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.
