What it is: Liposomal Glutathione + Lemon Mint is a professional-grade, highly bioavailable oral glutathione formula developed by Quicksilver Scientific, delivering 100 mg of Opitac™ Glutathione — a pharmaceutical-grade, reduced L-glutathione (GSH) — per 1 mL serving in Quicksilver Scientific's proprietary liposomal phosphatidylcholine delivery system using purified sunflower seed lecithin. Opitac™ is a registered trademark reduced glutathione of exceptional purity produced by Kyowa Hakko Bio — the same manufacturer responsible for the gold-standard Kyowa Quality® pharmaceutical amino acid and peptide ingredients — ensuring consistent purity, identity, and biological activity far above standard supplement-grade glutathione sources. The liposomal phosphatidylcholine matrix (75 mg per serving from purified sunflower seed lecithin) encapsulates glutathione within nanoscale phospholipid vesicles that protect the reduced GSH from oxidative degradation in the gastrointestinal environment and enable direct absorption through oral mucosal membranes during sublingual hold — dramatically improving systemic bioavailability compared to conventional unformulated oral glutathione, which is extensively degraded by intestinal glutathione-specific enzymes before reaching systemic circulation. Flavored with natural citrus and mint oils and designated as Quicksilver Scientific's "Master Detoxifier," this formula is designed for professional practitioner-directed use across detoxification, antioxidant, immune, neurological, and hepatic support protocols.
How it works: Liposomal Glutathione + Lemon Mint elevates systemic reduced glutathione (GSH) levels through the superior bioavailability of its liposomal delivery mechanism, providing the foundational tripeptide antioxidant and detoxification cofactor that is central to virtually every cellular protective system in the body. Glutathione (L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant and the primary Phase II hepatic detoxification cofactor in human physiology — present in millimolar concentrations in liver hepatocytes where it conjugates with reactive electrophilic toxins, heavy metals, drug metabolites, and environmental xenobiotics through glutathione-S-transferase-mediated conjugation, rendering them water-soluble for biliary or urinary excretion. As a direct free radical scavenger, GSH neutralizes reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species through its reactive thiol (-SH) group, protecting cellular membranes, mitochondrial DNA, and protein thiol groups from oxidative modification — with intracellular GSH depletion associated with accelerated cellular aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and compromised immune surveillance. GSH regenerates oxidized forms of vitamins C and E from their radical states back to their active antioxidant forms — amplifying the cellular antioxidant network capacity significantly beyond what glutathione alone would achieve. In immune function, GSH supports natural killer cell cytotoxic activity, T-lymphocyte proliferation, and dendritic cell function — with immune cell GSH status being a direct determinant of immune surveillance capacity. In neurological tissue, GSH is the primary antioxidant protecting dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and cortical neurons from the oxidative stress implicated in neurodegenerative progression. The liposomal phosphatidylcholine delivery — using Quicksilver Scientific's QDS® nanoscale vesicle technology and Opitac™ high-purity reduced GSH — provides dramatically superior intracellular GSH repletion compared to both conventional oral glutathione capsules and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) supplementation, which requires endogenous enzymatic conversion before contributing to GSH pools.
When to use it: Liposomal Glutathione + Lemon Mint is appropriate for practitioner-directed use in adult clients requiring direct, highly bioavailable glutathione repletion for detoxification support, antioxidant defense, immune function, hepatic protection, heavy metal burden support, neurological resilience, and cellular aging protection. It is particularly well-suited for integration into detoxification protocols including mold exposure recovery, heavy metal chelation support, chemical sensitivity programs, post-pharmaceutical hepatic recovery, and environmental toxin burden reduction — where Phase II glutathione conjugation pathway capacity is a primary limiting factor for effective toxin clearance. One serving (1 mL / 2 pumps) held in the mouth for 30–90 seconds before swallowing on an empty stomach supports optimal mucosal absorption and systemic GSH delivery. Dose may be individualized upward based on clinical indication and practitioner assessment. Refrigeration upon receipt is recommended to preserve glutathione reduced state integrity.

Key Ingredients
Opitac™ Glutathione — 100 mg Opitac™ is a pharmaceutical-grade, reduced L-glutathione (GSH) produced by Kyowa Hakko Bio — the manufacturer of gold-standard Kyowa Quality® pharmaceutical amino acid and nucleotide ingredients — providing exceptional purity, identity verification, and biological activity consistency that distinguishes it from standard supplement-grade glutathione sources. As the predominant intracellular antioxidant tripeptide in human physiology — present in millimolar concentrations in liver, erythrocytes, and immune cells — reduced glutathione (GSH) functions as the primary Phase II hepatic detoxification conjugating agent through glutathione-S-transferase, neutralizing electrophilic reactive intermediates from Phase I CYP450 metabolism, heavy metals, environmental xenobiotics, and drug metabolites for safe biliary or urinary excretion. Beyond its detoxification cofactor role, GSH provides direct free radical scavenging through its reactive cysteine thiol group, regenerates oxidized vitamins C and E to their active antioxidant forms — amplifying the entire cellular antioxidant network — supports natural killer cell and T-lymphocyte function in immune surveillance, and protects the substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons and cortical tissue from the oxidative stress implicated in neurodegeneration. Delivered in the Quicksilver Scientific QDS® liposomal phosphatidylcholine matrix, Opitac™ GSH achieves dramatically superior cellular repletion compared to unformulated oral glutathione — which is extensively degraded by intestinal gamma-glutamyl transferase and peptidases before reaching systemic circulation — and provides faster, more direct intracellular glutathione elevation than the enzymatic NAC-to-GSH conversion pathway requires.
Phosphatidylcholine (from purified sunflower seed lecithin) — 75 mg Phosphatidylcholine from purified sunflower seed lecithin serves as the primary structural phospholipid of Quicksilver Scientific's liposomal delivery matrix — forming the nanoscale phospholipid bilayer vesicles that encapsulate Opitac™ glutathione in a membrane-like structure mimicking the natural phospholipid architecture of cell membranes. This phospholipid encapsulation protects reduced glutathione from oxidative degradation and enzymatic hydrolysis in the gastrointestinal environment, enabling intact GSH delivery across the mucosal membrane during sublingual hold through a fusion mechanism with mucosal epithelial cell membranes — dramatically improving systemic bioavailability compared to conventional oral glutathione formulations. The sunflower seed source of lecithin ensures this delivery matrix is entirely soy-free — a clinically important distinction for clients with soy sensitivity, autoimmune conditions, or dietary protocols requiring soy avoidance — while providing phosphatidylcholine as a co-delivered nutrient that supports neuronal membrane integrity, hepatic phospholipid metabolism, and bile composition alongside its primary role as a liposomal delivery vehicle for glutathione.
