Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please mention whether you have a liver issue or renal issue, have a dull skin tone, and a history of skin aging. You have not attached a picture of the condition. Kindly attach a picture of the affected area to help you better. I need to see the affected area to assess the condition and to provide an appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Glutathione is an antioxidant produced by the body. It helps to reduce skin aging, stress and acts as a skin lightening agent. There are many products that are currently available as over the counter such as Hydroquinone, Vitamin C serum, Vitamin E, Niacinamide, Glycolic acid, and Kojic acid.

These products have variable effects from person to person. But Glutathione has become popular due to its fastest skin lightening action and also due to wide social media coverage. Glutathione is a peptide derived from three amino acids such as glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It is known as an antioxidant and detoxifies xenobiotics. Tyrosinase is an enzyme and it helps in melanin synthesis. Melanin is a pigment that decides the color of skin. When you have more melanin and so you have darker skin. Glutathione inhibits this enzyme and so melanin is produced in reduced quantity resulting in skin lightening. Natural sources like tomato, oranges, walnuts, whey protein, fresh fruits, and green leafy vegetables are rich in glutathione. Various formulations like topical, oral, and injectable forms are available.

The intravenous dose recommended is 600 to 1200 mg once or twice a week. There are various adverse effects observed in the intravenous route due to overdose toxicities or due to additives present in the glutathione injections. IV (intravenous) Glutathione can cause various adverse effects. It can cause thyroid dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, and severe abdominal pain. Due to its long term usage, light-colored patches can appear on the body and peptic ulcers can occur.
