As an Antioxidant
Glutathione (GSH) is your body A.I.D. (A-antioxidant, I- immune system, D- detoxifier). It is a small protein molecule formed from the amino acids cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. It is produced normally by the body in response to today’s environment such as pollution in the air we breath, water we drink, chemicals & pesticides in the food we eat that cause damages in our cells & system.
Glutathione is often referred to as Master Anti-oxidant in the body.

“small molecule made up of linked amino acids and anti-oxidant naturally produced in the body. It has been widely heralded for its importance for good health and long life. Glutathione in increased dose posts an remarkable good ‘side effect’ such as SKIN WHITENING”.
It's skin whitening regimen (whitening capsule) has been widely used in Asia and has been reported to be the Asian Most Prescribed Oral Skin Whitener among the skin whitening products. And often referred to as bleaching pill, bleaching capsule, whitening pill or whitening capsule in Asia. There are several L Glutathione preparations in the market but not all can really guarantee a good result.
“the greater the exposure to toxins, the faster the body uses up its supply glutathione. Without the protection of Glutathione, cells die at a faster rate, making people age quicker & putting them at risk for toxin induced diseases including cancer”
Glutathione is considered to be the most powerful, most versatile, and most important of the body’s self-generated antioxidants.
Among glutathione’s many important properties are:
1) Is found in almost all living cells. The liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, and the lens and cornea, have the highest concentrations in the body.
2) It is a powerful antioxidant and thus neutralizes free radicals and prevents their formation
3) Important role in immune function via white blood cell production and is one of the most potent anti-viral agents known.
4) It is one of the strongest anti-cancer agents manufactured by the body,
5) Glutathione is able to reduce oxidized Vitamin C and Vitamin E back to their unoxidized state,
6) It is used by the liver to detoxify many toxins including formaldehyde, acetaminophen, benzpyrene and many other compounds and plays a key role in Phase I and Phase II detoxification reactions
7) It is an antioxidant necessary for the protection of proteins; is involved in nucleic acid synthesis and plays a role in DNA repair,
8) It maintains the cellular redox potential
9) Glutathione levels decrease with age. It is involved in cellular differentiation and slows the aging process
10) Protects the integrity of red blood cells
11) Glutathione is involved in maintaining normal brain function
USES / BENEFITS OF L GLUTATHIONE
Good Health
• As your body’s MASTER ANTIOXIDANT -because glutathione participates directly in the destruction of reactive oxygen compounds. Glutathione destroys free radicals, is involved in the detoxification of foreign compounds and supports the normal active functioning of the immune system.
• Require in detoxifying nicotine
• Body’s defense against pollutants and ultraviolet radiation
• Highest concentration of glutathione is found in the liver w/c is the principal organ involved in the detoxification and elimination of toxic materials. Interestingly, glutathione also acts to reconstitutes vit C and E after they have been oxidized, and therefore plays a determinant role in their function. (Convert fat-soluble substances into water-soluble GSH conjugates, in order to facilitate their excretion). Its main purpose is to detoxify the liver of many harmful substances that accumulate over the years but cannot be purged naturally. These toxins include alcohol, heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium, and pesticides which glutathione extracts from the body so they can be expelled through urine or bile.
• Plays an important role in cancer prevention and treatment.
• “ANTI-AGING CAPSULE” by aiding in the breakdown of oxidized fats.
• Increases sperm count for men with low sperm counts.
• Low glutathione levels are found in immune compromised individuals, Neuro-degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ALS, Alzheimer, and Parkinson’s disease, arteriosclerosis, male infertility, pregnancy complications, cataracts, damage from many pharmaceutical drugs, cancer and poor survival rate for patients with AIDS.
• High levels of Glutathione appear to protect against the dangers of cancer, heart disease, premature aging, autoimmune disease and chronic illness.
• Protects individual cells & tissues of arteries, brain, heart, immune cells, kidneys, lens of eyes, liver, lungs and skin against oxidant damage.
Whitens Skin
Have you ever wondered how comes so many Black, Asian and Indian celebrities are all very light skinned? Have you wondered why early childhood photos of many top celebrities show a much darker skin color than they have now? Glutathione in INCREASED DOSE helps whiten skin by modifying conversion of eumelanine (dark/brown/yellow pigmentation) to phaeomelanin (reddish white pigmentation). This is the main reason whiter skin are produced. Most dermatologists in Asia uses and recommends Glutathione as a whitening capsule or bleaching pills that is were proven to be very safe and effective.
• In Asia, Glutathione is mostly used as whitening and anti aging pill mostly used by celebrities and models.
Recommended by dermatologist and skin care experts.
* Dark spots remover
* Prevents pimples and removes blemishes
* Whitens the skin / help cure MELASMA
* Anti-aging and anti-wrinkles (delaying the sign of aging)
* Makes skin stay supple, smooth, fresh and radiant
* Treats skin ulceration
* Enhance healing of wounds
* Nourishes skin
WHO NEEDS GLUTATHIONE?
Here are the people who will need L Glutathione supplement: smoker; alcohol drinker; those 40 years old and above; those who exercise excessively/body builders; low sperm count; those with liver problems; those with cataracts; those with MELASMA problem,those recovering from chemotherapy; those exposed to chemicals and pesticides; the immunocompromised; low immune system; those who want fairer and whiter skin; and consumers of fish oils.
IS IT SAFE IN THE LIVER?
Regarding the safety of glutathione in the liver, it is said that “the levels of glutathione in the liver is critically linked to the liver’s capacity to detoxify.” This means that the higher the glutathione content, the greater the liver’s capacity to detoxify harmful chemicals. Typically, when we are exposed to chemicals like alcohol which can damage the liver, the concentration of glutathione in the liver is substantially reduced. This reduction makes the liver susceptible to damage.
IS IT SAFE TO THOSE PERSONS WITH THYROID PROBLEMS? YES.
“…both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are associated with enhanced oxidative stress involving antioxidants.”
Reschu, Helsel, et. Al. November, 2002
“…has a direct relationship with free radical formation and inverse relationship with levels of erythrocute glutathione and glutathione peroxidase in human subjects.”
Turkish Journal of Endocrinology & Metabolism, Feb.,2001
TOXICITY:
No toxicities have been reported or suspected as being associated with glutathione.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
None known, except for use during some forms of chemotherapy and radiation where antioxidants are contraindicated due to their inhibition of the free radical formation which is an integral part of the therapeutic mechanism.
INTERACTIONS:
Nutrient affecting drug – CISPLATIN
Nutrient affected by drug and affecting drug – HALOPERIDOL
OVERDOSAGE
There have been no reports of glutathione overdosage in the literature.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Glutathione is available as a single ingredient dietary supplement or in combination products. Dosage ranges from 50 to 1000mg.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Oral doses of up to 1000 milligrams daily are well tolerated. There are no reports of adverse reactions.
WHAT IS THE DOSAGE?
ANTIOXIDANT/ ANTI-AGING:
10 mg-20mg/kg/day
Ex. 50kg male
50kg body weight x 10mg = 500 mg/day
SKIN WHITENING (double increased dose)
20-40 mg/kg/day
Ex. 50 kg female
50kg body wt x 30mg (median of 20 & 40) = 1500mg/ day in 3 divided doses
Duration of Intake for skin whitening:
If your skin is medium brown, take it for at least one to three months. A person with dark brown skin will need glutathione for at least three to six months. Those with very dark skin should take it for six to 12 months. A person with dark skin may need L-glutathione for at least two years or even more. Once a person has her desired skin color, the maintenance dose will just be 500mg once a day.
