Abstract
The present invention relates to methods of neutralizing or dissipating the electrostatic charge of glutathione so as to render it susceptible to be included in high glutathione content solid dosage forms. Capsules and tablets including high levels of glutathione are also described.
Claims20
An oral dosage form consisting essentially of glutathione and an amount of crystalline ascorbic acid effective to neutralize the electrostatic charge of said glutathione.
The oral dosage form of claim wherein said glutathione is present in an amount of at least about 250 mg.
An oral dosage form consisting essentially of glutathione and an amount of crystalline ascorbic acid effective to neutralize the electrostatic charge of said glutathione and an amount of buffering agent effective to buffer the effects of said crystalline ascorbic acid on the digestive tract of a human.
A method of dissipating the electrostatic charge of glutathione so as to render it capable of being formed into a high glutathione content solid dosage form comprising the steps of:
- providing glutathione;
- providing crystalline ascorbic acid in a amount effective to dissipate the electrostatic charge of said glutathione;
- and
- mixing said glutathione and said crystalline ascorbic acid for a time sufficient to dissipate said electrostatic charge of said glutathione.
