However, oral glutathione supplementation is limited by poor bioavailability due to gastrointestinal degradation and low membrane permeability. Liposomal formulations offer a promising strategy to enhance delivery and therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to compare the biological activity and systemic availability of a novel liposomal glutathione formulation (LipoDuo\u2122 Glutathione) with plain glutathione using both\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    cellular models and\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    human pharmacokinetic evaluation. Human embryonic kidney 293T cells were treated with LipoDuo\u2122 or plain glutathione to assess intracellular uptake, optimal dosing, cell proliferation and wound healing. In a parallel-arm, open-label human study, twelve healthy subjects (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    6 per group) received a single oral dose of either LipoDuo\u2122 or plain glutathione (1 g), and plasma glutathione levels were monitored over 24 h using LC-MS\/MS. Uptake: LipoDuo\u2122 demonstrated \u223c1\u00b79-fold higher cellular uptake than plain glutathione, peaking at 6 h (45 %\n                    <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>\n                    . 23 %). Proliferation: LipoDuo\u2122 increased cell proliferation by up to 3-fold over control, superior to plain glutathione. Wound healing: LipoDuo\u2122 achieved 100 % closure at 24 h,\n                    <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>\n                    . 59\u00b78 % for plain glutathione. Pharmacokinetics: LipoDuo\u2122 achieved a maximum plasma concentration of \u223c1800 ng\/ml (6\u00d7 higher than plain), showed a bimodal absorption pattern and maintained plasma levels &gt; 500 ng\/ml at 24 h. LipoDuo\u2122 Glutathione significantly improves cellular delivery, biological activity and systemic bioavailability compared with conventional glutathione. Its bimodal distribution and prolonged plasma retention position it as a next-generation antioxidant supplement with clinical potential in oxidative stress management, skin health and metabolic recovery.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114526106254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,21]],"date-time":"2026-01-21T05:50:26Z","timestamp":1768974626000},"page":"956-963","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Liposomal glutathione outperforms plain glutathione in uptake, cell regeneration and systemic availability: evidence from cellular and human models"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"135","author":[{"given":"Krishnamurthy Narasimha","family":"Prasad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chaithra","family":"Chandrashekar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0097-613X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yalpi","family":"Karthik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Girish Gannareddy","family":"Vasantha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shamprasad","family":"Phadnis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0163-7827(02)00004-8"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/BC.2009.033"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5826\/dpc.0801a04"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1088\/1748-605X\/acc0bc"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11102412"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/adhm.202300319"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/187221050902150819151721"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dth.13312"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2023.1152985"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40543-019-0193-1"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpharm.2022.122152"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CCID.S128339"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4161\/cam.36224"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/972913"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10717544.2018.1551441"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.freeradbiomed.2016.01.029"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2023.1220213"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12484"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.51248\/.v43i1.2573"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2015.00286"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ejcn.2017.132"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0215(19970410)71:2<246::AID-IJC20>3.0.CO;2-E"},{"key":"S0007114526106254_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"17.
