Conversations Unplugged

with Dr. Nayan Patel

Join STEMREGEN Founder and Chief Science Officer Christian Drapeau in an eye-opening conversation with pharmacist, researcher, and Auro Wellness founder Dr. Nayan Patel—one of the leading minds behind transdermal glutathione delivery. In this episode, Dr. Patel explains why glutathione, often called the body’s “master antioxidant,” is critical for managing oxidative stress, detoxification, and even stem cell activity—and why traditional oral or IV methods fall short. He unveils the science behind a novel, topical delivery system that brings glutathione directly into the cells, changing the game for anyone looking to optimize cellular function and recovery.

Dr. Nayan Patel

Glutathione is one of the body’s most important compounds—present in nearly every cell, with especially high concentrations in the liver. But as Dr. Patel explains, supplementing with glutathione has always been a challenge. The molecule is too large to survive digestion, and even intravenous delivery only offers temporary benefits. His breakthrough came from solving two key challenges: how to penetrate the skin barrier, and more importantly, how to cross the cellular membrane. Through patented transdermal delivery and sugar-based encapsulation (a “Trojan horse” approach), his formulation enables glutathione to enter cells directly—without the need for needles or IVs.

Throughout the conversation, Christian and Dr. Patel explore how the body’s need for glutathione doesn’t decrease with age—in fact, it often increases as oxidative stress builds. Yet the body’s ability to produce glutathione declines due to reduced ATP production, diminished enzyme activity, and lower availability of key amino acids. This creates a widening gap that, left unchecked, contributes to fatigue, immune dysfunction, and cellular breakdown. Dr. Patel’s delivery system is designed to bridge that gap in real time—bringing glutathione levels up within 15 to 45 minutes of application.

One of the most intriguing parts of the discussion is how oxidative stress directly affects stem cell activity. Stem cells thrive in low-oxidative environments, and Dr. Patel explains how glutathione preloading is already being used by regenerative medicine practitioners worldwide to increase the availability of circulating stem cells. This sets the stage for a powerful synergy: using glutathione to optimize the cellular environment, and STEMREGEN to mobilize stem cells—a one-two punch that supports the body’s innate repair system on both fronts.

The conversation closes with practical insights. Dr. Patel outlines how to use the product (just 4 sprays twice daily), what side effects to watch for, and how to adjust your dosage based on lifestyle, stress, or environmental exposure. The key message? It’s not just about raising glutathione levels—it’s about helping the body do more with what it already has. In that way, both Dr. Patel’s technology and STEMREGEN share the same philosophy: support the body, and the body knows what to do.
