Fact #1: We have manufactured and dispensed L-Glutathione for 5 years, primarily as an effective antioxidant, immune system enhancer, and system detoxifier. The skin lightening properties are a "side effect", but defenitely are imparted. (I will not include our company name here, as this is intended as educational and not sales-oriented - anyone wishing to contact us can send a reply for contact information).
Fact #2: You DO NOT need the addition of Vitamin C, alpha-lipoic acid, zinc, or any other ingredients for effectiveness. Some research shows slightly enhanced absorption through the gut, but for purposes of skin lightening, this is minimal and not required.
Fact #3: ALWAYS opt for only pure 100% reduced L-Glutathione! Blends or oxidized forms will not work for any purpose, as they are biologically inactive in the body.
Fact #4: Expect to wait an average of 60 days of regular use before judging results. L-Glutathione works by interfering with pigment producing pathways, therefore instant results are unrealistic to expect. The lighter your skin to start, generally the more pronounced results. Users have seen anywhere from 2-5 shades of lightening. Roughly 5% of users will not achieve results (in our experience). Use of a topical lightening agent along with the oral pathway will enhance results by lightening the superficial skin layers, which has a sparse blood supply and are difficult to address via an internal route. IF YOU HAVEN'T ACHIEVED SATISFACTORY RESULTS AFTER 90 DAYS, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY - YOU ARE SIMPLY ONE OF THE FEW NON-RESPONDERS.
Fact #5: YOUR SKIN WILL SLOWLY REVERT TO YOUR NORMAL SHADE UPON DISCONTINUATION OF THIS PRODUCT. There is no known permanent skin lightener.
Fact #6: 500mg twice per day is an adequate dosage; anyone recommending more is trying to sell you additional product. Only take more if you have a bodyweight over 175 pounds, and then one extra 500mg capsule per day is sufficient.
Fact #7: Sounds obvious, but stay out of the sun, and wear SPF 30 or higher screen when in the sun, especially if you are using a topical agent as well.
Fact #8: L-Glutathione is good for you. There have been virtually no reported side effects, and you receive the benefits of the antioxidant, immune system enhancement, and detoxification with use of this product. We have had one user in 5 years who claimed skin blemishes; if true, this was probably due to an allergic-type reaction.
These seem to be the most requested facts, but please ask if you have other specific questions; we will do our best to assist you. We offer this information as physicians and pharmacists, not as sales people!
...and of course, we must include the disclaimer that this information is not intended to treat or cure any disease, but strictly for educational purposes. You should consult with your physician or healthcare provider prior to use of these products. Hope this helps some of you.
Again many thanks for the information.
