Glutathione is an antioxidant produced by every cell in our body, especially in the liver. It is generally known as star detoxifier due to its role in protecting cells from damages caused by free radicals.

Glutathione has the following advantages:

• It plays a vital part in providing a suitable immune response when health is compromised
• It is used in skin whitening products
• It purifies harmful stuff present in the intestines before they reach the bloodstream
• It controls inflammation
• It plays an essential role in improving our energy metabolism
• It protects against the flu virus
• It recycles other antioxidants such as vitamins E and C which are very crucial to neutralize free radical cell damage caused by stress, toxins, or poor health.

Glutathione is also used in skin lightening injections for fair skin. People who want to whiten their skin instantly, are turning to liquid forms of glutathione as it goes directly into the bloodstream and gets to work much faster than Glutathione capsules .

The most common element in the injections for skin lightening is glutathione. There are several glutathione pills available in the market as well for those who do not want to take injections.

Researchers have shown that it may not be advantageous in taking glutathione by mouth or oral glutathione medication may not be effective.
It is because glutathione does not get absorbed very well in the stomach and intestines, but when further research was done it was found taking high MG of glutathione supplements in a Liquid form e.g.: GlutaBerry Juice and 99.9% Glutathione powder, it goes directly into the bloodstream and allows the body to absorb much more glutathione.

It was also found when consuming glutathione supplements in a liquid form orally, a doctor or nurse does not need to administer it.

How Glutathione helps in skin whitening
Glutathione can cause skin lightening by converting the melanin present on your skin to a lighter color.It also deactivates the tyrosine enzyme, which is responsible for the production of melanin that leads to pigmentation on your skin. With the use of Glutathione, pigmentation can be completely removed.GSH Ultima contains glutathione that offers a touch of glow and fairness for your skin. The liquid form is also known to reduce signs of aging by removing lines and wrinkles emerging on your skin.

What happens when you stop taking glutathione?The best way to understand the answer to this question, we age on a daily basis inside and out so by taking glutathione supplements we slow down the aging process. Its whitening effects are permanent only if you will maintain it (by avoiding exposure to sunlight). You won’t go back to your original skin colour even if you stop taking these supplements, however, there is a tendency for you to be tan or darken your skin if you expose yourself to sunlight and other harsh elements.
