Healing Through Innovation: Sophie Reed’s Journey & the Science Behind HINNAO Technology

with Sophie Reed · 2 September 2026

In this episode, Dr Ash Kapoor welcomes Sophie Reed to the Levitas clinic in London to discuss her remarkable health journey and the innovation behind HINNAO Nanosol products.

Sophie shares how a severe climbing injury at age 40 led to a slipped disc that paralysed her leg, forcing her to take an active role in her own rehabilitation and healing process.

Through her research, she discovered the power of glutathione for nerve damage repair, but soon realised that traditional oral supplements are destroyed by stomach acids before they can be absorbed.

The conversation dives into the groundbreaking science of HINNAO’s Nanocell technology, which was developed by a team of PhD scientists and pharmacists with over 40 years of experience.

Sophie explains how they managed to nanocise glutathione and encapsulate it in an MCT oil base that mimics a human cell membrane.

These liquid drops are designed for sublingual absorption, passing through the mucous membrane under the tongue to enter the bloodstream in seconds rather than hours.

This bypasses the gut entirely, which is essential for patients whose digestive systems may be compromised by stress or the gut-brain axis.
