This is to warn these buyers of Glutathione from overseas, this includes my sister who have been scammed by this United Shelter Company from the Philipines. My sister has been ordering from the so called United Shelter of this so called Lucida-DS, promising her of skin whitening within 6-8 weeks, she's been taking Lucida-ds for more than 3 months religiously, 4 capsules a day to NO AVAIL.
I was to use it too but she volunteered to do it first and see if it's working, so I decided to have my husband test an unopened bottle of Lucida-DS, FYI my husband works as a Lab technician and I have him test this so called Lucida-DS whom they claimed passed the assay testing (in the Philippines), well what do you know?????
Results came out, and it has barely 200mg of glutathione in the capsule, the rest are all Vitamin c, ALA and another untraceable ingredient, maybe a preservative or who knows..
We forwarded the results to the FDA because they claim that Lucida-DS is being manufactured in the USA., so whoever is the so called Manufacturer will be in for a real treat!
Hopefully these scammers will be banned from selling their fake and adultereated Glutathione here in the US.
They can keep their business there in the Philipines where they belong..a bunch of scammers!
They had the nerve to use Made in the USA on their products, now I believe that they only use Made in the USA to entice US customers, because knowing us, we will never take anything that says, made in the Philippines esp. if it's a dietary supplement. no offense to Philipinos, you have great products but there are so many individuals/Company in your country who are scammers same as China, you are well known for copying and faking anything under the sun!
I emailed them a million times and never receive a reply, well maybe this may get their attention once they hear from the FDA themselves.
I can't wait to hear from them and hopefully get our money back which is about more than $600!
It and i
THIS IS TO WARN YA'LL, I WILL BET THAT WITHIN 24 HOURS YOU WILL BE SEEING A COMMENT FROM THE OWNERS OF LUCIDA-DS OR PROBABLY MANUFACTURER OF LUCIDA-DS SAYING THAT WHAT I'M SAYING IS A BIG FLUKE LIKE WHAT HEY DID IN HTHE PAST TO ANOTHER CLIENT, DO NOT FALL FOR THAT AGAIN!
UNITED SHELTER IS THE BIGGEST SCAMMER OF THEM ALL

thanksfor the warning

Obviously it's a scam, people post here all the time about various skin lightening products and no one seems to ever post about one actually working. It's all a scam from what i see.

wow. how kind of you to warn all the potential victims. thanks so much for making sure no one makes the same mistake. I hope they get the punishment they deserve.

I hope my sister is the last one after this..they use Forums like this one as the main portal for victims, so beware.!

Carmen

are you for real??? This is scary , isn't Lucida-Ds is in the Philipiens? This is why i dont' order anything outside the US, no protection at all. I don't think FDA will even listen to this, as the company is located outside the country. Just warn all your friends and family form buying Lucida-ds. goodluck!

I am so glad this came out. Most Glutathione brands from the Philippines aren't what they really are.

nadine01

sad to say that its really happening, now that glutathione is really popular in the PI.

Best to buy the one's sold and manufactured in the US. I think read about GLUTA-C somewhere on here. Its also sold on Ebay too together with the Glutathione brands from Asia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they only knew.....

not all Glutathione brands from the PHilippines are practising this kind of scam. that's why its very important to trust which seller are you going to buy.
