This guide covers how to lighten your skin by 1-2 shades minimum.
The pharmaceutical in question is glutathione.
What is L-Glutathione?
To keep it short: L-Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine.
Those amino acids are in combination great antioxidants. Apart from that for our purpose of skin ligthening L-Glutathione causes an inhibition of an enzyme called tyrosinase. This enzyme regulates melanin production, thus meaning if we block it skin lightening is a result of that.
This leads to an increase of the production of pheomelanin in comparison to the darker eumelanin.
Injectable versus oral
The oral version of L-Glutathione has an extremely poor bioavailability, meanwhile injectable is obviously absorbed completely.
If you consist on using oral L-Glutathione keep in mind you would have to use a much larger dosage compared to the injectable version. A decent oral dosage ranges between 2-3 grams a day.
Key Benefits
Protocol and Dosage
A common clinical protocol includes 500-1000 mg of L-Glutathione administered 1-2 times per week, often paired with Vitamin C to enhance stability and efficacy. Some protocols escalate the dose over time based on individual response.
I would recommend to start with 500mg eod to sustain stable blood serum concentration, you can titrate the dosage up anyway afterwards. After that you can cruise on 500mg once or twice per week.
