Product Review: Tatiomax Glutathione Complex with Fucoidan 1800 mg

Sunday, July 19, 2020

     Multivitamins, dietary supplements, and everything in between that will boost the immune system in the time of pandemic is in or should I say it a must! Whenever I buy my son's vitamins at the drugstore, the SA (sales attendant) will always recommend a random glutathione brand that I need to take in conjunction with vitamin c for more health benefits.

     So today, I'll be reviewing an all in one supplement for whiter, younger and glowing skin. This brand has been in the market for years now and if my memory serves me right, Tatiomax Glutathione Complex with Fucoidan is a new formulation- an advanced anti-aging formula for detoxification, immune boosting, cell rejuvenator and potent antioxidant. If you’re the type who likes to take anti-aging and overall wellness to the next level, this supplement is for you. A bit pricey but it’s FDA approved plus vegetarian-friendly. Cheska's Store sent this for me to try and test if it's true to their claims especially in the whitening and anti-aging department. Sharing more of my after taking this capsule for one month below.

Product Review: Nuwhite S-Acetyl Glutathione

Wednesday, October 30, 2019

     Ah, glutathione! The most sought-after whitening pill since time immemorial. If my memory serves me right, this skin beautifying supplement has been serving the Philippine market for more than a decade and until now. Filipinas who want to lighten their skin still choose glutathione because of its main function in the body- as a master anti-oxidant. The skin whitening/lightening part is just a bonus but a big factor in giving the user a flawless, smooth and radiant skin.

     I've reviewed a lot of glutathione in the past and over the years, brands are doing their best in reformulating or innovating their product. From the pure form of glutathione to reduced L-glutathione with alpha-lipoic acid, collagen, placenta, and alpha-arbutin combinations, now comes the newest form S-Acetyl Glutathione with the mission of addressing the lower absorption rates of reduced L-Glutathione. Presenting the new version of Nuwhite, the first one to introduce this to the Philippine market in the form of an all-in-one supplement- Nuwhite S-Acetyl Glutathione. More information about the brand and why I highly recommend this brand :)

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: Luxxe White Glutathione

Monday, April 17, 2017

     I've been receiving a few queries if I'm familiar with FrontRow and their Luxxe Glutathione. I have no idea about the brand until I received a bottle from Cheskas Online Store. This glutathione brand is exclusively manufactured for FrontRow and according to their website:
FrontRow International (also known as FrontRow Philippines) is one of the most trusted online store of FrontRow here in the Philippines and also around the world.We cater food supplements mainly for whitening, anti-aging, slimming and vitamin C & E which is essential nowadays.
     Since some of my readers are suggesting this, I decided to try this glutathione for a month. I took this twice a day with 500 mg of Vitamin C. I was in Singapore last month and tested it in hot Singapore weather for three days. Will I recommend this brand? Scroll down below to see my experience and thoughts on Luxxe White Enhanced Glutathione :)

Product Review: Vitapack Megawhite

Wednesday, March 01, 2017

     Hello dearies! Summer is already here, I'm sure that some of you are planning your vacation and beach trips. But for those who are afraid to bask in the sun, staying at home and doing indoor activities is also fun. If you'll ask me, I would rather stay at home or go on a vacation abroad where the weather is cold. 

     Did you know that fair-skinned individuals easily get burned under the sun? I have fair skin and my problem is sunburn, uneven skin tone, and dark spots from insect bites that's why aside from topical skin care products like whitening soap, lotion, and sunblock, I also take skin care supplements when the need arises. Today, let me share with you my honest to goodness review of Vitapack Megawhite glutathione supplement that I took for 30 days- to help me address uneven skin tone and lighten insect bites. Read more below :)

Product Review: NuWhite Glutathione

Monday, March 14, 2016

     So after taking Ishigaki Advanced Glutathione for a month, I decided to take another brand of glutathione for review- and err detoxification's sake. Whitening is an added bonus for me since I'm already fair, to begin with, but I always deal with uneven skin tone and I'm prone to insect bites, scratches, and paper cuts (because I have thin skin). These mild skin abrasions leave a mark on my skin and there are times that I based my glutathione experience if the wounds heal fast and lighten after a month.

