BEWARE!!!
NOT ALL GLUTATHIONE PREPARATIONS ARE SAFE
Types of Glutathione Preparations to AVOID:
Glutathione praparations that are in combinations with the following:
Tyrostat (L Tyrosine) / Titanium / Silicon Oxide:
Their oral format are still highly questionable by clinicians. This is used only for topical consumption and not to be
taken orally. There were reports that even their hair turned white and feeling of pain and firming of the breasts and
oftentimes causes allergic reactions. These ingredients cannot be taken if the person is suffering from
hyperthyroidism.
Goat / Sheep Placenta Extract:
Same with the Tyrostat (L Tyrosine) and Titanium Oxide, it is not recommended to be taken orally. The usual
complaints of users are that they produce acne and they get fat.
Vit. A and Vit E:
There's nothing wrong with these vitamins but take note that skin whitening pills will take you months and months
of daily dose regimen. These vitamins have hypervitaminosis (toxic to our body in prolonged use).
These forms of vitamins are what we call Fat-Soluble Vitamins (such as Vit A,D,E,& K). Fat-Soluble Vitamins are
metabolized and hydrolized in the liver. In prolonged use, fat soluble vitamins can be very detrimental to ones
health since excess of these preparations will not just simply be excreted and will just be stored in the liver making
the liver work hard and exhausted.
That is why doctors advise their patients to rest their liver after at least a month of taking Fat-Soluble Vitamins.
Water-soluble vitamins such as Vit. C & B- complex, when not used by the body will just be excreted via urine, bile
or feces.
Zinc Aspartate:
Zinc Aspartate is an anabolic mineral formula when used properly, increases anabolic hormone
(testosterone) levels, muscle strength and endurance in athletes.
There are claims that aspartate is a special type of mineral transporter for cations, such as magnesium,
into cells. Magnesium aspartate has not been found to be more biologically effective when compared
with other magnesium salts.
There are also claims that aspartate has ergogenic effects, that it enhances performance in both
prolonged exercise and short intensive exercise. It is hypothesized that aspartate, especially the
potassium magnesium aspartate salt, spares stores of muscle glycogen and/or promotes a faster rate
of glycogen resynthesis during exercise. It has also been hypothesized that L-aspartate can enhance
short intensive exercise by serving as a substrate for energy production in the Krebs cycle and for
stimulating the purine nucleotide cycle.
An animal study using injected aspartate failed to find any evidence of a glycogen-sparing effect or any
ergogenic effects whatsoever. A more recent double-blind human study of male weight trainers similarly
found aspartate supplementation to have no effect, and another study of the effect of aspartate on short
intensive exercise again found no effect.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Aspartate supplementation is contraindicated in those hypersensitive to any component of the
preparation.
PRECAUTIONS
Because of lack of long-term safety studies, Aspartate salts should be avoided by children, pregnant
women and lactating women.
So before buying Glutathione preparations in the market, look into its other combinations, ingredients and
components (usually hidden in small letters as other ingredients) and always ask your dermatologist for more
information.
Beware also of those fly by night sellers. Many are imitations only most especially when you cannot read the label
(often written on Japanese characters). These are now being sold in Binondo for only P8.00 per capsule.
Check its manufacturer, Importer and distributor in the Philippines for its legitimacy. If they are legal, they should
possess Certificate of Authenticity such as USFDA - Process Food Certificate, Import Certificate and Free Sale
Certificate and BFAD Registrations. The company importing the product should be license importer by BFAD.
Because of its high-price raw materials, glutathione are often times faked and adulterated. There are
preparations that do not contain the correct claimed milligram contents. So Always ask for the Certificate of
Analysis (Assay) just to be sure that you are buying a pure glutathione preparation.

| IMPORTANT Announcements - BEWARE!: There are many glutathione preparations proliferating now in the market. One way to test if these brands are legitimate and legal is if they are available in big drugstores and pharmacies such as Mercury Drug Corp or Watsons Outlets. There big drugstores see to it that they have all the proper documents and legalities presented such as SEC, DTI, BFAD LTO as importer, GMP, Free Sale Certificates, Customs Importation documents, Certificate of Analysis, etc. Their product should be backed up by Medical Consultants at any given time. If they only exist on websites, do overclaims (such as superwhitening pills), and even copy our websites, we encourage you to double check their legitimacy. NEVER PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK FOR SOME MERE CENTS! |
