Research findings : Studies demonstrate that both oral glutathione (250-500mg daily) and topical 2% glutathione can brighten skin color in sun-exposed areas as measured by melanin index reduction A 12-week study found that 250mg daily of glutathione led to decreased melanin index and UV spots on face and arms Most effective on sun-exposed areas rather than protected skin What to expect : Gradual lightening of dark spots and hyperpigmentation More even skin tone overall Enhanced skin radiance and luminosity 2
It acts as the ultimate electron donor for the glutaredoxin system, which activates ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) , the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for converting ribonucleotides into the deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) needed for DNA replication
