Glutathione für Hyperpigmentation

C Evidenz Begrenzte Evidenz aus kleinen Studien, aber es gibt einige positive Signale.

Multiple small RCTs found oral glutathione (250-1,000 mg/day) may reduce melanin index through tyrosinase inhibition and melanin pathway modulation, primarily studied in Asian populations.
