Skeptical these are legit; inside tastes like vitamin c
To start off, I have used several brands of liposomal glutathione and have made my own many times when I had access to the right solvent, so I am very familiar with the taste and smell of glutathione. Also, being chronically ill, it is the supplement that makes or breaks my health, so I know when it’s not working. Specifically, I have a genetic variant where I do not produce much glutathione on my own.
I have taken these for several days, switching from another brand, at two softgels per day, and they do not seem to work at all. All the benefits I was getting from the other brand vanished once I started these.
The most obvious signs that glutathione is working for me are my skin is not oily, and my stool smells like sulfur (basically smells like glutathione). Since I started taking these my skin has gotten oily again, my stool does not smell like sulfur, and my energy and health have started to slip somewhat. Even taking 250mg of the other brand was vastly better than 500mg of this.
The point of any glutathione softgel is that you don’t have to taste or smell it, but I decided to break one open to see if they were real.
Whatever is in this is NOT glutathione. It has almost no smell and it tastes just like liposomal C — another thing I have made myself before, which is also a much cheaper product this same company sells for half the price.
I am already taking liposomal c from another brand, which would explain why I didn’t see any benefit from this regardless. But given that liposomal C does have its own great health benefits, I am very suspicious that is why people are still leaving good reviews. The results are real, people are not lying — but I suspect they don’t know they’re being sold something way cheaper than what they paid for, that does not do all the things they paid for, and is generally not as good as what they paid for.
I was considering buying their liposomal C and B complex softgels, but not anymore. I don’t trust this company.
