Metathione - L-Glutathione Skin Whitening Suppliments

If you are looking for a supplement that can truly whiten your skin all over, look for the brand that is trusted by many -- MET TATHIONE. It works from the inside out, giving you evenly toned, radiantly whiter skin in as little as two weeks. Aside from giving you smoother, evenly toned whiter skin, MET TATHIONE also helps strengthen the immune system, removes toxins from the liver, boosts sexual potency, and protects the body from free radical damage.



Whoah, that's a really good marketing pitch. But before you buy, let's dig a little deeper on what MET TATHIONE is - does it really work, and is there a catch (side effects)?

MET TATHIONE - is a kind of GLUTATHIONE which is a small protein composed of 3 amino acids called cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine, produced normally by the body in response to today’s environment such as pollution in the air we breathe, water we drink, chemicals & pesticides in the food we eat that cause damages in our cells & system.

Dermatologists prescribe  MET TATHIONE for its only side effect: whitening of dark skin. People with darker skin tone report that taking  MET TATHIONE capsules along with vitamin C for three to six months or more actually lightens the color of their skin. This side effect varies from person to person and it assures to really whiten your skin in the shortest period of time for it has combined the main components for an active whitening result.

Ahh, so MET TATHIONE is the brand and GLUTATHIONE is the good 'ingredient'. Tell me more!

Everyday, chemicals in the form of pesticides, household cleaners, and cosmetic and personal care products, to name a few, find their way into our bodies and must be neutralized by the liver. Efficient liver function is therefore extremely important to eliminate toxins from both inside and outside the body, including alcohol - the single most toxic substance to liver cells. To keep the liver healthy, it requires a constant supply of antioxidant nutrients. One such antioxidant is glutathione.

GLUTATHIONE has a lot of benefits that revolve around being a great antioxidant and being very beneficial to nourish the liver. GLUTATHIONE  itself is basically a combination of the Amino Acids L-GLUTATHIONE, L-Cysteine, and L-Glycine (which is one reason it helps with the liver), but the combination of all three make it a very potent antioxidant. Because of all that, it helps to protect the cells as well as helping the body to clean itself since the liver is the main detoxifying liver of the body. As far as side effects, there are virtually none since you'll get these Amino Acids in the proteins you eat (although in smaller amounts), too.

Acknowledged as the body's "master antioxidant," GLUTATHIONE strengthens the immune system, delays ageing, boosts sexual potency, prevents skin allergies and stress-related diseases... plus, decreases the production of melanin to whiten skin. It is found in high concentrations in the liver, where it binds to heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as metabolic wastes, and transforms them into a form that can be easily flushed out of the body.

GLUTATHIONE is so important to our health that lack of it can lead to cell death, accelerated ageing, as well as a range of degenerative disorders like cirrhosis of the liver, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Below are more conditions related to the lack of GLUTATHIONE(taken from drugs.com):

Ok, I'm sold to the idea that  GLUTATHIONE is good for your health and body. There are lots of  GLUTATHIONE products in the market - some much cheaper than MET TATHIONE. So what gives? How is MET TATHIONE more superior than the rest? 

According to the Woodlands Healing Research Center in Philadelphia, USA, "GLUTATHIONE must be in the reduced form to work properly. The un-reduced form is much cheaper and isn't metabolically active." (Source: www.woodmed.com)

Most brands, like the ones flooding the market, are in the un-reduced, thus inferior, form. So even if they claim to have 500mg per capsule, it will not compensate for un-reduced GLUTATHIONE's inherent weakness.

MET TATHIONE, on the other hand, contains 250mg of 100% premium-grade reduced GLUTATHIONE from Japan. It is a concentrated, thus more potent, dose which satisfies your daily requirements. It is more superior, in fact, compared to un-reduced glutathione at even double the dosage. Fortunately, there is MET TATHIONE which provides GLUTATHIONE in its reduced form for greater absorbability and activity.

Detoxifiers in the body must be in the reduced form to work properly.The unreduced form is much cheaper but in NOT effective.


Recommended dosage:

* As antioxidant/ anti-ageing: Take 1-2 capsules per day
* As skin whitener: Take 2-4 capsules per day

Suggested intake according to the individual's skin tone:

* medium to brown skin: 3-6 months
* dark brown skin: 6-13 months
* very dark skin: 12-24 months
* black skin: 24 months
 


MET TATHIONE Frequently Asked Questions


1. How long before I really see the results?

The average period where a user can see visible change in his/her skin color as a result of MET TATHIONE takes about 2 to 3 months.

2. Why is it that some people see results early and others took long before they can see it?

For the simple reason that people have different metabolism; weight is also a factor.

 
 3. What is the recommended dosage in able to achieve a faster and visible result?

In order to achieve a faster result, the right dosage for a certain person must be based on his/her body weight and skin tone. If your weight is above average (70 kilos above) and your skin tone is morena or light brown, it’s recommended to take 3-4 capsules daily. If you are black, take 4-6 capsules daily (again, depends on weight). Generally, we recommend users to take 1 capsule daily if they have a light complexion already, it’s potent enough to achieve a change of skin tone in as early as 4-8 weeks (again, results may vary from person to person). Once you have achieved the desired skin tone you may maintain it by taking 1 capsule daily.

