Don’t Be a Victim of Age & Free Radicals

At 68 years old, Shirley felt her age in her bones and
muscles. “I wasn’t very good company,” she reported. “I felt old, much older than my age. I couldn’t walk up stairs or hills. Just standing after sitting for a while would give me excruciating pain.”

An outdoor enthusiast, Carvel began running marathons at age 47, running at least one per year for ten consecutive years. Then, he became sick, stopped exercising and gained 75 pounds. “For several years I was not living life,” Carvel lamented, “I was merely surviving from one day to the next.”

At age 44, Serge was plagued with fatigue and headaches. Judy and her husband struggled with physical and mental lethargy. They both felt like they had a “fog” inhibiting their thinking. Charlene, the mother of two school-aged, pecial-needs children, was unable to sleep through the night.

All of these people had something in common: As they aged, they suffered from declining health. Sound familiar?


In many cases, one of the first and most obvious symptoms of declining health is decreased energy. Low energy levels correspond directly with low levels of ATP production.

ATP is the energy produced within your cells, which is created from the nutrients we take into our body through food and supplements. The more ATP your cells produce, the better they function. But just as an engine produces exhaust,

ATP also produces a byproduct—oxidants—through a series of chemical reactions. This process, called oxidation, is literally a form of burning inside your body. Free radicals are the byproduct of oxidation.

Excess free radicals can be extremely damaging to the body. Free radicals attack your cells, inhibiting their function and damaging their membranes—so much so that your immune system can be impaired and DNA damaged



What is the Solution?

Our bodies produce antioxidants, which are designed to neutralize free radicals, thus in part protecting ATP production. Unfortunately, these antioxidants become depleted over time and with abuse.

Glutathione is no different. As we age, glutathione levels are depleted due to sleep deficits, poor nutrition and eating habits, lack of exercise, environmental pollutants and toxins, exposure to the sun, physical and emotional stress, illnesses, alcohol, tobacco and other harmful substances and habits.

Everywhere we turn we are exposed to destructive substances and habits that cause free radicaldamage. The odds are overwhelmingly against us.

Most people don’t find out about this debilitating process until it’s too late. Those who are aware try to compensate with supplements, thinking that external substances are the answer. But most of these are like trying to fight a war with spitballs. They are inferior substitutes for the body’s best natural weapon: glutathione.



“My husband and I had been struggling with discomfort as well as physical and mental lethargy. After taking MaxGXL…it felt like a fog had lifted off of my brain. My husband felt the same effect and reported not experiencing the dip in energy that he usually experienced midmorning. Perhaps the most significant benefit is that he has not felt any discomfort in his back in over a year. Words cannot express how this has impacted our quality of life. I feel 20 years younger.”

As Scott Momii, Executive Director of Product Management and former CEO of CellGevity, a glutathione research firm acquired by Max International, says, “Glutathione is this wonderful compound that the body has naturally created to protect the cells and organs of the body. In today’s industrial society, the body, organs, and cells are constantly bombarded with free radicals, toxins that we ingest and breathe. [Glutathione] protects our cells and organs from this
damage.”
