Jason interviews Dr. Nyan Patel about 26 years of research on peptides and glutathione, which Patel describes as a “worker bee” peptide that does work rather than signaling. Patel explains why oral, liposomal, and even IV glutathione fail to reliably reach cells, and how he developed a topical, polysaccharide-based delivery method that transfers cell-to-cell and uses mucosal routes, with skin as the most practical. They discuss glutathione decline starting around ages 30–35, lifestyle and environmental depleters (alcohol, smoke, pollutants, detergents), and Patel’s view that boosting levels can improve health span. The conversation transitions to Patel’s new skincare products, including GHK copper tripeptide, vitamin C “citrine,” and simplified serums/creams designed for absorption, plus practical advice on hydration and sleep.
