Shefali Jariwala death: Doctors warn skin lightening glutathione injections aren't without risk or ‘severe side effects'
Shefali Jariwala's death at 42 has raised concerns about the risks associated with skin-lightening glutathione injections. According to reports, Shefali Jariwala took glutathione injections as part of an anti-ageing treatment before her death on June 27. Shefali was known for her appearance in Bigg Boss 13 and the 2002 music video, Kaanta Laga. Also read | Cardiologist reveals if low blood pressure can trigger heart attack amid Shefali Jariwala's cause of death speculation Shefali Jariwala's death has raised concerns about the safety of glutathione injections, particularly when used for skin lightening and anti-aging purposes. (Instagram/ Shefali Jariwala) While the exact cause of her death is still under investigation, preliminary findings suggest Shefali's death might be linked to low blood pressure, cardiac arrest, and gastric issues, potentially triggered by an anti-ageing injection she took on an empty stomach, as per multiple reports. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Sai Lahari Rachumallu, associate consultant, dermatology, Manipal Hospital, Bhubaneshwar, and Dr Suchismitha Rajamanya, lead consultant and HoD, internal medicine, Aster Whitefield Hospital, Bengaluru, explain the potential risks of glutathione injections and how to prioritise your health and safety when considering any skincare treatment, especially those involving injections. What is glutathione and what are its benefits? Glutathione is an antioxidant used for skin whitening, detoxification, and improving skin texture. Dr Lahari Rachumallu said, 'Glutathione has become known for its skin-brightening properties and has been hailed as the 'master antioxidant' that is particularly beneficial in boosting immunity. Just about every form of GSH (glutathione) can be found to swallow, drink or inject, and it is all the rage for people who are pursuing glowing skin or purported detox benefits.' 'Glutathione has the potential to help cells from getting damaged. It also detoxes the liver and promotes healthy skin. Although it is naturally produced by the body, many people have resorted to oral supplements and taking it intravenously, which has raised legitimate health issues,' Dr Rajamanya added. What are the side effects of glutathione? Does the wonder molecule have downsides? 'Definitely — and understanding them is key,' according to Dr Lahari Rachumallu. She explained: 'The naturally-occurring antioxidant glutathione, which our bodies produce, works against oxidative stress. But in high doses, particularly via injections, it can have side effects. Some people say they experience abdominal cramps, bloating or allergic reactions such as rashes and itching. Occasionally, increased levels of glutathione can lead to a reduction in zinc, influencing the immune system and wound healing.' According to Dr Lahari Rachumallu, curiously, 'even though a lot of people swear by glutathione for fairness, there's still not enough scientific basis for the skin whitening claim': 'So, before jumping on the glutathione bandwagon, see a doctor — after all, even the 'master antioxidant' isn't without its faults.' Doctors say very little of the oral form of glutathione enters the system because it has relatively low bioavailability. -- this is why, particularly for cosmetic uses such as whitening of the skin, glutathione injections have become popular. (Freepik) Are glutathione injections safe? Dr Lahari Rachumallu said, 'Glutathione injections, much sought after for their skin-lightening promise, are not without risk. In addition to the pain associated with injecting, improper injection technique may also cause infection or inflammation of the vein. Long-term use without regulation has prompted concerns over strain on the kidneys and liver, particularly in those with existing conditions.' Dr Rajamanya added: 'Very little of the oral form of glutathione enters the system because it has relatively low bioavailability. This is why, particularly for cosmetic uses such as whitening of the skin, glutathione injections have become popular. But at this juncture, if not employed judiciously or under proper medical care, the risks begin to outweigh the benefits.' According to Dr Rajamanya, 'there are multiple severe side effects to glutathione injections'. 'Some of them are bloating, allergic reactions, cramping in the abdomen, and in rare instances, more serious problems like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. When it is used for a long period of time, it can cause kidney failure by causing renal toxicity or dysfunction, especially in uncontrolled dosage. Also, if the procedure is performed outside of approved clinics, then it can lead to infection and contamination at the injection site,' she said. 'As per long-term safety data, high doses of these injections for cosmetic purposes are not at all recommended. To make matters worse, many people use it along with high dosages of steroids or vitamin C to lighten their skin tone faster, but little do they know that this is even more dangerous for their health,' Dr Rajamanya added. Consult a doctor and ensure proper administration Dr Rajamanya said that while the health of our cells relies on glutathione, supplementation must be decided based on clinical need, 'not simply because the individual wants to be healthier or look better'. She added that 'a doctor can prescribe glutathione to a patient with oxidative stress, chronic fatigue syndrome, liver dysfunction, or immune dysfunction — but only with strict oversight'. 'It is crucial to increase awareness of the possible risks associated with injections in a nation like India where they are likely to be obtained without a prescription. Patients should be urged to consult qualified experts rather than just wellness influencers or rumours,' Dr Rajamanya said.

