The Beauty Power of the Pill

With the introduction of a new oral contraceptive pill from the TRUST Family Program that is more affordable but as effective as the leading brand, achieving clear smooth skin for a more beautiful you is now within reach.

The formulation of this new pill is proven to help treat and prevent skin problems such as face, chest, and back acne. This pill contains anti-androgen hormones that help control the skin’s oil production, which usually peaks just before menstruation.

Apart from the beauty benefits, the pill also offers other non-contraceptive benefits. This formulation regulates the menstrual cycle while reducing premenstrual tension and gives relief from pain and excessive bleeding during menstruation. Certain contraceptive pills are also credited with the decrease in ovarian cancer risk.

GLUTATHIONE (GSH)—one of the most powerful, versatile and important antioxidants produced by the body itself—has been recognized and appreciated because of the many healthful and protective properties that it contains. However, not all glutathione supplements are created equal. The glutathione that supplements must contain should be labeled "reduced" as "unreduced" glutathione isn’t metabolically active.

Glutathione supplements should contain essential cofactors like vitamin C and alpha lipoic acid of which are essential for regenerating Reduced Glutathione. These are found in the new improved Met Tathione food supplement. Previously available in bottles containing 30 capsules, Met Tathione now comes in 60 capsule bottles with a lower dosage of 250 milligrams (from the previous 500 milligrams).

Manufactured under the strictest rules and regulations in Japan, the new Met Tathione is now available at all Watsons, Mercury Drug, Rose Pharmacy outlets, or through the MedExpress for worldwide delivery.
