Product Review: Relumins Glutathione 1000 mg

Thursday, April 12, 2018

     Hello dearies! I've been receiving questions about the best glutathione brands that I've tried to date. Among the brands that I've reviewed, I always recommend three to four brands based on their price, ingredients, and effects on my skin. These brands are tried and tested and many swears by their effects too. 

      Today, I'll be sharing another promising brand that I will include on my recommendation list. If you're NOT allergic to ALA (alpha lipoic acid) then rejoice now because of Relumins Glutathione 1000 mg or Relumins Gluta-1000 has the highest ALA content among the brand that I've tried. Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the best glutathione boosters because it gives a beautiful glow and according to Livestrong, it is 400 times stronger than vitamin C and E. Check out my thoughts on this Relumins Glutathione variant below.

Product Review: Gluta-White 500

Friday, January 19, 2018

     I've made a lot of whitening supplements here on my blog. The most famous whitening supplement is glutathione and I presume that you already know what it does to your body aside from whitening. Glutathione is the favorite whitening pill of many Filipinas. It comes in different forms now and if you read the ingredients, one or more boosters are combined with glutathione to make the effect faster.

     For today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Gluta-White 500- the first brand of glutathione that's listed on MIMS and does not contain any boosters in the ingredient. This one is pure L-glutathione in every capsule. If you're a beginner in taking whitening supplements, I highly suggest this brand because if allergic reactions arise, there's only one culprit. No other ingredients to blame. Hahaha! But seriously, glutathione alone can be effective as long as you take it with Vitamin C. Full review of Gluta-White 500 below :)

Ishigaki Glutathione Now FDA Approved

Monday, April 24, 2017

     Hello dearies! I will not make a long introduction for this blog post. I'm sure that one or two readers here are currently taking Ishigaki Glutathione. This brand is the cheapest in the market and in my observation, one of the most effective in giving pinkish white or translucent skin. 

     For your information, makers of Ishigaki Glutathione made changes in their packaging, labeling, and now it's FDA approved, registered as amino acid blend. Glutathione (GSH) is often referred to as the body's master antioxidant. Compost of three amino acids - cysteine, glycine, and glutamate. You may also find a short description of both variants and know their difference. Read more details after the jump:)

Product Review: Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex

Monday, June 27, 2016

     Hello dearies! Did you miss my glutathione reviews? Anyhoo, here's another brand that is becoming popular nowadays because I've heard that it's being endorsed by a famous female dance group- EB BABES! Another fun fact: my cousin is one of the members of EB Babes from the first batch to be exact. She's EB Babe Angel :) By the time that she was still in the group, her group mate Hopia takes Relumins everyday.

     Does the word Relumins rings a bell? I'm sure that you've heard and see this brand of glutathione way way back but only a few have actually tried it. Some find it expensive because a bottle costs around 2,000 php. I will just make my introduction short because I'm excited to show my photo and share my thoughts on Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex that was sent to me by cheskas store for a review. Full review details below :)

Product Review: Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex
 
     I will not go into full details about glutathione as I believe that once the word glutathione comes to mind, it's a no brainer that the word is all about whitening. Again, I'm already fair to begin with and the thoughts that I will express here are my honest opinion about the product during the time I'm taking it. Sharing with you some benefits of Relumins as what is written on the bottle.

Product Review: Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex

  • It is the most effective oral skin whitener available and has numerous other health benefits.

Other health benefits:

  • Allergies. 
  • Glutathione, especially cysteine, improves the body’s non-specific immune responses, producing more T4 white blood cells. They also help to protect the lungs.
  • Can increase endurance & well being.

     At first, I was not convinced that this brand will pass my standards in glutathione review department because the brand became popular after being endorsed by an EB Babe member. I was like "yah, it will sell like hotcakes because it's being endorsed by EB Babes", well after taking this for a month, I was proven wrong! Reading the ingredients, I saw potent glutathione boosters included in every capsule like ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid, NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine), Vitamin E, and Selenomethonine.

