I'm a little puzzled about how to take Limcee, the vitamin C chewable my dermatologist suggested. Should I be chewing it or is it better if I suck on it? What's the best way to actually get the most benefit from it?

For Limcee, a vitamin C chewable tablet, chewing it is recommended over sucking, as chewing helps to break down the tablet and release the vitamin C, allowing for better absorption in the digestive system, whereas sucking may lead to swallowing the tablet whole, potentially reducing its effectiveness.

I'm dealing with hair loss and a bit of baldness, and I read somewhere that glutathione might help. Can you tell me if it's effective for this issue? Just want to know if it's worth trying out.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. While there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that glutathione may have benefits for hair health, there is limited scientific research to support its effectiveness specifically for hair loss and baldness. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing hair loss and baldness.
