Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study seeks to determine the short-term effects of daily oral supplementation with a new micellar Glutathione formulation (LipoMicel) on the oral absorption and safety of glutathione in healthy volunteers.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the pharmacokinetics of a novel micellar Glutathione (GSH) formulation with that of a standard formulation as well as a liposomal GSH formulation. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of a new micellar GSH formulation with higher bioavailability in human participants over a 30-day study period.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

Participants are randomly assigned to interventions in a crossover design to assess the pharmacokinetics over 24 hours; subsequently, the safety of one intervention with higher bioavailability is evaluated in an additional single-arm, 30-day trial.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Liposomal Glutathione

Each participant receives their treatment i.e., Liposomal Glutathione hard gel capsules at a total dose of 500 mg glutathione. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water (approx. 125mL), followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at different time points up to 24 hours post-dose.

A washout period of at least 14 days between each treatment is used.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Liposomal Glutathione

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

A maximum single dose of 500 mg glutathione (hard gel capsules)

Standard Glutathione

Each participant receives their treatment i.e., Standard Glutathione hard gel capsules at a total dose of 500 mg glutathione. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water (approx. 125mL), followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at different time points up to 24 hours post-dose.

A washout period of at least 14 days between each treatment is used.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Standard Glutathione

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

A maximum single dose of 500 mg glutathione (hard gel capsules)

New Micellar Glutathione (Lipomicel)

Each participant receives their treatment i.e., LipoMicel Glutathione soft gel capsules at a total dose of 600 mg glutathione. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water (approx. 125mL), followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at different time points up to 24 hours post-dose.

A washout period of at least 14 days between each treatment is used.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

New Micellar Glutathione (Lipomicel)

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

A maximum single dose of 600 mg glutathione (soft gel capsules)