4. Do you think it’s not bad to take a high dosage of MET –TATHIONE everyday?

Definitely. There is no such thing as over dosage in these whitening pills. Did you know that primarily Glutathione is given at a daily dose of more than 500mg to certain patients? MET-TATHIONE and its components are all supplements; they are in existence in our body. They are water-soluble which just means that if there’s anything in excess, it will be just excreted through the urine or bile.

5. What makes MET-TATHIONE different compared to other whitening pill? 
 
The ingredients are not only powerful individually, but also work together in what is known as antioxidant cycling. Antioxidant cycling is the term that describes how antioxidants work together to extend each others lives and make each other more powerful. And that’s also the reason why it is so effective to really whiten the skin in its long term use.

6. Is it just ok to continue using some whitening creams or gels while using it?

Yes

7. How does MET-TATHIONE process start? Can it give me an equal skin tone all over?


The reason why our skin becomes white in using MET-TATHIONE is because it reverses the dark melanin pigments turning to a light pigment and reduces melanocytes which produces melanin. Less melanin, a whiter skin. Met-Tathione whitening process starts inside the skin (dermal layer) going outside (epidermal layer), that’s the reason why it takes time to be able to see initial changes in your skin tone. The whitening process goes head to foot, meaning, you will have a white even skin tone in your whole body.

8. How can I consider MET-TATHIONE? Is it a drug, vitamin or supplements? It is just ok to take it with all my other medications and vitamins? Is there anything to avoid when taking MET-TATHIONE?

MET-TATHIONE can be considered as food/dietary supplements. This is not a drug and so there are no known contradiction and precautions to be taken into consideration.

9. Once I have achieved the skin tone I want, is it just ok to stop taking the pills or should I continue it?

It is advisable to still continue taking the pills even though you have achieve the skin tone you want. Take 1 capsule a day as maintenance. We all know that MET-TATHIONE is very good to our health and so taking it in long term will not only make us white but also it will promote a better health.

10. Are the whitening effects of MET-TATHIONE permanent? Will my skin tone go back to its original color once I stop using it?

Its whitening effects are permanent only if you will maintain it (by avoiding exposure to sunlight). You won’t go back to your original skin color even it you stop taking these pills, however, there is a tendency for you to be tan or darken your skin if you expose yourself to direct sunlight and other harsh elements.

 
11. Is the exposure to the sun will affect the whitening process or it is bad when I am taking MET-TATHIONE?

Sunlight provides Vitamin D, but right now we all know that it is not safe for our skin to be exposed from it for the fact that our ozone layer is much depleted and so will not protect us from UV rays. Exposure to sunlight will indirectly affect the whitening process.

12. What if I am taking MET-TATHIONE but most of the time I am exposed to the sun, what will I do?

Use sunblock or sunscreen lotion that has an SPF of 45 to 60. It will protect you from the harmful effects of the sun.

13. Is MET-TATHIONE safe in the liver?

Let’s hear a renowned doctor says about it: “The level of glutathione in the liver is critically linked to the livers ability to detoxify. The higher the glutathione content, the greater the liver capacity to detoxify harmful chemicals. Typically, when we are exposed to chemicals to which can damage the liver including alcohol, the concentration of glutathione in the liver is substantially reduced. This reduction makes the liver susceptible to damage.” Nature’s Potent Liver Remedy by Dr. Murray.

14. Is there any untoward side-effect from the long term use of MET-TATHIONE?

There is no side-effects or interactions known with oral administration of MET-TATHIONE even in its prolonged use. The side-effect, we all know, is the SKIN WHITENING itself.

15. I am in a hurry to see the results and also I want to be slim while I am taking the pills, is it ok to take slimming pills or other products?


MET-TATHIONE is considered as a supplement and therefore safe to be taken with other medications, vitamins or supplements. However, we recommend people using whitening pills to just use slimming creams or whitening creams so as letting the whitening pill work solely in your body.

16. Is it safe to be taken even by young teens who want to be white?

Yes, it is. MET-TATHIONE is considered as a supplement. It’s just as if you were taking your regular dose of vitamins everyday, therefore, it is safe to be taken by young teens from age 14 years and all ages who also want to be white. Henceforth, the right dosage should be taken into consideration.

17. Is there any side effect in taking MET-TATHIONE?

The side effect in taking MET-TATHIONE is the WHITENING of the skin already.

18. Is it better to take MET-TATHIONE with an empty stomach or should I eat my meal first before taking it?

As a dietary supplement, take one capsule daily with a meal. For whitening, take two to four capsules daily with a meal.

19. Can men take MET-TATHIONE?

Yes. Men’s basic skin structure is the same as women’s.

20. Is it BFAD Approved?

Yes, MET-TATHIONE 500mg from Japan is BFAD Approved with an LTO NO. –DRII-MM-F-3481.
