Glutathione for skin lightening treatment and Ayurvedic herbs to increase its level

Introduction

Glutathione is a strong antioxidant which is naturally found in human cells. This antioxidant has an anti-melanogenic property and known as a popular "natural skin lightening molecule". It helps to neutralize the free radicals, improve immunity and helps in detoxification of the body. It is also a strong natural anti-cancer agent found in the body.

Glutathione composed of three amino acids.

• Cysteine
• Glutamic Acid
• Glycine

Glutathione for skin lightening treatment

Glutathione reduces the levels of melanin. Melanin is a pigment which provides color to human skin, hair, and eyes. More production of melanin causes dark complexion Glutathione has an anti-melanogenic property, it reduces the melanin level by deactivating the pigment-producing enzyme that is "tyrosinase" or by hampering the conversion of tyrosine into melanin. Therefore glutathione helps in the lightening color of the skin.

It also fights against the free radicals that cause skin pigmentation, acne, freckles, age spots, scars, blemishes, and dark spots. Glutathione also helps in the building of body tissues and the process of their repair.

• But glutathione levels decrease with the increase in age. Due to the low level of glutathione, the cells in the body turn older earlier. Hence, to increase the level of glutathione in the body and to maintain the younger-looking glowing skin, people take glutathione externally. Glutathione comes in various forms such as creams, lotions, tablets, and injections. But these oral and topical medicines will not absorb well in the body thus won’t show their results. Then people prefer intravenous (IV) injections of glutathione which are even painful.
• The intake of these preparations may show various side effects like low zinc levels in the body due to excess intake of Glutathione, and they also increase the risk of asthma attacks.

To prevent these side effects, Ayurveda provides various Ayurvedic herbs which increase the level of Glutathione level in the body, naturally.
