FAQ

Q. It has been asked many times but how long before I really see the initial results?
A: As I have been telling to people “Don’t expect a beauty miracle”, it takes time to grow and this case its takes weeks to be white. The average period where a user can see visible change in his/her skin color as a result of the whitening pill takes about 8weeks. Again, this is not applicable to every user; however, there are cases to which some users already saw results in as early as 4 weeks taking 2-3 capsules daily. In other cases they show a slow development which results in 10-12 weeks before they have seen the results. Moreover, the best thing to do is not to miss a daily dosage and don’t get disappointed early once you didn’t see results in the time you have expected it to happen.
 
Q.  Why is it that some people see results early and others took long before they can see it?
A: For the simple reason that people have different metabolism, weight is also a factor, the fact that some people see results early is because there body have absorbed the components well. Finally, dosage is an issue.
 
Q. What is the recommended dosage in able to achieve a faster and visible result?
A:In order to achieve a faster result the right dosage for a certain person must be based on his/her body weight and skin tone. If your weight is above average (70 kilos above) and your skin tone is tan or light brown, it’s recommended to take 3-4 capsules daily. If you are black (African/Afro-American), take 4-6 capsules daily(again, depends on weight).Generally, I recommend users to take 2 capsules daily if they have a light complexion already, its potent enough to achieve a change of skin tone in as early as 4-8 weeks (again, results may vary from person to person). Once you have achieved the desired skin tone you may maintain it by taking 1 capsule daily.
 
Q. Do you think it’s not bad to take a high dosage of this whitening pills everyday?
A:Definitely. There is no such thing as over dosage in these whitening pills. Did you know that primarily Glutathione is given at a daily dose of more than 5000MG to certain patients? L-Glutathione and its components (vitamin C, ALA, zinc) are all supplements; they are in existence in our body. They are water-soluble which just means that if there’s anything in excess, it will be just excreted through urine or bile.
 
Q. Why is Vitamin C important once you are taking these whitening pills? Should I also take a separate Vitamin C even though the whitening pill contains Vitamin C (250MG) already?
A: Let’s take it from the experts:
“Glutathione is too large a molecule to effectively pass through the intestine into cells, so supplementing with glutathione alone is not helpful.  But when taken with Vitamin C, which protects it from oxidative damage, Glutathione becomes effective.”
Monika Klein, C.N.,
Malibu, California
 
“Some people with darker skin tone report that taking Glutathione capsules along with vitamin C for three to six months or more actually lightens the color of their skin.”
 website © 2004 www.Gluta.com
 
Although the whitening pill contains Vitamin C (250MG) already it is advisable to take a separate Vitamin C (1000MG per whitening pill). In order to achieve the therapeutic effects of Vitamin C, we must take it in a higher dose too. It is also recommended especially to people who smokes and are most of the time expose to polluted environment. Taking a separate Vitamin C also stimulates a better and faster result.
 
Q.  What is grape seed extract? What are its benefits?
A: Grape Seed Extract (along with Pycnogenol, an extract derived from maritime pine bark) is an important source of one of nature's most potent antioxidants, the proanthocyanidins, which are synergistic with Vitamin C - that is, they greatly enhance the activity of Vitamin C in the body. These nutritionally valuable substances have been utilized to treat deteriorating diseases and conditions with great success. Grape Seed extract helps Vitamin C enter the body's cells, thus strengthening the cell membranes, and protecting the cells from oxidative damage. Research has shown that proanthocyanidins (bioflavonoids) serve as anti-inflammatory, antihistamines, antiallergenic and are major free radical scavengers. The proanthocyandins possess up to 50 times stronger antioxidant activity than Vitamin C&E, Beta Carotene or Selenium.
 
Proanthocyanidins also help promote tissue elasticity, help heal injuries, reduce swelling and edema, restore collagen and improve peripheral circulation. Proanthocyanidins also prevent bruising, strengthen weak blood vessels, protect against atherosclerosis, and reduce histamine production.
 

The many benefits of Grape Seed Extract include:

Grape Seed Extract also prevents acne from appearing or reappearing.

