3.GLUTATHIONE
BACKGROUND AND BENEFITS
- Glutathione is a tripeptide; a molecule consisting of three amino acids linked together by chemical bonds.
- An essential nutrient found in organisms, including plants, animals and bacteria.
- Glutathione has strong anti-oxidant properties. It protects the cells from the damage that occurs when chemicals react with oxygen. These chemicals are free radicals, but other reactive oxygen species include heavy metals, lipid peroxides and peroxides.
- In addition to its remarkable antioxidant properties, the discovery of its antimelanogenic properties has led to its promotion as a skin-lightning agent. Its skin-lightning effects result from direct as well as indirect inhibition of the Tyrosinase Enzyme and switching from eumelanin to phaeomelanin production.
- The liver bio-synthesizes Glutathione from the amino acids, glycine, L-cysteine, which are readily available from a variety of dietary sources.
- Glutathione is therefore not an essential nutrient, although it is found in many fruits, meats and vegetables.
HOW GLUTATHIONE WORKS?
- As it is able to maintain their health and performance and resist disease by neutralizing free radicals and keeping other antioxidants including Vitamin C and E in their active form.
- Excessive sun exposure is an important factor that causes undesirable hyperpigmentation. The crucial cellular event is enhanced by tyrosinase activity. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation is the most important factor that causes undesirable hyperpigmentation. Exposure to ultraviolet radiations in generation of excessive amount of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species within the cells.
USES AND ADMINISTRATION
- Primarily available as oral formulations and parenteral formulations.
- The three major routes of administration used for skin lightning are topical (cream, face washes), oral (capsules and sublingual/buccal tablets) and intravenous injections.
- TOPICAL GLUTATHIONE: Available in cream, lotion or face wash form. It reduces melanin index and repairs the damage of the ultraviolet radiation. It is also used as part of an anti ageing regime. Data about efficacy needs to be recorded and analysed before reaching a conclusion.
- ORAL GLUTATHIONE: Glutathione found from yeast sources and various preparations are available either alone, or in combination with vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid and other antioxidants. Its recommended dosage is 20 to 40 mg/kg per bodyweight in two divided doses. Effects can be seen after 3 to 4 weeks and need to continue for a long time to sustain effects, so maintenance is must.
- INTRAVENOUS GLUTATHIONE: Due to low bioavailability of oral Glutathione, intravenous injections are being promoted to provide desired therapeutic levels in the blood and skin and to produce instant skin lightning. Manufacturers of intravenous glutathione injections recommend a dose of 600-1200 mg for skin lightning, to be injected once or twice weekly.

- While the result of bleaching agents and chemical peeling are not permanent, laser treatment usually last for years and are considered permanent.
- The deeper the treatment is, the more lasting its effects would be. But strict photoprotection is mandatory otherwise results of laser whitening treatment don’t last for long.
