Liposomal Glutathione: nootropic/heavy metal detox/other?

[Matt23]

Does anyone have any experience, knowledge, or resources with this?  

I initially was pointed to it for heavy metal detox, but it may be helpful for other things as well.

Thanks for any shares, advice, or resources.

I haven't seen any good evidence that glutathion will detox heavy metals.

To detox heave metals you need to detox it from your organs and brain. Which means the molecule has to cross the blood-brain barrier. Which very few molecules will do.

I've heard liposomal glutathione (LG) can do this.  From the very limited glance at some article titles, the liposomal part seems to act like an encasing which facilitates the glutathione to cross membranes (including blood-brain barrier) without it being damaged, etc.  

"Coating organic, drug-encapsulating nanoparticles with glutathione helps the nanoparticles cross the in vitro blood-brain barrier model better than identical concentrations of uncoated nanoparticles..."  =   https://symbiosisonlinepublishing.com/pharmacy-pharmaceuticalsciences/pharmacy-pharmaceuticalsciences03.php

Just one of several searches items that popped up saying LG can cross the blood-brain barrier.

I doubt it acts as well as a full-blown chelator, like one you'd go to a nutritionist or something for using intravenous.  I wonder if it acts similarly.  I don't really know much at all about this process.  seems like it could be beneficial for other things as well, like as a potential lighter nootropic.

@Matt23 Matt the risk of supplemental glutathione is that it is really poorly absorbed in the gut. Liposomal somewhat better but you may achieve better results from consuming foods rich in cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid (building blocks of glutathione) or taking some NAC. But just increasing glutathione may not be good enough as systemic detoxification requires more targeted & aggressive approach. 

Are you looking to use the glutathione to boost your immune defences or looking for systemic detox?

@Michael569  what are the risks?  Just wasting product?

I guess i was initially hoping for somewhat of a cheaper version of a heavy metal detox.  One that's safer as well since im just starting out with all of this.  The symptoms i'm trying to overcome are sleep issues, brain fog and trouble concentrating, depression, anxiety, as well as body stiffness and joint soreness.
