Glutathione: The Master Antioxidant

Most of us would say, "Gluta-what?" That's because glutathione has not been too popular in the mainstream supplement world because the only good way to get it to your bloodstream was through an IV or injection. And since most people aren't excited about visiting the doctor once or twice a week (if you can get your doctor to administer it), it just fell by the wayside in terms of popular antioxidants.

But that's not the case anymore. We have the technology…without injections!

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is commonly called your body's "master antioxidant." Why? That would be because you cannot get it straight from your food. It's actually produced by your body. As a matter of fact, every cell in your body produces glutathione, from the hair cells in the top of your head, right down to the cells in your toenails, and everywhere in between. That's including your liver, heart, intestines, spine, vertebrae…every cell produces it! But your body doesn't glean this important substance from your fruits and veggies. Instead, in an evolutionary miraculous fashion, it constructs it from a wide range of ingredients found in various foods.

So What's the Problem?

The problem is that, beginning in your 20's and 30's, your body's production of glutathione trails off by as much as 10% per decade. This is one of the main reasons for aging, degeneration, lack of energy, and the list goes on and on and on.

Thousands of papers and endless research has been presented on the amazing benefits of glutathione but, until recently, no one has found an acceptable method of ingesting it…just injecting it.

But until recently, when product formulators created glutathione as a supplement, it simply broke down in the stomach and almost none of it was absorbed into the bloodstream.

Effects of Lowered Glutathione

A volume could be written on what happens to a human body as glutathione levels decrease over time. Here are just a few symptoms:

• Decreased immunity to common illness
• Increased inflammation
• Improper processing of toxins
• Poor liver function
• Increased susceptibility to cancer
• Low mental acuity
• Difficulty concentrating
• Poor physical stamina
• Low energy
• Chronic pain

However, more and more research is showing that none of this is necessary! Increased glutathione levels has been shown to provide many benefits:

• Slowdown in aging process
• Increased liver function
• Decrease in chronic pain
• Stronger immune system
• Lower chance of cancer
• Increased energy
• Increased mental acuity
• Increased heart function
• Improved concentration

But Be Careful WHICH Glutathione

As mentioned, the vast majority of glutathione is a complete waste of money, as it's not getting to your cells. However, there is a new breed of glutathione precursors that are truly worth adding to your supplement cupboard.

MaxGXL is one of these. Developed by Dr. Robert Keller for Max International, MaxGXL is a combination of ingredients including Calcium Ascorbate, L-Glutamine, Milk Thistle, N-acetyl d-glucosamine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Quercitin, and Cordyceps. This stimulates your body to produce more glutathione thereby increasing the glutathione levels in your body.

Dr. Keller, a renowned MD and researcher has been named in the top 2000 most influential scientists of the 21st century. He also is regularly named on the list of America's Top Physicians as he was in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 in the fields of Internal Medicine, Immunology and Hematology.

He's one of the few product formulators who have succeeded in creating a product that consistently raises glutathione levels.

If You Could Take Only One Supplement, This Would Be the ONE!

Considering that glutathione affects every cell in your body, one would think that it would be at the top of the list for "must-have" supplements. And now that products like MaxGXL are becoming more well known, it won't be a surprise to see more and more of these products shooting to the top shelves of health food stores. But, for now, that's where they keep the vitamin C.