Research Shows Grape Seed Extract Benefits

A concerted study by scientific researchers into the benefits of Grape Seed Extract began in earnest in the early 1990s in an attempt to resolve the so-called French Paradox. After the regimented Pritikin-style diets of the 1980s, it came as a surprise to researchers in the area of cardiovascular health to find that the typical French diet, consisting of a high proportion of saturated fats, actually resulted in lower rates of heart disease than those of other Western countries.

This paradox was attributed to the presence of red wine in the typical French diet, and subsequent studies isolated powerful antioxidants, named oligomeric proanthocyanidins (or OPCs), in red wine grape seeds.

Earlier studies of OPCs date back as far as 1951, when researchers from the University of Bordeaux in France extracted OPCs from both pine bark needles and grape seeds. The evidence suggests that the OPCs present in Grape Seed Extract are up to 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E. In addition, Grape Seed Extract has been shown to remain in the body for up to three days, significantly longer than the more commonly used antioxidants, Vitamins C and E.

Documented studies suggest that Grape Seed Extract works by strengthening collagen in blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow throughout the body. Thus, the compound is useful for the prevention and treatment of vascular disorders such as arteriosclerosis, chronic venous insufficiency (including swelling, pooling of blood, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids), macular degeneration, periodontal disease, circulatory disorders associated with diabetes, and erectile problems.

Research also indicates that the antioxidants present in Grape Seed Extract are multifunctional in the way they scavenge potentially damaging free radicals in the body. While Vitamin C protects against water-soluble oxidants, and Vitamin E neutralizes fat-soluble oxidants, the OPCs found in Grape Seed Extract defend against both.

At present, animal evidence suggests that OPCs can slow and even reverse clogging of the arteries. Human studies point to the efficacy of Grape Seed Extract in the treatment of edema (swelling after surgery), and it may possibly assist in dealing with high blood pressure, lupus, and cirrhosis of the liver.

In all, over 90 research publications have detailed the health benefits of Grape Seed Extract, including articles in Toxicology, The Journal of Medicine, Fitoperia, and The Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry. The latter journal article outlines the benefits of Grape Seed Extract on Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers in the study of ADD and ADHD have noted significant improvement in the behavior of children suffering from these disorders. The ability of Grape Seed Extract to transect the blood-brain barrier means that Grape Seed Extract has the potential to impact significantly on psychoneurological health. Further research will allow scientists to fully understand the already considerable benefits of Grape Seed Extract.

Q.  Why is Alpha Lipoic Acid important? What are its effects?
A:Again, let’s take it from the experts:
“Take alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant that turns up the production of glutathione, your liver's head janitor. Glutathione latches on to toxic gunk and makes it water-soluble enough to be flushed out through your kidneys. For maximum liver scrubbing, take a 50 milligram alpha-lipoic acid tablet (sold in drugstores) twice a day.”
 “Lipoic acid is the only antioxidant that can boost the level of intracellular glutathione”
“Moreover, it has the remarkable ability to recycle several other important antioxidants including vitamins C and E, glutathione and coenzyme Q10, as well as itself!”
LE Magazine December 1999
STAYING YOUNG FOREVER
Karin Granstrom Jordan, M.D Ph.D.
 
Alpha Lipoic Acid is also a kind of anti-oxidant, it acts as an anti-aging and to some studies(Germany) it is use to lower the blood sugar.
 
Q. What makes your whitening pills different compared to other whitening pills?
A:What makes it different and powerful is the synergy between its various components (Only applicable to Active White and Vitamins USA). They are not only powerful individually, but also work together in what is known as antioxidant cycling. Antioxidant cycling is the term that describes how antioxidants work together to extend each others’ lives and make each other more powerful. And that’s also the reason why it is so effective to really whiten the skin in its long term use. I also have a brand that’s purely Glutathione.
 
Q. Is it just ok to continue using some whitening creams or gels while using it?
A: Yes. There is no problem if you still continue using your regular skin care regimen (creams, lotions) but once the whitening process has started you might not need to buy any creams to apply to your skin, the whitening pill itself alone is ok  and you will see it for yourself.
 
