Glutathione with Vitamin C combines two of the body’s premier antioxidant, anti-toxin nutrients. Reduced glutathione is a major water-phase antioxidant inside the cell, while Vitamin C (ascorbate) is a major water-phase antioxidant outside the cell. Glutathione with Vitamin C supports phase II detoxification in the liver and is hypoallergenic.* The liver is the body’s main detoxification organ; it reacts potentially toxic foreign chemicals such as bromobenzene, carbon tetrachloride and acetaminophen with water-soluble antioxidants to render toxins water-soluble, then excretes them mainly via bile and the urine.* Vitamin C is the body’s most important water-soluble antioxidant nutrient. It supports the action of glutathione (one of the body’s most powerful antioxidants) by keeping it in reduced form. Glutathione, in return, spares vitamin C.* Vitamin C is involved in a variety of biochemical reactions, including detoxification and inflammation processes, white blood cell production, and the metabolism and protection of several other nutrients. Vitamin C prevents free radical damage through its antioxidant activity. Vitamin C is also crucial for the production of adrenal hormones involved in responding to stress. Through its effect on histamine release and degradation (anti-histamine effect), vitamin C helps in the control of some inflammatory reactions. It is also involved in detoxifying heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury and nickel.* Vitamin C is important in the structure and function of the immune and cardiovascular systems, in maintaining bone mineral density, and in the production of some neurotransmitters. Vitamin C is also crucial for the structure of the body, since it is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis. A deficiency of Vitamin C has long been known to be involved with incidence of scurvy.* Glutathione is a powerful tripeptide antioxidant that inhibits the formation of free radicals, and is thought to be the most important cellular antioxidant. It has been shown to protect against damage from cigarette smoke, radiation, chemotherapy, and x-rays. Glutathione spares vitamin C and can assist in detoxification from alcohol, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals. Glutathione is also involved in the regulation of DNA repair.* Glutathione has been shown to reduce homocysteine levels, thus potentially supporting cardiovascular health. A Taiwanese study found that both vitamin C and glutathione, along with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (a precursor to glutathione) were instrumental in the maintenance of oral mucosal health among betel quid chewers.*

According to Taber’s Medical Dictionary, “hypoallergenic” is defined as: “Diminished potential for causing an allergic reaction”. We define hypoallergenic as “free of all common allergens,” specifically: wheat, corn, soy, gluten, yeast, dairy, and eggs. Many very sensitive individuals who react to supplements in general are able to tolerate NutriCology products.
Since our inception in 1979 we have been using only the purest, and whenever possible, the lowest allergy potential natural ingredients. While many of the nutrients in our formulas are synthesized from natural substances (plant sources), which as a whole may contain antigens, the synthesizing process removes the molecules of the desired nutrient from the original substance, and in the processing, a great percentage of the antigens and allergens are left behind. The final material then has extremely low allergy potential.
This is not to say that no one will react to any of our hypoallergenic formulas, as some extremely sensitive people may. However, the potential for an allergic reaction is low, and the feedback from many of our extremely allergic and sensitive customers is that NutriCology supplements are often the only products they are able to tolerate.
New Allergen Labeling Regulations
As a result of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, effective January 1, 2006, the FDA requires manufacturers to identify the presence of eight major food allergens on all product labels.
The term “major food allergen” means any of the following:
• milk
• egg
• fish
• crustacean shellfish
• tree nuts
• peanuts
• wheat
• soybeans
• any ingredient derived from the above listed foods
It is important to understand that while an ingredient may have been derived from a common allergen, we are required by law to list that allergen on the label as a source of the ingredient, even if it does not contain any of the actual substance. For example, 100%-pure glucosamine sulfate does not contain any actual shellfish, but we are required to indicate the source material (shrimp, crab, lobster) on the label. Full Disclosure Labeling
Nutricology fully discloses all ingredients, both active and inactive on every product label, so you can make fully informed choices. Vegetarian Capsules
Nutricology is currently in the process of converting most of our existing products to vegetarian capsules, and all new products are being made with vegetarian capsules. |

NutriCology fully discloses all ingredients, both active and inactive, on every product label, so you can make fully informed choices for your patients.
Furthermore, the following is a list of inactive ingredients used in some of our products. These may be called fillers and/or excipients as defined by the Food Chemical Codex. These are nutrient compounds which are utilized for their physical properties to aid in the supplement production process. They are derived from edible sources and are generally free of common allergens. To determine which natural additives are included in a specific product, please refer to the supplement facts panel.Cellulose Powder is derived from fibrous plant material, is insoluble in water and is used as a filler. In addition to being used as a filler, cellulose powder is sold as an individual supplement as a pure insoluble fiber, and is extremely well tolerated. Silicon Dioxide, or silica, is one of the most common chemical compounds. Silica plays an important role in biological processes. Most rocks and minerals are made of silicon dioxide and other minerals. Silica is insoluble in water and is used for its drying properties. Stearic Acid is an 18 carbon, naturally occurring saturated fatty acid. It is a component of membrane structure and is utilized for its lubricating properties. Magnesium Stearate contains stearic acid and magnesium palmitate, which is magnesium salt of a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid, also common in membrane structure. It is also utilized for its lubricating properties. Dicalcium phosphate (calcium phosphate, dibasic) is a white, odorless, tasteless powder that is stable in air. It is practically insoluble in water, but is readily soluble in hydrochloric acid. L-leucine is an essential branched-chain amino acid, found in almost all animal and vegetable proteins. As an excipient in our formulas, pharmaceutical grade L-leucine is presented in minute amounts and is used as a lubricant. |
