Oral Liposomal Glutathione GMO-freeExperience the only liposomal glutathione that you squeeze onto a teaspoon and enjoy. No need to mix in juice. Natural orange flavor & GMO-free
High DoseEach serving offers:• 450 mg of reduced glutathione• 50 mg of Vitamin C
Heat StableWe contracted with a third party lab to subject Tri-Fortify™ Orange to the most extreme conditions: 104˚F and 75% humidity for 90 consecutive days. The result: product met and exceeded the nutrient content on the label.

Liposomal 1,500 mg Vitamin C & R-Lipoic AcidHigh Absorption, No Stomach DistressEach serving contains 1500 mg of Vitamin C and 70 mg of R-Lipoic Acid in a natural, GMO-free liposomal preparation. As most oral Vitamin C doses above 250 mg are very poorly absorbed, the only efficacious high dose oral delivery system is via liposomes from natural phosphatidyl choline. Many doctors supplement in-office Vitamin C drips with C-RLA™ so the patients continue to receive the benefit of high-dose Vitamin C without stomach distress.
Power-packed AntioxidantHigh dose Vitamin C plus pure R-Lipoic Acid provides unparalleled antioxidant support.* R-Lipoic Acid, the “mitochondrial antioxidant”, promotes healthy levels of oxidative stress & mitochondrial energy producing capability.*
