Glutathione content of local whitening products revealed
A report by Korina Sanchez on TV Patrol revealed that the actual glutathione content of most of the local whitening products in the market is way less than the claimed content posted on its bottle.
The Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC) tested some of the major brands of whitening products for the actual glutathione content and revealed that only two brands contained the right amount as listed on its bottle. You can watch Korina’s report on YouTube. Glutathione is an antioxidant that protects cells from toxins such as free radicals and the side effect of taking this is whitening of the skin.

i was really doubtful about the whitening aspect but a colleague of mine told me the Met Tathione is the most effective brand out there. i guess Korina’s report just sufficed what he said. keep it up Korina!

i believe na hiyangan talaga ang glutathione..I’ve tried different gluta brands like met, lucida,cosmo skin even un mga non bfad approved like silk and dove, ishigaki…i can say n ang mas effective sa kin are cosmo skin and ishigaki..u can never tell talga which will be effective for you until you’ve tried it Ü

Hi I checked YouTube and the video’s been removed. Pwedeng pa-post nalang ng results ng PIPAC test? Thanks!

Yes. Tama, ang dami konang natry before pati iba sa mga nabalita nayan, pero sa beauoxi white lang talga ako hiyang. nirecommend cya sken ng tita ko sa states tapos yun ok cya talga sken. gumanda skin ko at naglighten talga hindi tulad sa iba na pinagamit ako ng matagal pero wala din naman effect.

i believe na bias ang report ni korena sanchez dahil paid ads ni met yong pinalabas sa tv patrol.im sure thretened na si met sa ibang brands like kb and lucida..ginawa ng met yong paninira sa ibang brands para buminta yong brand na met.wala na atang bumibili ng met sa sobrang mahal at di naman effective.according to reliable source na ang gluta white na mabibili lang sa mga derma at met ay iisa ang may ari..no wonder kung bakit met lang at gluta white ang pumasa.

Deleted na yung video report file sa YOUTUBE.
Anybody who’s got a copy?
Or are there any other sites?
I am using DR.JAMES. Mas effective yata yun. My friend have seen the difference na daw.. hehehhe…
Thanks….

I’m using KB for 4 months now so far dami naka notice na pumuti ako at tsaka nawala yung cough ko due to smoking.
Nagulat ako dun sa news …. syempre user ako ng kyusoku bihaku gluta+nac …
hinde kaya paid advertisement lang ng MET yun? Ask ko KB co. and yungs agot nila post nila sa site nila ilovekb.com

I think gluthawhite packaging says its actual content 100 mg. For goddness sake, it only cost 14 bucks.

Grabe ha tong issue na ito is all over the news, as if national issue ito. Dahil siguro kay Korina.

Hindi glutathione ang kailangan ninyong lahat.
Ang kulang niyo self-esteem. hehehehe

hayy nakuu im sure paid advertisement to noh! wala na kasi bumubili ng met, this is a desperate move done by the owner ng met, kakahiya! isa pa twice na inendorse ni korina ang met sa show nya na rated K last year noh! sobrang bayaran naman nya! hayy unprofessional, but anyways kawawa naman si lucida ds sobra sya nadikdik, nagtry na ko nito dati hindi naman ako nagkapimples pero hindi din naman ak pumuti, at ang beuty and glowness galore sa cosmo skin ko lang na meet! wala ng iba!
