Glutathione™

Lee Silsby's Stabilized Reduced Glutathione Transdermal Gel has been proven to maintain its stability.

The stability of a product refers to the ability of an active ingredient to retain its full potency when incorporated into a dosage form such as a capsule, liquid, cream, or gel. Many active ingredients decompose - either gradually or rapidly - when added to an improperly formulated dosage form.

Several years of research and development have led to the creation of a formulation that we feel is the very best system for delivering reduced glutathione into the body. This was a particularly difficult task because of the poor stability of glutathione when added to a liquid, cream, or gel.

In order to insure that our glutathione formulation does, in fact, remain stable, we had it tested for stability by an independent laboratory. At the same time, another glutathione formulation commonly used by other compounding pharmacies was also tested for stability. The results of the testing showed that the glutathione in our transdermal gel formulation remained virtually 100% stable, while the glutathione in the standard formulation underwent rapid decomposition. In fact, as illustrated by the table above, the standard formulation lost 85% of its stability within three months.

Priding ourselves in our constant innovation in formulation development, we have recently made additional adjustments to our glutathione gel. These adjustments reflect our most current understanding about how best to achieve the highest skin absorption of topically applied medications. Our knowledge in this area has been developed through working with doctors and their patients on a clinical basis, as well as hundreds of hours of research into and development of transdermal dosage forms.