     Another brand of glutathione was sent to me last February by Cheskas Store OnlineNu White Glutathione or Nu White Advanced Whitening L- Glutathione, Collagen, and Placenta. It's a kind of glutathione with added anti-aging ingredients. I started taking this second week of February and after a month, I can say I'm quite satisfied but I also have a sort of love-hate relationship with the results of this product. See my full review of Nu White Advanced Whitening L- Glutathione, Collagen, and Placenta below :)

Product Review: Nu White Glutathione 

What I like:
  • The packaging- it is color pink! It is tightly sealed and contains a leaflet that has information about the product.
  • The scent- unscented.
  • It's in a soft gel capsule that made it faster in absorption.
  • NuWhite Glutathione contains L- Glutathione, Collagen, Placenta Extract, CoQ10, Pomegranate Ellagic Acid known as anti-aging supplements. So once you pop a pill, you're not only whitening your skin but also adding a boost in the anti-aging department. 
  • No discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever while taking this supplement
  • Made my skin glowing.
  • This supplement gave me a good night's sleep. 
  • I'm already fair, to begin with, but it made my skin pinkish/rosy white in tone.
  • t lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month.
  • It also maintained my skin color despite the hot humid weather. I'm always outside doing errands in the afternoon. 
  • I also noticed that my wounds heal faster. I have thin skin and I easily get a scratch from sharp objects,
  • Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:
  • Because of the size of the soft gel, some may find it hard to swallow.
  • The price can be steep for budget-conscious individuals.
  • Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
  • No assurance if this product is BFAD approved.

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

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.25/5 rating. This glutathione gave me a pinkish white effect which I'm not a fan because the pink tinge on my skin makes me think I got darker. Don't worry because you don't get dark or darker, okay? If you have a morena skin tone, it is best to use this brand for more than 3 months. The effectiveness of one product really varies from person to person. Since this supplement is a combination of different skin beautifying products, it will save you money and the effort of drinking different kinds of the supplement every day.

     But this pill contains only a few amounts of collagen, placenta, and ascorbic acid so don't expect drastic effects in the anti-aging department. It's good to know that it doesn't have ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) because some are allergic to it. If you have money to spend, I recommend this brand to you because even if it does not contain the maximum dose of ingredients for the placenta, collagen, ascorbic acid, still there's an amount that will boost skin whitening and anti-aging.

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

     Ever wonder why there are light and fair-skinned individuals who still consider taking glutathione as one of their daily supplements? I'm not sure if you will agree with me but not all 'mapuputi' have clear, flawless, porcelain, and glowing skin. Some women have pale white skin that is not flattering to look at. It's like they look 'sick' because their skin is pale and paperwhite. If you're to going to choose, do you like pale white skin or glowing white skin from within? Let's change your idea of whitening with the new Met Tathione Reduced Glutathione with Algatrium Dietary Supplement.

     I presume all of you already know what glutathione is. It is considered as a food supplement here in our country while in Japan and other countries, it is a medicine that can cure serious illnesses. Our body is producing glutathione naturally but as we age, the production of glutathione slows down that's why our immune system weakens. Glutathione is called the master anti-oxidant as it protects our body from free radicals. The whitening effect is the known side effect of glutathione :) I learned so many things about glutathione during our meeting with Dra. Cecille- Met's resident doctor. To know more about the new Met Tathione and why despite the price, I will still highly recommend it to everyone who wants to experience whitening at its finest :) More information after the jump!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
Met Tathione is a well-known brand of glutathione here in the Philippines. I can say they're one of the pioneer brands that's been commercially sold in pharmacies, drugstores, and beauty stores nationwide. When you say glutathione, the first brand that will come to your mind is MET, right? I've known this brand years ago but wasn't able to try it since I've read so-so reviews about the effects. 

     My cousin has tried Met Tathione years ago with the first formulation and swears with the effects on her body as a whole, she took this not only to whiten skin but to strengthen her immune system. Even though Met Tathione had received some negative reviews in the past, I still believe that premium brands will give great results. Always remember that results vary from one individual to another, the effect of whitening may be fast or slow depending on the individual's body. If you smoke, drink, and have more toxins in the body from environmental pollution, chances are there will be a slower effect since the glutathione will protect you first from those free-radicals then with continued use of glutathione let's say for two more or more, the whitening effect will be seen slowly but surely.

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
Met is a brand under Ivi Ryo Corporation. It is the pioneering brand of glutathione that brings you the latest in whitening: Algatrium. This product innovation makes Met Tathione three times more effective than the previous formulation in bringing out that radiant glow in your skin. 

     It works from the inside out, giving you evenly toned and lighter, glowing skin in as little as two weeks. One capsule contains a potent formula of reduced glutathione and an imported new antioxidant called Algatrium. 

