Here's Why Your Supplements Don't Seem To Work | Nayan Patel : 1502

Dr. Nayan Patel

Dr. Nayan Patel joins Dave Asprey to discuss glutathione, the body's master antioxidant. He explains why common supplementation methods—oral capsules, liposomal liquids, and IV drips—fail to deliver glutathione to the cells where it's needed. Patel then shares his breakthrough in transdermal glutathione delivery, which finally overcomes these barriers. The conversation covers the science behind glutathione's role in detoxification, aging, and cellular health, and why proper delivery is the key to unlocking its benefits.

Highlights

•
Oral Glutathione Fails Because It’s Destroyed in Digestion
Oral glutathione supplements are broken down by the digestive system before they can enter the bloodstream and reach cells.

•
Liposomal Glutathione Doesn’t Survive Passage Through the Gut and Blood
Liposomal encapsulation fails to protect glutathione from digestive degradation and doesn't ensure intracellular delivery.

•
IV Glutathione Bypasses the Gut but Still Fails to Reach Cells Effectively
Even direct intravenous administration doesn't guarantee glutathione gets into cells.

•
Transdermal Glutathione Delivery Finally Achieves Cellular Absorption
A transdermal delivery system bypasses the digestive and vascular barriers to successfully raise intracellular glutathione levels.
