Key Summary
- Yes, fake or unverified glutathione products can cause side effects.
- These products are often underdosed, contaminated, or made with unsafe fillers.
- Unlike legit supplements, fake glutathione is not FDA-registered and not tested for purity or correct dosage.
- Lack of testing increases risks to both skin and overall health.
- This is why many Filipinas choose trusted brands like Ishin Beauty that follow FDA registration and ISO and GMP manufacturing.
- Safe glow comes only from real, tested supplements — fake glutathione can do more harm than good.
🌸 Do Fake Products Really Cause Side Effects?
Many people think side effects come from glutathione itself.
In reality, most problems come from fake or poorly made products, not from glutathione.
Glutathione is something your body already produces every day.
When side effects happen, it is usually because the product is not real or not regulated.
Why Fake Products Are Risky
1. Unknown Ingredients
Fake products may contain:
01
Unsafe fillers
02
Artificial whitening agents
03
Heavy metals
04
Contaminated powders
Because these products are not FDA-registered, no one checks what is really inside.
2. Wrong Dosage
Many fake bottles claim:
500 mg or 1000 mg on the label
But only contain a fraction of that amount
Some even contain zero active glutathione.
Others overload the capsule with unstable synthetic powder that irritates the stomach.
3. Poor Manufacturing Conditions
Fake supplements are often made:
01
Without GMP facilities
02
Without microbial testing
03
Without batch tracking
This increases the risk of bacteria, mold, or chemical contamination.
🌿 Common Side Effects Linked to Fake Products
These reactions are commonly reported with fake or unverified glutathione:
•
Skin rashes or itching
•
Breakouts or irritation
•
Nausea or stomach pain
•
Headaches
•
Dizziness
•
Uneven or blotchy skin tone
These are not normal reactions to clean, properly dosed glutathione.
✨ Why Authentic Glutathione Is Different
Real glutathione supplements are:
•
FDA-registered
•
Accurately dosed
•
Made in GMP or ISO-certified facilities
•
Tested for purity and safety
Brands like Ishin Beauty use Japan-formulated glutathione and strict quality control. This is why most users experience glow without irritation.
📝 How to Avoid Fake Products
Always check for:
•
FDA FR number on the label
•
Complete ingredient list
•
Manufacturer address
•
Batch or lot number
•
Official store listings on Shopee, TikTok Shop, or Lazada
If the price is too good to be true, it usually is.

💼 The CEO Perspective

Glow should never cost you your health.
When we built Ishin, the goal was simple.
Make high-quality glutathione affordable, safe, and honest.
Before Ishin, many glutathione products cost over ₱1,000. So some sellers cut corners to sell cheap bottles. We chose a different path.
Affordable but high-quality glutathione, with FDA registration and Japan-standard manufacturing.
— Shirleen Bautista, CEO of Ishin Beauty
