiny fraction of the price. This is a targeted product, not a broad one.
- Someone who will not refrigerate it
- The bottle needs the fridge after opening and finishing within 45 days. If that will not happen, a capsule of N-acetylcysteine sitting in a cupboard is the more realistic buy.
- People on the tightest budget
- N-acetylcysteine at 600 mg is the cheap precursor route. It relies on your own synthesis rather than delivering the finished molecule, but the cost per day is not close.
What to expect
You will not feel this. In the trials that measured it, blood and white cell glutathione climbed over roughly one to four weeks of daily dosing, and that change is only visible on a lab draw. Anyone promising a noticeable difference in a week is selling you something.
How it compares
- Compared with N-acetylcysteine
- This delivers the finished tripeptide in a phospholipid carrier, so you are not dependent on how fast your body assembles glutathione from its three amino acids. The tradeoff: NAC costs a small fraction per day, keeps at room temperature and has a far larger body of human research behind it. You are paying a real premium for the delivery form here.
