Glutathione is now considered as whitening ingredient that can beautify our skin. Before it was known as most potent
antioxidant
that could help to protect our cells from damaging as a sign of skin aging.
Glutathione is involved in detoxification- it combines to toxins such as heavy metals, solvents and pesticides and transform them into a form that can be excreted in urine or bile. Now, the side effects of glutathione can make a person''s skin more whiter. The whitening will take effects if the oral in take of these supplements would be in larger amount. It would be more effective if you will take it with Vitamin C in double dosages. "Glutathione is
too large a molecule to effectively pass through the intestine into cells, so
supplementing with glutathione alone is not
helpful. But when taken with Vitamin C, which protects it from oxidative
damage, Glutathione becomes effective." -
