Why this matters
Compare topical and transdermal glutathione claims and the evidence behind them.
How the pieces connect
Applying something to skin and getting it into the blood are different claims. Evidence for one preparation does not prove another works the same way.
Topical and transdermal are different claims
A product placed on the skin is topical; a claim of delivery through the skin asks a further question about penetration and absorption. Dr. Purser discusses delivery technology, but a description of the technology does not answer every question about dose reaching a target tissue. Comparisons also need to specify whether researchers measured skin effects, blood levels or a clinical outcome. Results from one route should not automatically be applied to another.
Keep in mind
A patent or delivery claim tells you about a product idea, not whether it treats disease. Ask for evidence about the specific formulation and the health outcome you care about.
A question for your next conversation
What was measured after application: a skin effect, absorption or a clinical outcome?