Q. How does the process of whitening starts? Can it give me an equal skin tone all over?
A:The reason why are skin becomes white in using this whitening pill is because it reverses the dark melanin pigments turning to a light pigments and reduces melanocytes which produces melanin. Less melanin, a whiter skin. L-glutathione’s whitening process starts inside the skin (dermal layer) going outside (epidermal layer), that’s the reason why it takes time to be able to see initial change in your skin tone. The whitening process is goes head to foot meaning that you will have a white even skin tone in your whole body.
 
Q. How can I consider any of your whitening pills? It is a drug, vitamin or supplements? Is it just ok to take it with all my other medications and vitamins? Is there anything to avoid when taking this whitening pill?
A: For Dr. James, you’d also need to take 1000mg of Vitamin C for full absorption.
 
For Active White, its components such as L-Glutathione, Vitamin C and Grape seed Extract, they can be considered food or dietary supplements.
 
For Vitamins USA, it’s components such as L-Glutathione, Vitmain C, Alpha-Lipoic Acid and Zinc Aspartate can be considered as food/dietary supplements.
 
These are NOT considered as drugs and so there are no known contradictions and precautions to be taken into consideration. However, L-Glutathione shouldn’t be taken by people taking anti-psychotic drug and chemotherapeutic drug. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages; the presence of alcohol in the stomach is one reason for your body to not fully absorb the whitening pill.
 
Q. Once I have achieved the skin tone I want is it just ok to stop taking the pills or should I continue it?
A: It is advisable to still continue taking the pills even though you have achieved the skin tone you want. Take 1 capsule a day as maintenance. We all know that L-Glutathione is very good to our health and so taking it in long term will not only make us white but also it will promote better health.
 
Q. Are the whitening effects of these whitening pills permanent? Will my skin tone go back to its original color once I stop using it?
A: 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 color even if you stop taking these pills, however, there is a tendency for you to be tan or darken your skin if you expose yourself to sunlight and other harsh elements.
 
Q. Is the exposure from the sun affects the whitening process or it is bad when I am taking the pills?
A: Sunlight provides vitamin d but right now we all know that is not safe for our skin to be exposed from it for the fact that our ozone layer is much depleted and so will not protect us from UV rays. Exposure to sunlight will indirectly affect the whitening process since it increases the melanin pigments in the skin, thus, might delay the whitening process. It’s not really bad to be exposed to sunlight but at least have protection and be sure not be exposed at a long period of time.
 
Q. What If I am taking the pills but most of the time I am exposed to the sun, what will I do? 
A: Use sun block or sunscreen lotion that has an SPF of 45-60. It will protect you from the harmful effects of the sun.
 
Q.  Is this whitening pill (L-Glutathione) safe in the liver?
A: Let’s hear what a renowned doctor says about it:
“The level of glutathione in the liver is critically linked to the liver’s ability to detoxify. The higher the glutathione content, the greater the liver’s capacity to detoxify harmful chemicals.  Typically, when we are exposed to chemicals to which can damage the liver including alcohol, the concentration of glutathione in the liver is substantially reduced. This reduction makes the liver susceptible to damage.”
Nature’s Potent Liver Remedy
Dr. Murray
 
Q. Is there any untoward side-effect from the long-term use of these whitening pills?
A: There are no side effects or interactions known with oral administration of L-Glutathione even in its prolonged use. The side-effect, we all know, is the skin whitening itself.
 
Q. Why do you say that this whitening pill is really effective? Is there any assurance for that?
A:Before using this whitening pill I have already tried other brands which only gave me full disappointment. The results took very long to see and the worst part is they have been the cause for my acne breakouts and also made me gain weight. That’s the time when I went on research and found out this whitening pill which I’m now selling. The reason why I am very confident to this product is because I am a living proof that it really does work and also does wonders. In 3 weeks time my acne are all gone and I felt very radiant for the reason that it cleanses my body too. I have seen results and not disappointment. Now I recommend it to everyone to experience its power to really whiten the skin in the shortest period of time, thus, promoting better health. That’s what I call assurance.
 
