Does gutathione really whiten skin?

Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidant in plants, animals fungus and bacteria. This glutathione is capable   of preventing damage to your body such as free radicals, heavy metals, in such way it act as best anti-oxidant for your body.

And for that today’s GLUTATHEONE name chemical are majorly discussed and used in form of tablets, liquids, creams and lotion. So today we discuss all about glutathione. Is glutathione really helps in it?

So let’s understand all about GULTATHEONE:

Our skin colour is majorly depend on many different factors like

• Genetics
• Melanin ( it is the main pigment into our body which give colour to our skin, eye, hair)
• Carotene
• Haemoglobin

It means more melanin darker the skin and this melanin naturally increased after exposure to sun in form of tanning. Melanin is majorly protecting our skin from harsh ultra-violet rays.

Now we understand how glutathione help our skin in looking more lightening and fairer:

Glutathione is natural anti-oxidant present in plants, animals, fungus and bacteria’s. You can also known glutathione as master anti-oxidant. Glutathione is made up by combination of three main amino acids are cystine, glycine and glutamine acid.

Intravenous glutathione was previously used in treatment of severe liver toxicity and neurotoxicity. And it was founded that during treatment people who were under treatment of glutathione their skin colour become fairer and lighter than before.

• The chemical act as an anti-melanogenic chemical.
• In glutathione sulphur is also present which attach to harmful chemicals present inside our body, and discard this chemical out of our body.
• It also whitening skin.
• Glutathione also help in different cellular function of body.
• Glutathione is super powerful anti-oxidant, it protect our body from free radicals and heavy metals.
• It also helps to increased immunity.

How it helps to make skin fairer: 

Glutathione is all ready present inside our body naturally in oxidise or natural form, and work differently according to its presence. Glutathione controlled tyrosinase enzyme which help in melanin synthesis, and as and result our skin become fair and light. It also contain anti-ageing properties, glutathione is widely used for anti-ageing treatment.

How to take glutathione?

There are so many different ways glutathione given

• Orally
• Intravenous
• Tropical

The action of glutathione will depend on which way it administers into body.

1. Oral glutathione:

Orally it is available in form of liquid, tablets, capsule, and spray. But the major problem in oral consumption is absorption; glutathione is not easily absorbed in blood. It is always advice to take it on empty stomach for better abortion. Always take it with VITAMIN C

2. Tropical glutathione:

Tropical mean we can apply it on skin in form of cream, lotion, gels, spray, serum even soaps are also available. This you can apply on your skin directly.

3. Intra-venous:

In this method, directly glutathione apply in form of IV injections in your body through your blood. Always administer glutathione IV injection under expert doctor’s supervision because it is directly goes in your blood stream and help in maximum absorption. So this method is highly used in skin whitening treatment.

What medical research says about glutathione?

Is it really help full for skin whitening is not scientifically proved, it was accidentally find that during different treatment in which glutathione given people’s melanin index decreased. And intravenous method is found highly effective method. But these all studies are in very small sample size data, and proper follow up also missing for perfect result. So there are no proper scientific reliable data of glutathione on skin whitening. It is approved drug for severe liver toxicity and kidney toxicity but not for skin lightening. And the other thing all results you find during treatment are reversible, mean once you stop taking glutathione your skin colour will again change to its natural form. So continuous maintenance (you have to repeat the dose again and again), for years. Glutathione treatment is very costly so patient can’t afford it for long time. And there is no research available of long time administration of glutathione in our body. What is the side effect of glutathione is still not studied, so at same time it is very risky to take this treatment. In some patient severe allergic reactions found after IV administration. There is no scientific proved dose of glutathione for this treatment. So taken glutathione is very risky and may be life-threatening. There is no scientific base dose approved for this treatment. There is not 100% guarantee of the result, so as end result most of doctors and dermatologist avoid to promote this treatment and even not give this treatment. Most of pharmaceutical companies used this as marketing gimmick because in our country India more attracted toward fairer skin. Most of people take this treatment in beauty parlours, which is not given by professionals. But it is not advisable. So it is advisable to take it only dermatologist guidance but that is also on your own risk. But are you actuary ready to risk your life only for fairer and lighter skin? There are so many other ways for it so my advice is first consult your doctor and then only go for such therapy.