These are the benefits you can get from taking Met Tathione on a daily basis:
  • MET helps strengthen the immune system, removes toxins from the liver, boosts sexual potency, and protects the body from free radical damage.
  • Reduced glutathione is the main ingredient in Met Tathione products. It is the safe and most potent form of glutathione that we need in our bodies.
  • Glutathione is often referred to as the master antioxidant. It has many benefits that prevent oxidative stress in cells. 
  • The Met glow is not just from the skin but also from the overall benefit of glutathione throughout the body. 
  • Glutathione (Met Tathione) keeps the body healthy. Can prevent cancer, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis in the long run. This product can help lessen the impact of age-related degenerative disease in the body.
  • White glowing skin from inside and out!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
After 1 month of taking Met Tathione, my skin is visibly glowing even though I only have 3-4 hours of sleep. The photo below was taken around 5 p.m. The lighting wasn't able to show how fair my skin is but there's a pinkish glow in my arms. NO FILTER!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement

What I like: 
  • Met Tathione glutathione is FDA approved. 
  • The packaging is so classy. I like that it is repackaged in a minimalist design. The design of the box and bottle packaging exudes what high-quality Japan-made products look like. The box is sealed with plastic and the bottle opening is well-sealed also. 
  • The new Met Tathione is also available in two-capsule sachets. Great for trips. No need to worry about the extra bottle in your baggage.
  • The new Met Tathione is in liquid soft gel capsule form- this kind of capsule is easily absorbed by the body, unlike the regular capsule.
  • This liquid soft gel capsule doesn't have a funky or weird smell. 
  • The new Met Tathione is now combined with Algatrium, a component that can triple the glutathione production in the body. It is one of the most potent boosters available in the market today. Algatrium is a patented antioxidant found only in Met, first in the country making Met three times more effective!
  • I did not complain of discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever while taking this supplement.
  • No need to take a separate Vitamin C to boost the glutathione. Algatrium is more potent and will make absorption faster. So if you're acidic, this glutathione brand is for you. No need to worry about Vitamin C and the absorption of glutathione in your body.
  • Met Tathione glutathione made my skin glow. There are times that I only have 2-3 hours of sleep at night but 
  • This brand made me feel sleepy which is good for me because I have a hard time falling asleep at night. 
  • I always wake up feeling refreshed and energized. 
  • My skin looks luminous, especially in daylight. 
  • Made my skin less oily. 
  • Made my skin supple and plump. 
  • It lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month. 
  • No weight gain, bloating, or unruly cravings. I also look after what I eat so I guess the worry of gaining weight depends on the individual. I also exercise before I sleep.
  • I have a small scratch on my knee became a scar. Taking Met Tathione plus applying my favorite whitening lotion lightened the scar a bit but I can say taking the glutathione made the skin renewal faster than usual. Since I have fair skin, the scar is noticeable but after taking Met Tathione, the dark scar became less visible.
  • Batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed on the package. 
  • Easily accessible.

What I don't like:
  • The price is steep for budget-conscious individuals and those with a tight budget. 

Will I purchase? Yes! 

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I'm happy with the results that I've experienced with Met Tathione after taking it for a full month. I take the capsules in two divided doses because according to Dra. Cecille, absorption of glutathione is better in divided doses than popping it all at once. No need to take Vitamin C because Algatrium will boost the absorption of glutathione in the body faster. Fewer pills to pop because of that too. 

     This post is getting lengthy already and I have more things to share. Comment all your questions and I'll base my answers according to what Dra. Cecille explained to us :) I'm relieved that there will be professional advice or backup for those who want to take glutathione but are afraid of ingesting food supplements/medicine inside their body. 

Good Times!~

Product Review: Gluta Advance White and Firm Soap

Sunday, January 11, 2015

     Hi dearies! Here's another review of whitening soap that I'm sure whitening skin care fanatics will be interested to try. There are so many whitening soaps in the market today. Different combinations and formulations so I presume many are having a hard time choosing what brand to buy. Aside from whitening and anti-aging combo, whitening and slimming/firming is making a name in the limelight of Filipina skin care essentials.

     Gluta Advance White and Firm is the brand behind the whitening and firming combination in their skin care products. This combination is present in their soap, facial wash, facial toner, facial cream, and lotion. Today, I'll be reviewing their Gluta Advance White and Firm Soap.

Product Review: Tatiomax Glutathione Capsule

Friday, November 07, 2014

     Hi dearies! Before I start this review, I want to let you know that I already have fair skin, to begin with. I thought that my skin tone will be like this fair forever. Yes, whitening soaps and lotions help me maintain my skin tone and effective ones lighten and whiten dark spots, blemishes, and insects bites on my body. Effective whitening products also made my skin glowing, smooth, and supple. There are times that topical whitening products don't deliver what they promise not because they're not effective but because it is my skin that has reached its plateau in terms of skin whitening.

     So when Ageless Beauty Potions sent me 2 bottles of Tatiomax Glutathione Liquid Softgel Capsule, I didn't hesitate to try it because I want to see if there are the "ipuputi pa" (lighter) results for my fair skin. I also want to give you other option/choice especially if you think that the oral whitening supplement you're taking no longer give you positive results. I'm also intrigued because this is a liquid soft gel capsule meaning once ingested, the liquid glutathione will be absorbed easily and faster in the intestine giving faster whitening results. To know more about the product and see a little comparison of my skin tone three months ago and now, click CONTINUE READING and smile!
