Cannot be deny that nowadays the advancement of the technologies have accomplished many impossible matters around the world. The discovery of skin whitening pills was launched on 7 August 1961 by a group of specialized clinical researchers headed by a leading figure in the dermatology research field in Japan. Therefore, for many of the ladies, the dreams of having a brighten skin is not a dream anymore!

The function of the whitening pill is that it reverses the dark melanin pigments turning to a light pigments and inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the production of melanin, thus turning skin into a lighter tone. Almost all the whitening pills around the world products contain the ingredient of glutathione (GSH), alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), Grape seed Extract, and L-Glutathione.

The another ingredient which present in the skin whitening pills is Alpha-Lipoic Acid which also named as lipoic acid or thioctic acid, is a sulfur-containing fatty acid that available inside every cell of the human body. Alpha-Lipoid Acid is an organosulfur compound origin from octanoic acid. LA contains two vicinal sulfur atoms (at C6 and C8) attached through a disulfide bond and is thus considered to be oxidized.

The important role of alpha-lipoic acid is to produce the needs of energy for the living organisms keep on function and alive. It is also act a powerful antioxidant that neutralized the unstable molecules which is the free radical. It also helps to maintain the skin healthy and younger. However the overdose of taking this chemical which is over 100mg daily can cause nausea and upset stomachs and the further doses of it will lead to low blood sugar.

Vitamin C is an effective water soluble vitamin and antioxidant that act as the important role in this product as it will maintain Glutathione in its absorbable or usable and reduced (L-Glutathione) form. Vitamin C also known as ascorbate and ascorbic acid which is the reduced form of Vitamin C, but is also act as an antioxidant that works well with E, and provide the co-factors to enable GSH to work. The side effects of over dosages can cause to diarrhea and cramps. Vitamin C helps to brighten the skin effectively but it is seldom used in the formulation of the cosmetic because its concentration is much higher while used in the test.
