    I did mention that it was once one of my options but because it cost A lot just for a month use, I did go for glutathione anyway. I think it do work as much as speed white yet less costly. I should really be wiser now. It sreally hard to earn money!

    Don't you want to try the glutathione pills too? Or have you tired it already before? And anyway, I'm just curious, how ar you going with speed white? What actaully is the ingredients or contects of the pills?

    The funny thing is that I don't know a thing about these pills' ingredients! Nothing is mentioned on the bottle nor in the website where I purchased the pills from. Weird, isn't it? I only got this stuff after I heard about it from someone. She told me it really works but she herself had stopped taking these pills beause of the costly price. Hope it works for me though, keeping my fingers crossed. It's been two weeks now and no difference so far.

    Glutathione

    Also indexed as: GSH

    Glutathione is a small protein composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine.

    Glutathione is involved in detoxification—it binds to toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, and transforms them into a form that can be excreted in urine or bile. Glutathione is also an important antioxidant. In preliminary research, dietary glutathione intake from fruit and raw vegetables has been associated with protection against some forms of cancer.1 2 Glutathione has also inhibited cancer in test tube3 and animal studies.4 In preliminary research, higher glutathione levels have also been associated with good health in older adults.5

    Glutathione supplements appear to be efficiently absorbed in rats.6 7 However, the same may not be true for glutathione supplements in humans. For example, when seven healthy people were given a single application of up to 3,000 mg of glutathione, there was no increase in blood glutathione levels.8 The authors of the study concluded "it is not feasible to increase circulating glutathione to a clinically beneficial extent by the oral administrating of a single application of 3,000 mg of glutathione." Absorption of glutathione may be better in rats because unlike the gastrointestinal tract of rats, the human gastrointestinal tract contains significant amounts of an enzyme (gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase) that breaks down glutathione. Preliminary evidence has suggested that absorption of glutathione can occur in the mouth when glutathione tablets are placed between the teeth and the inner cheek.9

    Some researchers believe that supplements other than oral glutathione may be more effective in raising blood levels of glutathione. For example, in one trial, blood glutathione levels rose nearly 50% in healthy people taking 500 mg of vitamin C per day for only two weeks. Vitamin C raises glutathione by helping the body manufacture it. In addition to vitamin C, other nutritional compounds that may, according to preliminary research, help increase glutathione levels include alpha lipoic acid, glutamine, methionine, S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe), and whey protein. Vitamin B6, riboflavin, and selenium are required in the manufacture of glutathione. The extent to which any of these nutrients effectively increases glutathione levels in humans remains unclear.

    My supplier of gluta has mentioned me about this brand as a good one but since it is just 500mg of glutathione I go for dr. james but as I was told Met-tathione is from japan and as compared with ph338 and tathione 307 that are also from japan this is of high dosage. And I do cost a little much than other brands.

    I haven't heard of this brand that's why I did go for dr. james well guess I was late, but ill be ordering that on my second batch of orders :)

    Skin lightening report
    Hello,

    I purchased the skin lightening report a month ago. I can definitely say it's worth a try. The report has potions to get rid of skin problem and lighten the skin. Or there are products that is highly recommended.

    I would really recommend glutathione as part of your skin care regimen. It makes your skin more supple & moist. It definitely is worth a try.

    Update!!
    Hello people just want to inform you that I have been taking my glutathione pills for 4 days now already, 3000mg a day :D

    Well so far I haven't seen any whitening since well its just 4 days :D, well haven't seen anything change just for a simple flu I had that its gone maybe its because of the 6000mg of vitamin C I take hehehe.

    And with the thienna products I am using, still the same, no whitening still for a week that I have been using them but my skin is getting smoother because thienna has a lotion! Weeee!! Hehehe

    Will update you again! Good luck to me! And to all of us!!

    For one thing, considering the body surface you have to cover with your cream, I think it would cost you an arm & a leg. Are you for real? For discolorations or for the face I guess this would be okay but your ENTIRE body? I have to start laying golden eggs to be able to afford that. Another, with lotions or creams, there is a big problem with hard to reach areas. Take the back for example or the insides of the thigh & the folds of our butts. Do you think we will remember everyday to put cream on these areas? I don't think I do. Do you?

    TO Sexy Rhia
    Hi Rhia
    I took your advise and got in contact with Eunice last week and placed my order. I also e-mailed Magic Potion. Eunice was very nice and personal towards me and took the time to answer all my questions, one by one. Magic Potion sent me an e-mail about their products and I read their information about taking too much vitamin A and B. I found that information very important. Therefore, I would say to communicate with both sellers is no harm and can get build your knowledge base on skin whitening. They both seem to be good sellers. I am thinking of buying some grapeseed extract from Magic Potion in the future, but for right now, I have already put in a nice order with Eunice.

