  I think its good lol

  I bought the product specifically to lighten scars but at this point I'm invested to whiten my whole body lol for science.After one bottle down (finished under a month because I take 3 a day) I haven't noticed significant skin lightening but my nails are glorious 👌 finger nails and toe nails looking very healthy, my skin overall seems more hydrated but I wouldn't say I'm lighter yet. Sometimes I need to poop soon after taking this lolI have purchased another bottle and will continue to take this to see when my skin begins to lighten. For reference I'm native American so I have light medium skin, but my overall complexion is closer to that of someone of hispanic descent. Meaning my face and hands are more pale than my body itself. And my overall skintone is more olive with yellow undertones.Edit (Aug 30)I'm just about done with my 2nd bottle and I have seen some more benefits. On my big toes I had these small dark calluses from my toes rubbing against my shoes, they're going away and the skin is beginning to be more uniform.My skin overall is more even and less dull, I wouldn't say less pigmented, but brighter. I'm waiting until someone comments on how much paler I look lol I will continue to take it and order a 3rd bottleEdit (Feb 11 2023)After 5 bottles, and an increase to taking 6 pills a day (2 pills 3x daily), I feel confident to say that this product is really only benefited my nails and hair. I'm 25 and in good health to begin with so I can't say if glutathione really impacts health in a positive way for someone who's already in good condition lolI did give a bottle to an older coworker of mine out of curiosity to see if his age (45ish) would be a factor in actually feeling some kind of positive change. He did note that he felt more energetic and was able to sleep better. He also claimed it brightened up his complexion (he's naturally a deeper brown toned shade and claimed that after finishing the bottle he noticed his skin wasn't as dull). And keep in mind I did ask what his skincare routine is like and this man only washes with a bar soap and doesn't moisturize.As for myself and my own experiment to see if taking large doses of this would dramatically reduce my melanin output. I can officially say it only contributed to minor skin lightening. My acne scars did not improve as much as I was anticipating. My lips did get a but pinker as the corners (naturally a little darker on me) did lighten up a tad bit, but nothing on the level of what Accutane did for me. Accutane made my lips very pink and even in color as my skin turnover was sped up.My sometimes ashy elbows were able to almost become the same shade as the rest of arms, but I did also incorporate AHA lotions to them so I can't say if the glutathione is to get all the credit.My junk downstairs did not change in color lol everyone has naturally darker private areas (I guess besides people with little to no melanin 🤔 as their junk would be more redish brown)So if your intention was to take this product to make you're darker areas "even out" and be more aesthetically even toned and beautiful, it doesn't happen to the level that you're hoping 😆Itll be minor shift in the direction you wanna go. But the price will eventually add up and I don't see it as worth it.In conclusion, it's good for hair and nails. Delivers a 2/10 change in skin lightening. Delivers a 7/10 change in overall skin appearance (by that I mean my skin just looks smoother, less fine lines, and maybe it holds on to more moisture)

  Glutathione for the win

  I stopped taking NOW Glutathione 3wks ago for NAC when a wholistic friend (and AI) suggested it might be better. Big mistake. First I started getting frequent headaches, less sleep & appetite then followed a downward spiral of energy and mood for 2wks while on family vacation. I wasn'I expecting profound immediate results like this and came back completely depleted of energy last week. Not good but so grateful my mind pointed right to NAC. Our bodies talk to us all the time--if we'd just listen...NAC is a precursor to Glutathione but the body still needs to convert it to glutathione - if it can, effectively. Apparently mine did not.Next I'll try liposomal glutathione as a more direct absorption to the bloodstream but for now, I'll go the digestive route with this again to get my stress levels down and resilience up.Also, taking theanine is a huge game changer in reducing subconscious stress overnight.Great product, 1 pill a day, affordable with almost immediate results - for me. I reordered the NOW Glutathione same day shipping and on day two i'm already recovering--finally.

  Reliable glutathione brand

  This is one of my most trusted glutathione brands, and I've been supplementing with glutathione for over 22 years-back when hardly anyone in the U.S. had heard of it. I used to import glutathione from Japan, as it wasn't readily available here at the time.I alternate between oral supplementation and IV/IM glutathione depending on my wellness protocols, and I can say that this product is a cost-effective alternative that delivers reliable results with consistent use. Over the years, it has brightened my skin, improved its overall health and glow, and supported my detox and anti-aging routine.Many people give up too soon, but glutathione works best when taken long-term. The NOW Foods formula is also combined with milk thistle and alpha lipoic acid, which makes it even more effective for liver support and antioxidant protection.At 40, people still mistake me for someone in my late 20s. I rarely get sick-only 4 times in the last 20 years-and I credit that in part to staying consistent with glutathione. There are many brands out there now, but I always return to this one for its quality, affordability, and dependable results.

  Best option for Glutathione

  Best brand I have have bought and I've deviated some and regretted it. Great for detoxing chemical exposure if you are sensitive to fragrances or household cleaners.
