Glutathione Skin Whitening and Lightening

Glutathione Skin Whitening and Lightening Skin whitening and lightening is achievable since glutathione is also known as gammaglutamylcysteinylglycine or GSH is an antioxidant formed from the amino acid cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Virtually all your cells have glutathione, but this antioxidant is most highly concentrated in your liver, pancreas, spleen, and eyes. It is the body’s most renowned and powerful antioxidant that helps protect your body from free-radical damage, boosts the immune system and detoxifies the body.

By helping your body detoxify, glutathione helps reduce your risk of developing cancer. Glutathione is able to fight cancer by causing malignant cells to die but keeping healthy cells alive. Glutathione also helps synthesize and repair DNA. It also recycles vitamins which also act against free radicals. Further benefits of glutathione are its anti-aging effects that are highly remarkable from age spots of the skin and wrinkles, and it is also safe to use as a skin whitening treatment.

When it comes to skin whitening, glutathione may have anti-melanogenic effects by converting melanin to a lighter color and deactivating the enzyme tyrosinase which helps produce the pigment. It also appears to work by ridding the body of toxins and free radicals that lead to age spots, sun spots, wrinkles, melasma or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