Q. I am in a hurry to see the results and also I want to be slim while I am taking the pills, is it ok to take slimming pills or other products?
A: Like I have mentioned before the whitening pill (L-Glutathione) is considered as a supplement and therefore safe to be taken with other medications, vitamins or supplements. However, I recommend people using whitening pills to just use slimming creams or whitening creams so as letting the whitening pill work solely in your body. If you are in a hurry and at the same want to be slim, I recommend you to use natural kind of weight reducing supplements such as green tea extract.
 
Q. Is it safe to be taken even by young teens who want to be white?
A: Yes it is. As I have mentioned earlier, this whitening pill (L-glutathione) is considered as a supplement. It’s just as if you were taking your regular dose of vitamins everyday, therefore is it safe to be taken by young teens and to all ages who also want to be white. Henceforth, the right dosage should be taken into consideration.
 
Q. Is it true from what I’ve heard that whitening of the hair is a side-effect in taking these whitening pills (L-glutathione)?
A: It is not true. The side effect in taking L-glutathione is the whitening of the skin already. There is no such thing as the “side effect of a side effect”, it doesn’t make sense. Moreover, I have also heard about that and the reason why they say some of there hair turned white might be because they have used a whitening pill containing Tyrostat (L Tyrosine). There have been reports about that.
 
Q. Is it better to take the whitening pill with an empty stomach or should I eat my meal first before taking it?
A: I just have found out that it’s much better to take the whitening pills with an empty stomach. Your body will fully absorb it because it is only concentrated in just one substance unlike if have eaten already or had intake something, there might be a tendency for your body not to fully absorb it because there are already substances present in your stomach that  might hinder the process of absorption.
 
Q. Can pregnant women use the product?
A: Glutathione play an important role in the development and growth of the fetus, maintenance of a healthy pregnancy and even before pregnancy, in fertility and conception. It also protects both mother and fetus from the damaging effects of free radicals and oxidative stress. If they wish to take glutathione, they can just choose between all 6 brands, all are safe. And the ones with Alpha Lipoic Acid are good for the mother and baby's brain and spine development.
 
Q. Is it FDA or BFAD approved?
A: No. L-Glutathione is considered as a food/dietary supplement. It doesn't necessarily require a FDA/BFAD approval since only manufactured drugs, foods, medical devices and cosmetics undergo this kind approval. Unlike drug products that must be proven safe and effective for their intended use before marketing, there are no provisions in the law for FDA to "approve" dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness before they reach the consumer. Also unlike drug products, manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements are not currently required by law to record, investigate or forward to FDA any reports they receive of injuries or illnesses that may be related to the use of their products. Moreover, our whitening pills (L-Glutathione) have been approved by the Department Of Health Services in Sacramento, California and have been given authority to be distributed or sold to other state or country. Finally, it has passed an analysis (assay) test done by a laboratory duly accredited by the Health Bureau.
 
 
 

How does the SUPER WHITENING PILL works?

This is the outermost layer of the skin called the epidermis. The primary determinant of variability in human skin color is the melanin and melanocyte is a cell that synthesizes it. L-glutathione, the whitening pill's main component works not exactly in this area but in the metabolism of melanin.

 

 

 

 

MELANIN METABOLISM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the point where the metabolic pathway of melanin begins. As you see in the diagram GSH (reduced glutathione) intervenes the metabolism. There are certain kinds of compounds that inhibits the tyrosinase activity and L-glutathione is one of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The oral use of Reduced Glutathione (L-glutathione) inhibits the tyrosinase activity. Once the tyrosinase activity has been inhibited the metabolic pathway then reverses its course going to the synthesis of light pigmented melanin called Phaeomelanin instead of synthesizing dark pigmented melanin called Eumelanin. The cycle continuously flow as long as the presence of L-glutathione co-exist in the metabolic pathway of melanin. Finally, light skin will reveal to the surface gradually changing your complexion.

