Benefits
Function of glutathione in skin whitening
Being an ingredient of skin whitening products it inhibits melanin synthesis by interrupting L-DOPA's ability to bind to enzyme Tyrosinase (monophenol monooxygenase).
Glutathione induces inhibition of tyrosinase glycosylation. This blocks the maturation as well as transfer of tyrosinase from Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum-lysosome (GERL) - coated vesicles to the premelanosome.
GSH is believed to direct tyrosinase inactivation within the enzyme's active site by chelating copper.
As glutathione takes part in the conversion of dopaquinone to pheomelanin, it mediates in the transformation of eumelanogenesis to pheomelanogenesis.
Its antioxidant properties help to neutralyze the peroxides and free radicals which induce melanin synthesis.
GSH modulates the capabilities of melanocytotoxic agents in depigmentation and whitening.
Advantages of glutathione skin whitening
Unlike other fairness products which can only be applied topically, GSH, apart from topical use ,can be taken orally or injected and it can work from inside the body.
In both topical and internal use it has been found to lighten, even tone, remove hyperpigmentation, freckles, age spots, acne scars and dark patches and give a glow to skin.
Simultaneously, being an endogenous antioxidant, it protects the epidermis from oxidative damages, age related disorders and sun exposure.
As we age, it is found that our plasma levels of glutathione drops steeply bringing about age related ailments like age spots and freckles.
Unlike other fairness and whitening products, which can be harmful or allergic, GSH has been found to be safe in both topical and oral use.
Methods for increasing glutathione levels for skin whitening
GSH supplements are not well absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and it not possible to increase the circulating levels by this route.
A large dose of 3 gms also failed to increase the circulating glutathione to clinically beneficial levels and had no beneficial epidermis whitening results.
When taken along with high doses of vitamin C, the GSH is maintained in its absorbable reduced form and to some extent is absorbed and utilized.
However, circulating levels of Glutathione can be increased by supplementation with GSH precursors.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), available as drug and supplement can increase the levels within the cells.
Whey protein and S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) are also found to increase the inter cellular GSH content of the cells.
Alpha lipoic acid, melatonin and silymarin have been found to replendish plasma levels.
Glutathione IV injections are available, but are priced high.
Injections are better and more effective compared to taking GSH orally and faster results of fairness and increased whitening are achieved.
Time taken for visible glutathione skin whitening
The process of achieving fairness is gradual taking a few months.
Further GSH whitening dependant on many factors and the initial color of the skin.
Approximate time frame for different types of skin colors and tones is as follows.Light to medium color skin 2 to 4 months
Dark brown color 4 to 7 months
Very dark 8 to 12 months
Black 12 to 24 months
Other functions of glutathione
Protection
L-Glutathione has the ability to boost the immune system. This is because lymphocytes--which are the cells that are responsible for the immune function--need L-Glutathione to work and replicate. The body is then more equipped to fight off diseases. In addition to this, L-Glutathione can prevent the oxidation of fats, including cholesterols, which are found in the bloodstream. Thus, the risk of plaque formation in the arteries is minimized. This is a significant benefit because the clogging of the arteries can lead to strokes and heart disease.
Cancer
L-Glutathione has the ability to protect against some forms of cancer, such as those found in the breasts, lungs and prostates. In a 2004 study conducted by the American Association for Cancer Research, it was discovered that high levels of cysteine in plasma may lessen the risk of breast cancer. Cysteine is one of the three amino acids that produce L-Glutathione. In fact, L-Glutathione may enhance the effectiveness of treatments for cancer such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Anti-Aging
L-Glutathione can be used to lessen the effects of aging. This particular substance has the ability to protect against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results when there is an imbalance between the free radicals that are created when oxygen is used and the body's ability to detoxify them. As a result, the body tends to wear down more easily. To boost its effectiveness further, L-Glutathione may be taken in conjunction with ascorbic acid or vitamin C.
Detoxification
The liver and kidneys are vital organs known for their detoxification functions. They are also the places where the highest levels of glutathione are found. People are exposed to toxins on a regular basis, with most of these toxins coming from the environment. L-Glutathione prevents them from acting on the body in a harmful manner by making sure that the liver functions properly. It does this by binding with the toxins in the body, using an enzyme called conjugase and flushing them out.
Acerola cherry
is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C known to man. It provide you with exceptional, food state vitamin C, but also all of the healthy nutrients that ensure maximum absorption and nutritional input. It's more effective than the synthetic supplement alternatives.
Grape Seed
is rich of OPC which reduces tissue damage caused by free radicals.
