Oral and Intravenous Glutathione for Skin whitening

Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants and is used to counteract the damage caused by oxidative stress.

Oral and intravenous glutathione have proven benefits:

• Dermal and epidermal pigmentation
• Excessive tanning
• Adjuvant to chemotherapy
• Improvement of skin immunity
• Systemic improvements: liver disease, sperm motility etc
• Improves hair texture and prevents hair loss

Glutathione works in skin whitening by:

• Converting the eumelanin(which gives the skin dark colour) to phaeomelanin
• Inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase which is responsible for melanin production
• Anti-oxidant action

Glutathione infusions have become increasingly popular and we have had increasing patient interest in our clinic.

The best results are obtained when:

• The infusions are given together with co-factors: vitamins and minerals
• Glutathione is administered in the right dosage(600 to 1200 mg) per session
• A number of 6-10 sessions are given weekly or fortnightly

The patients who are interested must book a medical appointment with Dr Bitlan to ensure suitability and have pre-treatment investigations (screening for G6PD, full blood count, liver function tests and thyroid screen)