Podcaster claims the Hemoglobin A1C test to measure blood sugar levels can help detect cancer risk: ‘It's one of the most important…'; experts react
Is there a link between the Hemoglobin A1C blood test, which measures blood sugar levels, and the identification of cancer risk? Podcaster Bisma Lalji, who is battling stage 4 breast cancer, recently claimed that high blood sugar doesn't just impact diabetes risk, 'It also fuels inflammation, disrupts hormone balance, and creates an internal environment where cancer can grow and thrive.' In an Instagram post, she added that the A1C test, which measures your average blood sugar levels over the past ~3 months, is 'one of the most important, especially when it comes to cancer.' 'Cancer cells literally feed off glucose,' Lalji, who hosts The Other C Word podcast, continued. Sharing that glucose management is now a core part of her healing plan, she wrote: 'I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at 35, and since then, I've adopted the metabolic approach to cancer-focused on stabilising blood sugar, reducing insulin spikes, and supporting my mitochondria'. She also mentioned that she follows a Ketogenic diet, practices intermittent fasting, and regularly tracks her glucose, 'Not for weight loss—but to starve cancer, reduce inflammation, and protect my body. Whether you have cancer or not, your A1C matters. You should be getting it checked at least every 3 months if you're working on improving your metabolic health—or, at minimum, once a year as part of your annual labs. Don't assume your doctor is already checking it. You have to ask,' stressed Lalji. Before answering the question, let's understand the tests generally carried out to gauge cancer risk. Dr Neeraj Goel, director, oncology services, GI Oncology, GI & HPB Surgery at the CK Birla Hospital®, Delhi, said that it's essential to consider a combination of factors rather than relying on a single test. 'Cancer risk is influenced by personal medical history, such as previous cancer diagnoses or pre-existing conditions like ulcerative colitis, which may elevate the likelihood of certain cancers. Family medical history also plays a significant role—having a close relative with cancer can increase your risk, especially if inherited genetic mutations like BRCA1 or BRCA2 are involved, which are known to significantly raise the chances of breast, ovarian, and some other cancers,' said Dr Goel. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor diet (particularly one high in processed meats and saturated fats and low in fruits and vegetables), physical inactivity, and obesity are well-established contributors to increased cancer risk. 'In addition, environmental exposures—including ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ionising radiation, and certain chemical exposures—can also elevate the risk,' said Dr Goel. Dr Jyoti Anand, senior consultant in medical oncology at Fortis Hospital, Noida, added that several types of tests can help gauge an individual's risk of developing cancer. These include genetic tests, blood tests, and imaging scans. Genetic testing is a valuable tool for individuals with a strong family history of cancer. According to Dr Goel, it can identify inherited mutations that may predispose someone to specific types of cancer. 'Alongside this, genetic counselling is important to help individuals understand their results and make informed decisions about preventive measures,' said Dr Goel. Risk assessment tools exist, such as the Gail model for estimating breast cancer risk and other models that consider age, family history, and personal health factors to estimate the likelihood of developing different cancers. Regular screening and early detection are among the most effective approaches to managing cancer risk. 'Screening tests such as mammograms, colonoscopies, Pap smears, and low-dose CT scans for high-risk individuals can help detect cancer at an early, more treatable stage, significantly improving outcomes and survival rates,' said Dr Goel. Dr Jyoti said the type of test recommended depends on an individual's personal risk factors, family medical history, and the presence of any symptoms or clinical findings. 'A doctor will guide you on the appropriate tests based on a comprehensive risk assessment. ' So, is HbA1c a reliable test? Dr Goel clarified that HbA1c, a blood test commonly used to assess long-term blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes, is not a test to detect or indicate cancer. 'While some studies have suggested a potential link between high HbA1c levels and increased cancer risk, no direct or definitive association has been established. Therefore, it should not be used as a cancer risk assessment tool. More research is needed in this area to draw firm conclusions,' said Dr Goel. However, if there are warning signs, consulting doctors may order blood tests like tumor markers or a Complete Blood Count (CBC). Dr Prashant Chandra, oncosurgeon, TGH Oncolife Cancer Centre, Pune, said that these tests need to be interpreted by an expert oncologist as tumour markers may remain normal in cancer patients and may be elevated in normal individuals. A post shared by Bisma Lalji | The Other C Word Podcast (@bismalalji) 'So don't panic with any reports, stay vigilant regarding your health, and know your personal and family history. Doing so can guide you on which tests are right for you. Remember to take any test advised by the doctor without any delay. Stick to the guidelines given by the doctor when it comes to treatment,' said Dr Chandra. DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