What I like:
  • The packaging- It is tightly sealed once you purchase a bottle so no need to worry about contamination. There's also a seal on top of the bottle opening.
  • Stinky rotten egg odor is present once you open the bottle. 
  • Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex also contains ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine), Vitamin E, and Selenomethionine known as potent boosters to speed up the whitening process of the skin.
  • No allergic reactions vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever.
  • It made my skin glowing the next day even if I only have 4 hours of sleep every night.
  • I did not breakout before and after my menstrual period.
  • The color of my freckles lightened a bit.
  • After taking this religiously for a month, I can say that it lightened some of the insect bites in my legs. 
  • It evened out my skin tone. 
  • I'm already fair to begin with but Relumins gave a creamy and almost translucent white color to my pale and dull skin. 
  • Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package. 

What I don't like:
  • The price is a bit steep for budget-conscious individuals.
  • This has issues before on FDA and I'm not sure if it's already FDA approved as of this writing.
  • Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
  • There are individuals who are allergic to ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid).
  • To be really honest, I have a hard time swallowing the capsule. It hurts my throat. For the first two weeks of taking Relumins, I feel like I have a sore throat after swallowing it.

Will I purchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.25/5 rating. I like the effects of Relumins on my skin but I'm having a hard time swallowing it. Maybe it's just me that's why I always tell those who want to try this kind of whitening supplements to take at their own risk. The effects that I experienced will be different from what they'll experience because we have different body composition. 

     I'm satisfied with the results that I saw after taking Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex after one month but hate the feeling while taking it. If you have the budget, you can try this.

Product Review: Tathion 307 Glutathione

Thursday, April 14, 2016

     Hello, dearies! Here's another review of oral whitening supplement- Tathion 307. This brand of glutathione is famous in Japan but only sold with a prescription as this is already pure in form. From what I've read from different forums online, this is the exact supplement given to patients with liver disorders.  

     Anyhoo, I will not make the introduction long. After taking Tathion 307 for a month, I saw the results that I'm looking for. Even though it's one of the most expensive brands next to MET that I've tried to date, I will still highly recommend it. So if you have an extra budget to spend, try Tathion 307 :)

Before and after

Product Review: Tathion 307 Glutathione
The color of my arms is lighter in my observation. This photo was taken around 3 p. m. I'm using an ASUS phone, so the camera was set to beautification mode but the settings are in the lowest number. I can say that my skin has improved after 1 month of taking Tathion 307.

What I like:
  • The packaging is travel-friendly and handy. 
  • There's no funky or weird smell.
  • The taste is sweet.
  • It's easy to swallow. 
  • It's Japan FDA approved. This country employs a strict standard in beauty supplements.
  • No allergic reactions like breakouts and other adverser reaction especially upset tummy, vomiting, headache, nausea, or whatsoever.
  • I did not see any cystic acne popping around my chin last menstrual period.
  • It made me look less haggard even if I need to wake up early and have fewer hours of sleep the night before a special event.
  • I saw a slight change in the color of my freckles but very minimal.
  • After finishing 3 blister packs, I can say that there's a big difference on the color of my insect bites in my hand. 
  • Tathion 307 glutathione made my skin luminous and glowing. I'm already fair, to begin with but it gave me a creamy and almost translucent white color. I can see one shade difference from my arms and my face when I look in my not so recent photos.
  • I always have a good night sleep during the time I'm taking this supplement.
  • My appetite did not change. 
  • Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package. 
  • It's Japan made. Never hear that there's a counterfeit of this brand in the market today.

What I don't like:
  • It's expensive!
  • Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
  • No ingredients in the packaging.

Will I purchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 5/5 rating. Even though this is very expensive to maintain, you're assured of the results. If you're going to calculate, you're only taking 300 mg of pure glutathione every day but it will give you a radiant and bright skin. The results may vary from person to person and there are individuals who react faster to supplements and give them positive results. Again, if you have morena skin tone kindly expect three or more months before you see a drastic change in the color of your skin.

     Like what I always say in my previous reviews, there is also what they call a plateau where the effects of products that you will be not that effective as before. Glutathione supplement serves as an ant-oxidant in the liver. It cleanses the body from the toxins accumulated from pollution and chemicals so if you smoke, drink, and always stay late at night this supplement will first cleanse the toxins inside the body and have a tendency to slow down the whitening effect in your body. 

Have you tried Tathion 307 before? Hope you can share your experience :)
