Glutathione in Skin Whitening

Glutathione is one of the most popular names when it comes to skin whitening products in the Philippines. Not being a pharmacist or a geek in terms of chemical content, I went ahead for a bit of research of Glutathione.

Wikipedia defines Glutathione (GSH) as a tripeptide. It contains an unusual peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain. Glutathione, an antioxidant, helps protect cells from reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides. In simpler terms as I have read somewhere:
"Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and best kept secret to maintaining health." To read more of its benefits: read this article: Glutathione Benefits.

Some Glutathione products available in the market are:

1) Active White L-Glutathione
2) Dr.James Glutathione
3) Twinlab L-Glutathione
4) Lucida-DS Glutathione/Vaniderm
5) Megathione
6) Health Life L-Glutathione
7) Vitamins USA Glutathione
8) Met-tathione
9) Natuform L-Glutathione
10) Kirkland Vitamin C w/ Rose Hips
11) MET-tathione Whitening Capsules
12) BeauOxi White Capsules
13) Ishigaki L-Glutathione
14) Saluta Reduced Glutathione Injectibles
15) Silk and Dove L-Glutathione Capsules
16) Tationil Glutathion Injectibles
17) Vitamin USA Glutathione Capsules
18) Powerpack Megathione
19) Goddess Glutathione Lotion
20) Green White Glutathione Capsules

With the numerous products available, it's pretty hard to select which product to use. Especially for new users, please consult your doctor before using them and do some research as well by looking at some product reviews. In the next couple of days, I will be posting some product reviews of skin whitening products.
