Question

Hi, I need to know how safe is to take Glutathione pills for skin whitening. I’m NOT black, I’ve got a rare skin colour, more like a light browny beige, the thing is I produce lots of melanin with sun exposure, so my arms, hands, neck and FACE gets terribly darker in less than 10 minutes. That is why I wanna take glutathione, it is said have whitening effects to last forever, and I really wanna know if it is true before I make a big mistake. And if it’s good to take them, will I be able to sun exposure?

I will appreciate your help, and I’m looking forward to your reply.

Thanks a lot.

Jonathan

Answer

Interesting question. I am afraid though there is some suggestion of Glutathione helping to ‘whiten’ skin there is no hard study evidence to back this claim and the long term safety of taking it, is not known. I would definitely not recommend it and neither is it approved by the FDA.