Have you ever longed for that white skin celebrities have? Are you dark and possess certain discolorations in your body? Do you want to achieve that white even tone all over, clear up your acne, improve your health and cure certain illnesses in your body? This is the new age of advance skin whitening

"GLUTATHIONE is used to help treat blood disorders, and detoxify the liver of heavy metals, toxins, and alcohol. It has a long history of being used by those exposed to radiation and chemotherapy during cancer therapies. Glutathione helps to protect cells and tissues against oxidants. It is thought that Glutathione has anti-aging effects, and as we grow older, supplementing Glutathione can help prevent the levels from dropping. Dermatologists prescribe Glutathione for its only side effect: whitening of dark skin.  People with darker skin tone report that taking Glutathione capsules along with vitamin C for three to six months or more actually lightens the color of their skin."

Among other countries, Asians since in the early years have been the pioneers in the skin whitening regimen (whitening pills, creams) and the reason for that is simply their quest for to find solutions in some of their skin discoloration problems ,thus, resulting in the introduction to whitening pills. That became the birth of the whitening pill "L-Glutathione". We all know that L-Glutathione is primarily formulated as an anti-oxidant and anti-aging but its other major greater effect "side-effect" is the whitening of the skin. It has been discovered that taking L-Glutathione in a high dose inhibits tyrosinase activity which then reverses melanin's metabolism turning dark pigmentations (Eumelanin) into light pigmentations (Phaeomelanin). Since then it has been used and recommended by dermatologist throughout Asia and has been branded as whitening pill, whitening capsule, or bleaching capsule.

And now as the new age of skin whitening arises, comes the SUPER WHITENING PILLS. We have combined the resources of Asia (source of raw materials) plus the technology of US (manufacturer), thus, resulting in a product of great quality. And that is one of the assurances why this product will surely give you results visible by your eyes and not promises that will only make you disappointed in the end.

There is no question at all and It has already been proven that L-Glutathione is really effective in whitening the skin.............

HOWEVER, NOT ALL WHO SELLS L-GLUTATHIONE ARE GENUINE, SOME ARE FAKE!!!!!! Others don't have enough potency (dosage/mg) to give good effects and others don't have the right formulation and combination to stimulate a better result.

BEWARE!!! Not all L-Glutathione brands are safe. There are L-Glutathione brands combined with other components to which is not suitable to be taken orally. "Sheep Placenta Extract" often causes pimples or acne flare-ups and also in some cases acts as an appetite stimulant, thus, causes gaining of weight. On the other hand, "Tyrostat or L-Tyrosine" according to some users and celebrities causes whitening of the hair. These kinds of components are still questionable to some doctors and clinical studies.

Our Whitening Pill is different from other brands simply because of its very good formulation, combination and dosage. Our Whitening Pill is 500mg unlike others which are only 100-250mg. It has Vitamin C in low dose and so it’s still recommended to still take a separate one (1000mg per whitening pill). Glutathione effectively works well with the help of vitamin c. It has Alpha Lipoic Acid, an anti-oxidant too that has anti-aging properties and helps decrease the sugar level in the body (as used in Germany). Finally, a mineral, Zinc Aspartate promotes cognitive functions, metabolic processes and cures various skin disorders. According to studies the combined effects of the four main components gives a better, faster and very effective results unlike any other brand. It is certifiably made and manufactured in a US-based standard that only assures us of safety, affectivity, authenticity and a product of high quality. It uses finest raw materials from Asia and Europe and manufactured in Hayward, California USA.

WE GUARANTEE YOU THAT OUR PRODUCT IS AUTHENTIC AND 100% ORIGINAL THE PRODUCT UNDERGONE A US-BASED STANDARD OF FOOD AND DRUG PREPARATION WHICH ONLY ASSURES ITS SAFETINESS FOR ORAL CONSUMPTION WE ACQUIRE OUR PRODUCTS DIRECTLY FROM CALIFORNIA WHERE IT IS SOLELY MANUFACTURED.

