Fake Glutathione Brands: Buyers BEWARE!

United Shelter Health Products, makers of Lucida-DS Glutathione and Vaniderm whitening supplements is threatening to file a libel suit against ABS-CBN’s Chief Correspondent, Korina Sanchez.

This is in connection to Korina’s report that 7 out of 9 whitening products in the market failed the independent test done by the Philippine Institute of Applied Chemistry (or PIPAC) in terms of actual glutathione content. Lucida and Vaniderm were two of the products identified in Korina’s report, which failed the test.

Other Glutathione Brands that failed the test are:

White L-Glutathione

Active White Plus L-Glutathione

Gluta White and Firm

Cosmo Skin

Kyusoku Bihaku

Buyers should also beware of Glutathione Brands with NO BFAD CERTIFICATES. They are as follows:

NON-BFAD APPROVED BRANDS

DR. JAMES 60caps/30caps
SILK and DOVE 60caps
MEGATHIONE 60caps
VITAMIN WORLD 60caps
NATUFORM L-GLUTATHIONE 60caps
CLAIRE’ BLANCHE 60caps/30caps
SNOW PRINCESS 60caps
BEST NUTRITION 60caps
VITAMINS USA 60caps
ISHIGAKI 60caps
ISHIGAKI 30caps
ISHIGAKI + 30 caps

You might ask how we got a hold of these details. Well, actually, there are sellers online who specifically state that these products are not BFAD APPROVED! The apparent implication is that the sellers’ supposed liabilities and responsibilities for their products and customers are transferred to the latter. Therefore, customers can no longer accuse these sellers of ripping them off in case they experience any negative effects. Because after all, they have been duly warned!

Another thing… there are also glutathione suppliers who say that their products are imported from the U.S. or some other foreign country. This is a good marketing ploy because once people see the “Made in the U.S.A” or any mention of a foreign maker, they instantly think “HIGH QUALITY and BETTER than locally-made products.”

Try googling for the principal manufacturer’s or direct supplier’s website of Dr. Mayer, Dr. James glutathione and other brand names containing the “U.S.” mark and you will surely end up with only several Philippine websites, classified ads and forums because that’s only where you can research those whitening pills…not from the makers themselves!

So buyers beware of sellers who do not have any knowledge about their products’ actual manufacturers because in case something happens to you or your skin or your health, those sellers will just scamper away and you will be left with irreversible damages that you must deal with…on your own!

Don’t risk your health. Research the product first before buying it. Consult your doctor. Then that’s the only time that you can make a well-informed decision.
