here is an article by Dave that I found interesting

I am often asked about oral and IV solutions to lighten the skin

the bottom line is that we don't have enough information to know the true safety profile

I would stay away from these treatments until we truly know.

Glutathione injections have been out in the cosmetic market for quite sometime now. Interestingly, the demands are in an all-time high despite of its costly value.”If you crave for a not-just-white-but-glowing skin, then go grab these injections and you’ll never regret”- this is one of the promises of Glutathione…But the question is, can it also promise us safety?

A few days back, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Glutathione injections were not safe for the sole purpose of skin whitening. Additionally, FDA Director Suzette Lazo emphasized that the use of Glutathione was never approved as a skin whitener.

A huge number of Filipinos are using Glutathione injections as one of their beauty secrets. I even personally know some people who use the drug and never did I encounter a single complaint from any of them.  And by the way, they were using the authentic ones…

So what really is the issue? Well, i can spot two…It’s either you get a genuine glutathione injection and enjoy its benefits or be fooled and take the fake ones then end up getting all the fatal effects…

Anyhow, the bottom line is  “It’s always better to be safe than sorry”.So think twice! Here are some of the mentioned side effects and complications of Glutathione injections