What Doctors/Experts say About Glutathione

·         Glutathione is a substance, the levels of which in our cells are predictive of how long we will live. There are very few other factors which are as predictive of our life expectancy as is our level of cellular glutathione. Glutathione has been called the "master antioxidant", and regulates the actions of lesser antioxidants such as vitamin C, and vitamin E within the body. "We literally cannot survive without this antioxidant," Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D. "What You Should Know about the Super Antioxidant Miracle"

·         "Without glutathione, other important antioxidants such as vitamins C and E cannot do their job adequately to protect your body against disease." Breakthrough in Cell Defense, Allan Somersall, Ph.D., M.D., and Gustavo Bounous, M.D. FRCS(C)

·         "No other antioxidant is as important to overall health as glutathione. It is the regulator and regenerator of immune cells and the most valuable detoxifying agent in the human body. Low levels are associated with hepatic dysfunction, immune dysfunction, cardiac disease, premature aging, and death." The Immune System Cure, Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe & Patrick J.D. Bouic, Ph.D.

·         Glutathione (L-gammaglutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine) is a tri-peptide of the amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. Glutathione is an antioxidant compound found in living animal and plant tissue. It takes up and gives off hydrogen and is important in cellular respiration. A deficiency of glutathione can cause hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells, leading to anemia) and oxidative stress. Glutathione is essential in intermediary metabolism as a donor of sulfhydryl groups which are essential for the detoxification of acetaminophen. [PDR Medical Dictionary. Spraycar. 1999] Selenium is a structural component of, and a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase.

·         Glutathione is the major endogenous antioxidant produced by the cell. Glutathione participates directly in the neutralization of free radicals, reactive oxygen compounds, and maintains exogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E in their reduced (active) forms. In addition, through direct conjugation, glutathione plays a role in the detoxification of many xenobiotics (foreign compounds) both organic and inorganic.

·         Glutathione is an essential component of the human immune response. Proposed mechanisms of immune enhancement include: optimizing macrophage functions, offsetting oxidative damage associated            with lymphocyte monoclonal expansion, and stabilizing the mitochondrial membrane thereby, reducing apoptosis in lymphocytes

·         "A review article published in the Annals of Pharmacology stated that glutathione is important in DNA synthesis and repair, protein and prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport, detoxification of toxins and carcinogens, enhancement of the immune system, and protection from oxidation and enzyme activations." The Immune System Cure, Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe & Patrick J.D. Bouic, Ph.D.

·         Research suggests that abnormally low glutathione levels may increase your risk for Heart Attack. Eric Topol, MD, New England Journal of Medicine.

·         "Glutathione has potent anti-viral properties - if tissue and serum glutathione levels are significantly increased, the replication of most pathogens are slowed or stopped. Conversely, glutathione deficiency produces a pro-viral effect." Paul Cheney, M.D., Ph.D. and expert in the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Transcribed from a workshop presentation on the clinical management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

·         As we age, there is a precipitous drop in Glutathione levels. Lower glutathione levels have been implicated in many diseases associated with aging.
Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 47: 1021-28 1994

·         Antioxidants are well documented to play vital roles in health maintenance and disease prevention. Glutathione is your cells' own major antioxidant.
Biochemical Pharmacology 47: 2113-2123 1994

·         Glutathione plays a role in eliminating many carcinogens as well as maintaining immune function. Cancer Letters 57: 91-94 1991

·         Strong muscular activity, such as that experienced by athletes, generates oxyradicals [free radicals] leading to muscle fatigue and poorer performance. Glutathione neutralizes these radicals.
Sport Medicine 21: 213-238, 1996

·         Glutathione detoxifies many pollutants, carcinogens, and poisons, including many in fuel exhaust and cigarette smoke. It retards damage from radiation such as seen with loss of the ozone.
Annual Reviews of Biochemistry 52: 711-780 1983

·         Glutathione not only recycles vitamin C, but is the cells? primary antioxidant. According to Lester Packer, Ph.D., maintaining high levels of glutathione is critical for life low glutathione levels are a marker for death at an early age. Glutathione diminishes as we age and cannot be boosted significantly through supplements.

·         Glutathione is a component of glutathione peroxidase. Researchers have found that people over the age of 60 who have high blood levels of glutathione have fewer illnesses, lower cholesterol and blood pressure and healthier weights than people with lower levels. People over 69 with low blood levels of glutathione are more likely to have diabetes, arthritis and heart disease.
