Glutathione. Glutathione. Glutathione here, there, and everywhere. If not plastered on huge billboards, you'd be sure to see ads of it in newspapers and magazines. Only recently, a patient asked me if I knew of an effective Glutathione soap and I went like, "Oh, so there's also a Glutathione soap now?" From capsules to soaps....and of late, Glutathione injectibles. Hmmmm. People now have several Glutathione preparations to choose from, or so it seems.

It's amazing, how more and more people here (especially women) seem to want to have whiter skin these days. To think that most Caucasians spend many hours under the sun or in tanning salons just to look great or exotic with a perfect tan. What's the world coming to now? At times, I can't help but wonder. But, then, it's a free world so, to each his own, I guess.

Glutathione (GSH), also known as Reduced L-glutathione, is a dietary supplement widely used for its anti-oxidant properties. It acts as a detoxifier that rids the body of free radicals/toxins. So, what on earth does an anti-oxidant have to do with skin whitening? It's very simple -- research has shown that Glutathione promotes skin whitening. And, that explains the Glutathione craze in this land of Juan de la Cruz.

Does Glutathione soap work at all? I asked a close friend one time and she told me that it probably works, but that it may not be as effective as the Glutathione capsules are. Then, she rattled on and on about a very effective Glutathione product containing 600 mg. of Glutathione plus  Vitaminc C, alpha lipoic acid (nutritional supplements that help raise glutathione levels in the blood, as research shows), and Rose hips.

"How do you know it works?" I couldn't help asking my close friend.

She smiled, and without batting an eyelash, simply said, "I've tried it."

Oh. I rest my case, then...

Note: Not all commercial glutathione preparations may be safe for use by everyone. As a precautionary measure, ALWAYS consult your doctor and/or Dermatologist.
