Glutathione – Not Just A Beauty Capsule

Posted by Antoniette Sellaro on April 22, 2010 4 comments

With all the beauty products that are in the market, from cosmetics, vitamins, food and drinks with anti-oxidants and oral supplements, consumers would usually ask one question:  Which among this plethora of products really works?

I can only recommend products that I have already tried for myself.  I am a person that is not really interested in cosmetics or make-ups although I have been trying several products lately.  I think as women mature we develop more interest in this product lines.  There anti-aging products that I have tried though even before I reached the age of 30.  Don’t be shocked.  It was not because I was feeling old but it was because of some health issues that I got to know them and try them.

I have recently mentioned in my earlier post about the Glutathione capsules.  I have known this anti-oxidant and beauty capsule for more than a decade now.  It was once popularized by celebrities who wanted to make their skin complexion fairer (What’s wrong with them?  Our Filipina or olive complexion is beautiful!)  I have also known a person who would takes the highest dosage allowable just to make her skin really fair (yeah, this one is obsessed!).  My dermatologist prescribed to me the glutathione capsules to make my skin healthier.  I am a sufferer of atopic dermatitis which can really get bad all year round.  Aside from the fact that I am allergic to dust and develop food intolerance when my skin has been damaged due to my allergy, my dermatologist prescribed glutathione as a supplement.  She suggested that I take 500-1000mg of glutathione every day.

What are the main benefits of Glutathione?

Glutathione is made of three amino acids – cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid.  It is known as the most abundant natural anti-oxidant that can be found in every part of the human body, especially the lungs, intestinal tract, and liver. However, the largest amounts of glutathione can be found in the liver, where it is used to detoxify harmful compounds so that they can be removed from the body through the bile.

Glutathione also helps keep red blood and white blood cells healthy to maximize the disease-fighting power of the immune system.

Glutathione has an anti-aging effect on our body as well.  Good supply of glutathione in our body helps our body fight free radicals that can expedite the wearing down of our body.

The retention and good dosage of glutathione will help boost our immune system.  There is also no known side effect of taking it in regular dosage.  What I love about glutathione is the noticeable effect on how good it did on my skin.  My skin was more young looking and blemishes are almost invisible.  It gives a glow on the skin that makes its appearance so fresh and supple.

Remember though that good diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle are still the key to looking young and staying well.

Bio-Oil: Scar Removal & Anti-Ageing Product

I used to take heaps of Glutathione tablets just to get rid of unwanted marks and discoloration on my skin.  It was really effective; it worked amazingly on my skin!  But spending thousands of pesos a month for a regular supply seemed impractical – that though I realized after almost a year.

With the revolution of skin scar removal products and other scientific skin treatment, department stores, chemists and pharmacists were flooded with curious consumers who were hopeful to avail remedy of their skin issues.  I have never tried a skin oil intended for removing scars and marks that is as good as Bio-Oil.  Sounds familiar?

Bio Oil Specialist Skin Care

I have seen Bio-Oil before in pharmacies and department stores.  However, I was always hesitant to try it because I have tried other similar products to which I just wasted my hard earned money.  Almost nine months ago I gave Bio-Oil a try and I was not disappointed.  At of this time, the scars that I got from my skin allergies and rashes due to food intolerance are much lighter now.  Their appearance is almost invisible.  I can tell that Bio-Oil works faster and very effectively in removing marks.

Bio-Oil is also recommended as skin moisturizer that keeps the skin young-looking.  It is also safe to use as facial moisturizer according to the chemist in the pharmacy where I bought it from.  Bio-Oil contains the breakthrough ingredient Pur Cellin oil, other natural oils, chamomile,  as well vitamins A and E.

For me, keeping our skin healthy is a combination of direct skin pampering and treatment, nutrition and goodnight sleep and rest.  Nothing beats the wonders that sufficient water intake can do to our skin.  I have also started to avoid sugar whether from drinks, sweets or desserts as sugar can cause skin breakouts.  Although the marks that I get from rashes due to my allergy is almost unavoidable, I am confident that Bio-Oil will continue delivering what it promises-and that is removing scars and maintaining youthful skin.
