MET Tathione states that it was established in 2004 and was among the early brands to introduce premium glutathione supplements to the Philippine beauty and wellness market. Over the past two decades, the company has expanded its product line from oral supplements to topical skincare products while maintaining a focus on Japanese manufacturing. The brand describes itself as a pioneer in the glutathione skincare category in the Philippines. [2]

MET Tathione products are distributed in the Philippines by IVI RYO Corp. According to Philippine FDA records, the company’s glutathione supplements are registered as food supplements and do not carry approved therapeutic claims. [3]

According to the company:

• Products are formulated and manufactured in Japan.

• Manufacturing follows Japanese production standards.

• Every batch undergoes quality testing before export.

• Additional ingredient verification is conducted in the Philippines through the Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC). [4]

Recent Philippine FDA registration documents also identify the manufacturing facility as being located in Fuji City, Shizuoka, Japan. [5]

MET Tathione currently offers several beauty and wellness products, including:

Oral Supplements

• MET Tathione Capsule 60s

• Reduced glutathione food supplement

• Marketed for antioxidant support and skin radiance

• MET 500 Capsules

• Contains 500 mg reduced glutathione

• Includes Algatrium®, an ingredient the company says enhances glutathione utilization

Skincare

• Daily Glow Sunscreen

• Glutathione Body Soap

• Beauty Face Soap

The company’s product range combines ingestible supplements with topical skincare as part of a “glow from within” approach. [6]

The brand’s flagship supplements commonly feature:

• Reduced Glutathione

• Algatrium® (a DHA-containing ingredient)

• Additional supporting ingredients depending on the product formulation

MET Tathione states that Algatrium helps improve the effectiveness and utilization of glutathione, although independent clinical evidence specific to the brand’s formulation is limited. [7]

The company highlights several quality-control measures:

• Manufactured entirely in Japan

• Japanese regulatory quality standards

• Batch testing before export

• Additional ingredient verification by PIPAC

• FDA registration in the Philippines as food supplements [8]

MET Tathione products are available through:

• Major Philippine drugstores

• Watsons Philippines

• Mercury Drug

• Southstar Drug

• Official online store

• Lazada

• Shopee

• Amazon (selected markets) [9]

The company describes itself as:

• One of the earliest glutathione supplement brands in the Philippines

• A market leader in premium glutathione supplements

• A brand with more than one million bottles sold

These figures are company-reported and have not been independently verified. [10]

In the Philippines, MET Tathione products are registered with the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as food supplements. FDA registration specifies that these products are “registered as food supplements with no approved therapeutic claims.” This means they are not approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent diseases. [11]

MET Tathione positions itself around the concept of “Glow From Within,” emphasizing:

• Skin wellness

• Antioxidant support

• Premium Japanese manufacturing

• Long-term skincare rather than quick cosmetic changes

The company markets its products as part of an overall beauty and wellness routine rather than as medicines. [12]

MET Tathione has developed a strong presence in the Philippine beauty supplement market. Online user discussions report varied experiences: some users describe improvements in skin brightness or overall glow after continued use, while others report little visible change or occasional side effects such as breakouts. As with many dietary supplements, individual responses appear to vary, and anecdotal reports should not be interpreted as clinical evidence. [13]
