OPITAC™ – what is it and why is it used in dietary supplements?
There is a substance that your body produces itself, which science calls "the body's master antioxidant" – and which most people have never heard of. It is called glutathione. And OPITAC™ is the patented, reduced form that actually makes a difference.
In this guide, we explain what OPITAC™ is, how it works at a cellular level – and why Skytrition chose to include a full 500 mg of it in VitalUP.
Glutathione – the antioxidant your body already knows
Unlike vitamin C or vitamin E, glutathione is not something you need to convince your body about. It produces it itself – in every cell, around the clock. It is a tripeptide of three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Simple in its structure. Powerful in its function.
The problem? With age, stress, intense exercise, and exposure to environmental toxins, the body's own glutathione levels drop. And when they drop – you notice it. In your energy. In your recovery. In how the body handles oxidative stress.
What does glutathione actually do?
Glutathione is not a one-time fix. It is a system:
- 🛡️ Neutralizes free radicals – directly in the cells, where the damage occurs
- 🪴 Supports liver detoxification – binds to toxins and helps the body eliminate them
- ♻️ Reactivates vitamin C and E – extends the effect of other antioxidants
- 🦠 Strengthens the immune system – white blood cells need glutathione to function optimally
- ⚡ Protects the mitochondria – your cells' power plants, which drive all energy production
Why OPITAC™ – and not just any glutathione?
This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff. Ordinary glutathione in powder form is often broken down in the gastrointestinal tract before it reaches the cells. It's like sending a letter that never arrives.
OPITAC™ is a registered trademark of Mitsubishi Corporation Life Sciences Limited – one of the world's most respected life science companies. It represents reduced glutathione (GSH) of the highest purity and quality, developed with strict quality control and documented research behind it.
Reduced glutathione is the biologically active form – the form the body can actually use immediately. Not oxidized. Not inactive. Active, ready, and reliable.
Dual power: OPITAC™ + NAC
In VitalUP, Skytrition has combined OPITAC™ with 1,200 mg of NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine) – and that is no coincidence. NAC is the most important building block for the body's own glutathione production.
This means you get a two-front attack:
- OPITAC™ provides direct reduced glutathione
- NAC gives the body raw material to produce more on its own
Add BioPerine® (black pepper extract) which optimizes bioavailability – and you have a formula that leaves nothing to chance.
Who needs OPITAC™?
Short answer: anyone who takes their health seriously. But especially:
- 🏋️ Active people and athletes – intense exercise increases oxidative stress dramatically
- 🌿 Health-conscious individuals – who want to give their body the best possible protection
- 🧓 Those aging – glutathione levels drop naturally with age
- 🏥 Those with demanding lifestyles – stress, poor sleep, and environmental toxins deplete glutathione reserves
500 mg of OPITAC™ in Skytrition's VitalUP
When Skytrition formulated VitalUP – Liver & Kidney Support, the choice was simple: only the best will do. That is why we chose OPITAC™ from Mitsubishi – in a dose of 500 mg per daily serving, which is among the highest on the Swedish market.
Combined with astragalus, artichoke extract, grape seed extract, and CurcuPrime®, VitalUP is a complete formula for those who want to give their liver and kidneys what they deserve.
Your body works around the clock to protect you. OPITAC™ helps it do it better.
