    I saw this one too! Actually, it also comes with another bottle of vitamin C right? I think 300mg of glutathione is not enough for skin whitening, you should take higher dosage. Why not try Dr. James or Active White instead? Dr James has 60 capsules per bottle and each capsule contains 1000mg pure glutathione. On the other hand, Active White also has 60 capsules per bottle and each capsule contains 500mg L-Glutathione (Reduced Glutathione) 250mg Vit. C and 250mg Grapeseed Extract (A powerful antioxidant). Hope that helps. :)

    I would be weary in taking glutathione that is 1000 mg, because the body would be able to absorb only 600 mg in one intake, so you should divide the 1000 in 2 servings. If the Vitamin C is 250 mg, it means it is not registered with the BFAD as food suppliment, it should be registered as medicine, so you will need a prescription from a doctor. The RDI for Vitamin C that is approved by the BFAD is only 110.5 mg. Over that is already categorized as medicine.

    First of all, what is the brand name. If the product really works then u will see the results I a month. And if u use it with vit c it will be more effective. IF the name is Lucida ds. Lucida ds doesn't work. It's already reported in news (TV-Patrol) in Phil. A victim of VANIDERM(same manufacturer w/ LUCIDA DS) submitted to BFAD samples of whitening products randomly bought, shows that its'(Lucida ds & vaniderm) glutathione content is less than 5mg per capsule.
    They have BFADs approval but they change the content after they get the approval, and the worse part are the side effectsThe only products that pass is Met-tathione(250+mg) & Gluta-white(250+mg), but I still recommend precautions. Please call BFAD to check if I got the products right.
