buying whitening tablets and pills MAY casue side effects, i rather you stay away from them and try fruits and other foods to help lighten your skin.

yes it can
i am indian also, and yes it can
amla can, i have tested it on myself and it not only helps to glow the skin, but helps growth of hair and makes hair darker and thicker as well.
also try having a tablespoon of turmeric with water before you go to sleep, this is good for the skin and also prevents cancer
feel free to ask me, if you have any further questions pease

Well if you read my responses you can achieve lighter skin without waiting for a long time.
Glutathione pills are tricky and that they take about a year or so to work if you’re not doing it right. See glutathione needs a double dose of vitamin C or more and if you have thyroid problems or other immune diseases then glutathione will not work or atleast with the whitening effect. Vitamin C is quite good in lightening your skin but you have to take atleast 1000mg a day or more. Eating foods with vitamin C won’t work because they only contain a small percentage of it.
I’d say keep doing what youre doing but make sure you take mg of vitamin C and drink lots and lots of water since you are in the equator like me. Don’t stop drinkin water thats all I can say

You’re article on the ‘scam’ of oral Gluthatione is essential reading. The internet market now appears to be flooded with skin whitening pills in the form of gluthathione. My understanding is that there these pills do not raise gluthathione levels in the body and so CANNOT deliver on their promise to whiten the skin.
However, and this is important, there is an oral product that does raise these levels. Somebody correct me if I am wrong-but my undrstanding is that MAXGXL is a gluthatione accelerator. It is a patent pending product that contains glutamine, NAC, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C. Originally developed by a Dr to raise ‘G’ levls in cancer and HIV patients it is sold in the US. Again, it doesnt contain Gluthatione, but claims ( there appears to be a whole body of reserach around these claims) to raise the bodies own gluthatione levels

I’m guessing that for anyone wishing to naturally lighten their skin, this product taken with 1000-2000mg of vitamin C would ‘possibly’ be ideal.
