Glutathione - A Benefit Of Skin Whitening by iyongo: 9:13am On Sep 20, 2014
If you’re like most people you’ve never heard of Glutathione however, Glutathione is actually fairly popular in Asian countries like Japan and China, particularly with women.
Glutathione is typically used for skin whitening, and as a product, that’s where it really shines but, it can be very helpful with a number of other skin issues as well.
If you’re considering using skin whitening products but you’re afraid of potential side effects, you should give Glutathione some consideration. It’s effective when it comes to whitening the skin quickly, and it’s widely regarded as a safe way to whiten the skin.
What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is an antioxidant made from glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine. While Glutathione is prepared like any cosmetic or vitamin product – in a safe, sterile laboratory setting – it is made of all-natural amino acids that occur in nature and are beneficial to our bodies.
In fact, Glutathione can be found in many healthy foods that people eat on a regular basis, some of which are actually considered among the healthiest foods in the world.
Walnuts, avocados, tomatoes and oranges can all help to keep Glutathione levels high in the bloodstream, though they won’t actually work to whiten your skin and, contribute to healthy skin – especially walnuts and avocados, which are also high in essential fatty acids.
Glutathione is commonly taken in pill form, and injection. Glutathione pills are hugely successful in Japan, particularly for women that just want to have lighter skin than they were born with without the side effects that some topical treatments have.
It can also be taken via intravenous injection. While many dermatologists recommend Glutathione injections because they get 100-percent of the dose into your bloodstream, regular injections can be expensive. Glutathione injections are highly effective.

How Does Glutathione Work?

Glutathione works in a very simple way, yet other skin whitening products can’t compete with the all-natural amino acid compound. Simply put, Glutathione works to clear the body of free radicals and toxins that can lead to serious skin problems like hyperpigmentation and melasma, as well as more common ones like sun spots.

Do I Have to Have Bad Skin?

One common misconception about skin whitening – at least in the United States — is that you have to have bad skin to use them. However, Glutathione can be extremely beneficial for people that would just prefer a slightly lighter complexion. In fact, many women that have flawless skin use Glutathione on a regular basis to help maintain their excellent complexion.
Glutathione can also give people with minor skin imperfections an overall better look by reducing the appearance of red spots and any rough patches that may exist. Many women use Glutathione exclusively to get smoother, more touchable skin.

Additional Benefits of Glutathione

While Glutathione is most commonly used by women looking to whiten their skin, it may have a beneficial effect for women that have cystic acne, acne-prone skin or even the occasional breakout.
Glutathione won’t help hormone-related acne in most cases since it doesn’t affect hormone levels in the body like birth control pills or injections, which are commonly prescribed for women with hormonal acne.
There is some evidence that taking Glutathione could actually help to improve a weak immune system or make a healthy immune system even stronger.

Results vary from person to person – glutathione skin whitening effect can be achieved anywhere between 1 month to 3 months of daily oral supplementation, suggested dosages are 500-1,000 mg/day. Oral glutathione is usually well tolerated because it is a protein that simply gets broken down during digestion. Higher doses (3,000 mg = 3 g) produce no side effects either.

Research:
A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study by the dermatological team, department of medicine, Chulalongkorn University, in April 2012, lead the dermatological research team to conclude that administration of Glutathione orally or intravenously results to skin lightening with no known side effect.

Rubbish.. u cn say wt eva u want to say to sell ur product....nd why didn't u tell dem dt Glutathione come mainly in form of drug or injection

Let me tell u Hw it works, I wuld mk this as easy as I culd so dt evribodi wuld understand.


D blk pigment in our skin is called "melanin" wt differential blk Frm whites is d presence of melanin in blacks.....


Now what Glutathione does is it kills d melanin in d skin, a condition similar to wt contributed to d death of Pop king Micheal jackson ( a condition where by d immune system strt destroyin d melanin in his body)


Wts d function of melanin... too numerous to mention, I wuld just tlk abt 2 of dem

1. We all knw dt early morning sun dt we usually called "vitamin D" it's d melanin in our skin dt enables us tap d viatmin D for proper formation of bones nd teeth, deficiency of this cause "weak" or "fragile" bones... a very serious medical condition

2. We all knw d issue wt our ozone layer, melanin also helps in bouncin of dangerous radiation Frm hiting out very much deligate internal organs.... there by preventin us Frm cancer!!!!!


Wht I am sayin in essence is this bleaching is bad wt u use cream or Glutathione it's bad!!!

No man wants to marry a bleaching tin....

To me d only reason to bleach is either u re a runs girl or u b okpo.. u re using it to push business!!
