Background of Glutathione and Max supplements:

"The most Powerful Antioxidant You have Never Heard Of......It's one of the KEYS to fighting off the Diseases You Fear the Most. It's called Glutathione. Now write that down because it is critically important"  - Dr. Mehmet Oz

Glutathione (GSH) is your body's master antioxidant, produced naturally inside every cell in your body when the required building blocks are available. Although most people have never heard of Glutathione, it is well known to Medical scientists and Biochemists. In fact there are over 100,000 scientific studies on Glutathione recorded on PubMed, compared to 40,000 studies done on Vitamin C. Throughout the past two decades there have been numerous studies on Glutathione and its relevance to health and longevity. 

The cells in your intestinal tract use glutathione to eliminate the chemical preservatives, pesticides and countless other toxins you ingest before they are transported throughout your body. The liver cells use glutathione as their detergent to detoxify your blood. Your eye and skin cells use glutathione to protect themselves against radiation. Unfortunately the constant daily attacks on your cells from toxins, free radicals,stress, radiation and heavy metals can lower your Glutathione. 

​This results in damage to our cells and loss of their optimal function, which is part of the aging process. Glutathione helps your body defend against oxidative stress, which has been associated with more than 74 major diseases and disorders. Simply put, without glutathione, oxygen-based life on earth would be impossible. 

THE PROBLEM! Our Glutathione levels are decreasing, but the attacks on our cells are not! 

Our glutathione levels peak at age 20 and then steadily decline 10-15% every decade. This is an inevitable part of aging which is accelerated by stress, poor diet, toxins, free radicals, UV radiation, cell phone radiation, sleep deprivation, alcohol and smoking. The continued exposure to toxins, free radicals, radiation, and heavy metals can lower our levels of glutathione. This continued exposure causes accumulated damage to the cells and makes them lose their optimum function. As the cells are damaged, the aging process and all of its issues accelerate. Energy levels fall, inflammation levels increase and all of the cells, tissues and organs pay the price. On top of this, injuries, infections and diseases further deplete glutathione levels. 

"If you're chronically run down; if you're chronically fatigued; if your body just isn't firing on all cylinders, low glutathione may be part if it, both cause and effect."   - Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center.

Glutathione  -  Your  body's  master  antioxidant!

Glutathione is considered the master antioxidant due to its unique multi functional characteristics as well as it's unprecedented ability to neutralize many types of free radicals that assault the cell. It is the only antioxidant that recycles itself again and again to continue fighting free radicals. Here are 9 facts about Glutathione 

1. It is the Primary Detoxifier of the Cell 
Today we are confronted by over 80,000 chemicals in the air we breathe, the food and water we ingest, and the materials we touch and handle. Many of these toxic chemicals enter our cells and must be eliminated to protect the cell and maintain optimum function. Glutathione is the cell's first line of defense against chemicals and toxins and the primary detoxifier that can eliminate many of these toxins when it is present in optimal amounts. 

2. It is a Powerful Chelator of Heavy Metals 
Heavy metals enter our cells in the same manner as chemical toxins. Fortunately, they can be removed from the cell by a process of chelation, and Glutathione is one of the cell's most powerful chelating agents. 

3. Is the Protector of the Immune Cell 
Our immune cells are designed to protect us, but what protects the immune cell? Glutathione is the protector of the immune cell and allows newly formed immune cells to proliferate to attack germs and viruses. 

4. Is the Protector of Mitochondrial DNA 
The breakdown of the mitochondrial DNA accelerates aging and increases cell death. Glutathione is the protector of the Mitochondrial DNA, and the lower the glutathione level, the more vulnerable this DNA becomes to breakage. 

5. Is the Protector of the Nucleus of the Cell 
The nucleus of the cell regulates all cell activity and protecting it is critical to the health of the cell and its optimal function. When present in abundance, glutathione gives the nucleus the protection it needs. 

6. Reduces Oxidative Stress 
Oxidative Stress is the most aggressive destructive force that assaults the cell. Cells manufacture a number of antioxidants to counter oxidative stress. Glutathione plays a primary role in neutralizing many different types of free radicals. 

7. Reduces Intercellular Inflammation 
Inflammation is the mortal enemy to the tissues, organs and various systems of the body. All inflammation begins at a cellular level, and low glutathione levels are associated with inflammation. 

8. Is the Re-Utlizing Agent of Ingested Antioxidants 
Antioxidants that are ingested (not manufactured by the body such as vitamin C and E) once spent, cannot be re-utilized by the cell unless they are first converted into a usable state. Glutathione is the agent that converts those antioxidants into a state that can be utilized by the cell. 

9. Reducing Agent for Hemoglobin, Allowing it to Transport Oxygen to Every Cell. 
The purpose of hemoglobin is to carry oxygen to all living cells. However, when it is oxidized, it cannot carry an oxygen molecule and must first be reduced to an acceptable state. Glutathione protects hemoglobin from oxidizing agents and can also make this possible. 

The history of Glutathione enhancement

The scientific community has been aware of Glutathione's existence since the late 1880's and it wasn't until the 1970's that medical minds began to realize its detoxification capabilities and its vital role in the optimum operation of the human body.

For years researchers have been diligently working on ways to deliver Glutathione back into the body. Unfortunately Glutathione cannot be taken as a supplement in its molecular form because it is destroyed during the digestive process. Glutathione, when taken orally, is immediately broken down into its constituent amino acids, of which cysteine is the only one to be essential and is too large to pass through the cell wall where it can be utilized. Intravenous applications have had wondrous affects in a variety of extreme cases, but the effects are short lived and become increasingly less effective with each treatment.

The world’s need for a Glutathione enhancer has gone unmet.

This has now changed. World-renowned Medical doctor and researcher Dr. Robert Keller has made devoted much of his career to astounding advancements in Glutathione science and has created a unique precursor formula that provides your body with the exact building blocks it needs to restore Glutathione back to optimal levels.  These smaller substances can pass through the cell wall and reform as Glutathione inside the cell right where it is needed. For years, Dr. Keller worked closely with Max International providing critical oversight and direction to refine and improve upon his original formula.

Committed to developing real health breakthroughs based on scientific research, Max International leads the wellness and nutritional industry in delivering quality proprietary Glutathione accelerator products. In this endeavor, Max International has incorporated the efforts of world renowned medicinal chemist Dr. Herbert Nagasawa and other experts to further develop groundbreaking advances in Glutathione enhancing products. 

Dr. Herbert Nagasawa has dedicated 25 years of his life researching and developing a way to increase glutathione naturally. He created Riboceine a major nutritional breakthrough, which is now helping people all over the world live and age healthily by increasing their glutathione production to optimal levels! 

Since partnering with Max International, Dr. Keller and Dr. Nagasawa were instrumental in producing a linage of Glutathione enhancing products that have been consistently improving the benefits and results of Max supplements with each new formula. Beginning with the original product MaxGXL™ and then following with the more advanced Riboceine based formulas MaxOne™, Cellgevity™, Meta-Switch™ and Max-ATP™.
