Meet Our Science & Medical Advisory Board

Our Medical Advisory Board is not compensated for their service. They serve, voluntarily, because they believe in our breakthrough technology and use our products with their clients.

The Science

Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant that impacts nearly every function in your body. It detoxifies your body's cells and it also recycles itself to increase the effectiveness of other antioxidants (Vitamins C, D, etc). Glutathione is one of the most studied molecules in the world.

HydraStat Nanotechnology™

The molecules in many supplements are too large to be absorbed by the cell, so they get excreted from the body without being used effectively. Our water-enveloped, nanosized ingredients are small enough to be fully absorbed into the human cell.