    My question to you Rhia is
    How much did you whiten from taking the pills before you went out and got a tan. How many shades did you whiten and I do remember when you said you started taking the pills, but tell us again, how long were you taking the pills before you became __?__lighter?

    Next question is, are you a believer that for faster or better results to use some type of skin whitening cream while you are taking the pills. Right now, before I get my package from Eunice, I am using Whiter Skin

    I wouldn't recommned you take tripeld dose of Vitamin C. It is ascorbic acid & acids do harms the stomach. I advise you take it same dose as the glutathione or if you really want to, twice.

    is this an effective regimen?
    I've been working on a regimen that includes 3000mg of Gluta, with a "twist"... look to find out:

    Regimen for a year: let's say, we started in November...

    3000mg of Gluta - Dec - Jan
    2000mg of Gluta - Feb - March - Apr - May
    1000mg of Gluta - June - July - Aug - Sep - Oct - Nov

    Summary: Since it's important for the first 2-3 months of taking Gluta, I incorporated a 3000mg for 2 months... then after the Gluta has taken its effect on the dermis... I reduced the Gluta content to 2000mg, but, I increased it by two months more... then after four months, I reduced it to the lowest concentration, 1000mg for six months... does it make sense? LISTEN...

    Since at first, the body has adapted to 3000mg of Gluta... to change it to a lower concentration, but let the body "think" that it's still taking the original dosage... here is the formula: for every decrease of 1000mg of Gluta = an increase of two months

    Gradual process... dba?? It indeed does make sense... in this way, it fools the body... but actually, you take a lower concentration this time, in effect, you have to take it for longer though...

    So, can I know your comments on my "mini-theory"?? Hehehe...

    My question to you Rhia is
    How much did you whiten from taking the pills before you went out and got a tan. How many shades did you whiten and I do remember when you said you started taking the pills, but tell us again, how long were you taking the pills before you became __?__lighter?

    *** I got 2 shades lighter just on the first month of taking the pills! Because I did really take 3000mg of gluta and double the dosage of vitamin C. before I went back to the philippines, I actually was 3-4 shades lighter that's taking the pills for like 3 months but now I'm in a good tan :D

    Next question is, are you a believer that for faster or better results to use some type of skin whitening cream while you are taking the pills. Right now, before I get my package from Eunice, I am using Whiter Skin

    ***i do also use whitening lotions and creams, I am using amira whitening line, from their soap, lotion and creams, yes I do believe that for a faster results it is best to use whitening creams and lotions
    - first because we really need to moisturize our skin, when we want to lighten our skin why not use lightening lotions or creams instead of normal creams or moisturizers.
    - secondly, I think that there are parts of our body that are not even with the rest so I think or rather believe that in using creams and lotions and soaps, we would help to even it faster with this stuffs.
    - thirdly, I think its best to use whitening creams too because we actually don't see whitening that fast with pills since as they say the whitening starts from the inside, so in my opinion it would be faster to whiten whenusing the whitenig creams because we lighten from whithin then we lighten from outside when they meet halfway then that's faster :D

    I am not promoting magicpotions as you can see, I have bought from other sellers as well but it was only magicpotions that really dived their prices when in bulk order. I do not want to mislead people that I am promoting magicptions the way all your posts are promoting Unis. I tell people to check other sources so they can get a cheaper price. I checked all of eBay & most prices are fixed. I have ordered from Kazumi also. My first whitening pills were from him but he did not give me a better deal. So, it is BULL**** to say that I am promoting magicpotions. But obviously, you still are Unis.

    If you guys have relatives in the Philippines, have them buy for you rather than be misled to believe that these prices some people are charging you here are fair. You get them for 1/3 the price they charge when you buy it there. Best way to send it would be by Johny Cargo(so what now, Sexy Rhia, you will comment that I am promoting Johny Cargo as well?) since that is from my point of view the cheapest.

    Hi,

    I am from India and using skin whitening capsules from past one year but not regularly. Earlier I had taken them from lucida-ds and continued it for 3 - 4 months but not seen much difference. Actually, I use to take 2 capsules daily and it was told later that I have to take 4 capsules in a day. So I started taking 4 for 2 months or so but not seen much difference. Then I after 2 months I ordered from Kazumi. I am finished with her 6th bottle. Each bottle contain 60 capsules. I have seen only a minor change in my skin. Just 1 shade lighter you can say. I am continuing them. Earlier I was told by Kazumi that I can become as white as I want but now she is saying there is limit to the whitening and there is some problem with my metabolism. I don't know I am wasting my money or not. But I really want to be very very fair. Please send me the skin lightening report at [email protected]. I will also keep you guys with the latest updates of these whitening pills on my skin

    Really? I didn't know that. My bad. But I have compared the shipping prices of other companies & they have the cheapest. Most of my friends ship goods through them too because of their low price.
