Met Tathione Review – Does It Work?
In addition to face creams and spot treatments, there’s another way to lighten and even the tone of your skin. Met Tathione is a pill used by many women in Asia as part of their skin whitening and brightening regimen, but is it safe and effective?
In 2004, the White Beauty Corporation was formed through the cooperation of a skin specialist and an entrepreneur. Their flagship product is Met Tathione, and it is the number one Glutathione supplement on the market.
Met Tathione Ingredients and How They Work
Met Tathione is a Glutathione supplement. The official reason for taking a Glutathione supplement is for liver and blood detoxification.
It is an antioxidant, and it helps protect cells against damage caused during cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.
But the beauty industry benefits from one of Glutathione’s side effects. It lightens skin by reducing the amount of melanin that gets produced.
The recommended dose is based on your weight. You should take Met Tathione 3 times per day, but the number of capsules you take each time depends on how much you weigh. The average person will take 1 capsule 3 times per day.
How long it takes to see visible results also varies. The average is about 2 to 3 months, but this varies based on your size and starting skin color as well.
You might also consider taking a Vitamin C supplement as this is known to speed up the whitening process.
Met Tathione is made in Japan and considered to be a food supplement. It is not regulated as a drug, but its manufacture does conform to the Japanese food supplement standards.
Met Tathione Pros and Cons
One of the surest ways to make a wise decision about whether or not to purchase a product is to compare the good and bad points as you see them.
Advantages of Met Tathione
- It is a healthy antioxidant supplement
- It may supplement your whitening/brightening routine
Disadvantages of Met Tathione
- It is expensive
- There have been no clinical studies to prove its effectiveness
- While the commercials show several testimonials, every independent Met Tathione review we found indicated that it does not work
- Even the bottle states in large print: “No Approved Therapeutic Claims”
Where to Buy
In the US, you can find Met Tathione online through a few different sources, like eBay and Amazon. The price for a bottle varies from about $85 to $110 – very pricey!
Conclusion
Skin lightening is big business all over the world. For so many women who believe they would be more beautiful if only their skin were lighter, the notion that they can achieve this goal with a simple pill is very powerful.
Unfortunately, this seems not to be the case. With no scientific or even reliable anecdotal evidence (and being hugely overpriced to boot), we have to recommend that you pass on Met Tathione, and look for a proven topical lightening solution instead.

Met .can lose fats ?
Rachel Vrabel
Kimberly, not so sure of your question. Are you asking if taking Met can help you lose fat? I doubt it, it’s just an antioxidant that helps lighten the skin… Check out my review Pruvit’s Keto OS or Lean Bean Fat Burner for fat loss! Thank you, Rachel
Amalia P. Abdulmalik
If I stop drinking this medicine will my darker skin back? or I’ll remain with this whiter one?
Rachel Vrabel
Amalia, no results would be kept forever, sun can darken the skin again… just keep up a skin lightening routine and avoid the sun, that’s your best bet to keep your results. I have not tried Met Tathione, I prefer using topical treatments. Rachel

Heyz
Can i take met 2 times a day? I mean day and night?
Rachel Vrabel
Heyz, I’m really not sure as I am not affiliated with this product. I would just go by the instructions on the label and not take more than recommended. Rachel
Belle

Caroline
Can i take it with metathione while taking a contraceptive pills and multi vitamin supplements
Rachel Vrabel
Caroline, I’m not sure. I actually don’t give a recommendation to Met Tathione, I prefer a topical lightening treatment and my recommended product is Illuminatural 6i. Taking pills to lighten the skin freaks me out, actually. 🙂 Rachel
maria
Is methathione can cause pimples?
Rachel Vrabel
Maria, I wouldn’t think that Methathione would contribute to pimples since it’s an antioxidant. But everyone’s skin reacts differently. Personally I would use a topical cream like Illuminatural over taking a pill. Rachel
Jen
Im taking met for almost 2 weeks and im taking my contraceptive pills., is it ok??
Rachel Vrabel
Jen, you should check with your Dr. on this. I wouldn’t think it would make a difference, however. Rachel
Luddie
Yes I’m using met thaiton and its lightening my skin but not my melasma on my face..
Amber
Hi. I just started taking Met Tathione capsules. Today is my second week so there isn’t much changes happening, but my skin is starting to glow and lighten so I guess I should expect few good results in the next few weeks. What bothers me is I’m kind of planning to try detox while taking Met the same time coz I badly need to lose weight. I heard about the “Apple Cider Vinegar” detox and wanted to try it. Is it okay? I mean detox and taking Met? Please enlighten me. Thank you.
Rachel Vrabel
Hi Amber, I couldn’t find a ton of research on Met Tathione. But it appears this is just an antioxidant so I don’t think it will hinder your detox. Although if you’re detoxing with apple cider it may just flush it out of your system sooner than if you weren’t detoxing. On the flip side, detoxing will also help your skin. Are you just going to supplement with Apple cider? I.e. Taking a few spoonfuls per day or are you following something else? Best way to detox is to eat a clean, organic diet with a ton of fruits and veggies, and healthy sources of lean protein like organic chicken and wild salmon. Adding some apple cider will certainly help. Good luck. Rachel~WomensBlogTalk.com

Thanks about this review, Teresa. I have to agree to what you’ve said. I’ve been using MET TATHIONE for 6 months now and I have NOT seen any significant sign of improvement. I’ve been taking 4 capsules a day and really, it does NOT work. I’ve decided now to stop spending my money on this (especially, since it’s very expensive). I would have still continued with taking these pills if only I saw even at slight change in my skin-tone (even by just one shade), but unfortunately, I did not see any. I’m a fair-skinned toned person, I’m just taking these to primarily even out my skin tone (because those which are exposed to the sun often are really darker in shade). This product is a waste of money (if you’re goal is skin-whitening).
