Glutathione facts - produced naturally in our cells

Glutathione is a substance naturally produced by the human body through the synthesis of certain amino acids in the liver. It's also used by virtually every cell of the body to neutralize toxins. Since glutathione is composed of three amino acids, namely gamma-glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, it is classified as a tripeptide.

The majority of glutathione found in the cells and tissue of the body is in the GHS state (or reduced electron). However, as electron donation continues, GHS molecules also become unstable due to unpaired electrons and eventually bind to a fellow molecule to create an oxidized form of glutathione, or glutathione disulfide (GSSG). Of total glutathione concentration in the body, only 10 percent resides as GSSG.

The primary function of glutathione is to provide antioxidant activity. This action helps to deter oxidative stress and cellular damage from free radicals. In fact, glutathione is essential to protect the eyes, skin, kidneys, liver and many other organs from toxic byproducts produced by the body through normal metabolism. In the liver, glutathione aids in the detoxification and removal of harmful toxins, including those generated through environmental pollution, and the consumption of alcohol and drugs.

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 radical damage. The odds are overwhelmingly against us.


The Bad News

While several studies have demonstrated the beneficial properties of glutathione, evidence that oral supplementation has any therapeutic value is less promising. For one thing, glutathione is not well absorbed in supplement form. For another, studies have shown that a supplemental dose of glutathione does not necessarily increase levels of circulating glutathione, even if taken intravenously.

Dr. Robert Keller, a clinical physician, researcher and immunologist, provided the keys to unleash the power of glutathione. Dr. Keller worked with a wide variety of patients, all of
whom suffered from problems for which there was no medical solution. As he performed diagnostic tests he discovered two things:
1) virtually all of his patients had low levels of antioxidants, and
2) they had high levels of uric acid.

Uric acid, he discovered, is the “‘last line of defense’ when all other antioxidants had been expended.” While glutathione is the first and best line of defense in the antioxidant hierarchy, uric acid is the last and the least efficient. In other words, Dr. Keller’s patients had high levels of uric acid because their other, better antioxidants were depleted.

This realization set Dr. Keller on a search to find the best antioxidant, which led him to glutathione.

The Delivery & Measurement Challenges

After exploring the glutathione research, Dr. Keller hit a roadblock. He discovered that scientists had been unable to deliver glutathione into the body, for the reasons previously stated. In addition, Dr. Keller realized that scientists had no way of measuring glutathione levels in patients. Understanding that glutathione was the key to improving the health, vitality, and longevity of his patients, Dr. Keller set out to overcome these hurdles.

 
MaxGXL® is Born

  First, Dr. Keller developed a proprietary blood test to successfully measure glutathione levels in real time. Next, he took his problem to the research lab. After ten years and eighteen attempts, he and his team produced a formula that improved glutathione production at the cellular level. Max International now has a patent pending for the MaxGXL® formula, which gives the body the necessary building blocks to manufacture glutathione.

This formula was a monumental breakthrough in modern science because it overcame two previous limitations:
1. It assisted the substance to pass through the digestive process.
2. It allowed ingredients to pass through cell membranes, where they can combine to form glutathione.

This means that MaxGXL® can actually be absorbed and utilized by cells. Feeding your cells MaxGXL® is like discovering health “diamonds” inside your body. And the regenerative effect of MaxGXL® means that your body can continue producing the wealth of health for years to come

Will the Real Antioxidant Please Stand Up?

Science is discovering that many excellent antioxidants, such as Vitamins C and E, only handle a fraction of our antioxidant needs. While they may provide some antioxidative benefits, they primarily work by protecting glutathione from having to be used in other reactions outside of the cell and allowing glutathione to be more prevalent inside of the cell.

While these other substances may be good for the body, we call them “one-hit wonders.” Once their antioxidative effect is used by the body, they become weak free radicals. Thus, their scope and effect is limited, and can even be harmful in some instances.

In contrast, glutathione has a regenerative effect. According to Scott Nagasawa, Pharm.D., Executive Director of Product Development and former Chief Technical Officer of CellGevity, “Glutathione can actually neutralize many different types of free radicals. When it neutralizes a free radical, glutathione itself never becomes a free radical. Whereas Vitamin C and Vitamin E, when they neutralize a free radical, they actually become a weak free radical themselves. Glutathione is one of the only antioxidants that can recycle itself.”

MaxGXL solves most of the problems currently found in the antioxidant industry by supporting the real deal— glutathione.

“The more I looked into glutathione and understood what it could do for the body, the more excited I got. Understanding the science behind it was powerful, but what really sold me on MaxGXL was when I saw what it could do for my patients. I praise Dr. Keller for developing a one-of-a-kind…product that has actually been shown to produce glutathione in the body. There may be other glutathione products out there, but nothing with the state-of-the-art science of MaxGXL.”

Where Have You Been all My Life?

Like many people, you’re probably wondering why you’re just learning about glutathione if it is this important. The reason is simple: Although scientists have long understood the power of glutathione, they have been unable to develop a product that the body can use. This is because, when taken orally, it is quickly broken down in your digestive tract and eliminated before it can be absorbed by cells. It was like discovering diamonds but being unable to reach them. All this changed with MaxGXL®, which has solved the problem with a patent-pending process that delivers the building blocks of glutathione to your cell.

“It is well documented that glutathione sold as a dietary supplement is mostly destroyed through digestion and therefore is of little use.” – Patricia A.L. Kongshavn, Ph.D., Former Professor Department of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, Canada

Imagine a dam being built that you’ve never seen before. The higher the dam rises, the more water and pressure builds behind it. The water will remain in place until something occurs to release it. Glutathione is similar. The “pressure” has been building with more than 89,000 independent research studies proving the power and benefits of glutathione. By overcoming the delivery challenge, MaxGXL has released the floodgates by making this knowledge relevant to the average consumer.

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.”
