GLUTATHIONE

What IS it?

Imagine a single item that could thoroughly clean your home, wash your clothes, purify the air you breather, protect you against tainted food and defend you and your family from a criminal attack. This is an analogy to what this substance does within your body.

Your body is designed with an amazing cell cleanser, detoxifier, free radical neutralizer, and inflammation reducer called glutathione. It is the most concentrated of all intercellular antioxidants.

Glutathione (pronounced 'gloo-ta-thigh'-own') is not some new discovery. It's been know about by scientists for a century.

But today, Glutathione is not yet a household word. Even some medical and holistic doctors who have heard the term may still have only a vague idea of what it is. Although there are more than 80,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine.

There was a time when only scientists had heard of cholesterol and vitamins, but today, everyone knows about them. In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells. Everyone will soon be talking about this critical substance.


Perhaps it's the increasing interest of the aging baby boomer that has brought this substance into focus. This generation has driven main trends throughout their lives. They're looking for solutions that don't involve taking drugs!

Simply put, glutathione (GSH) is the body's master antioxidant.

It is literally thousands of times more prevalent and powerful than our body's other antioxidants or antioxidants that we ingest.

"To understand how Glutathione works in the cells, consider the analogy of a forest fire. Your body has up to 100 trillion cells. Each one is subject to the process of oxidation which, like a fire, would destroy the cell if left unchecked. Normal antioxidants, like those found in fruits and vegetables in your diet, can be compared to a firefighting helicopter that scoops up water from a lake and drops it on a patch of burning trees. It might put out a few trees but the rest of the fire continues to burn. The effect of dramatically increasing Glutathione levels, on the other hand, can be likened to every tree in the forest having its own sprinkler system, drawing water from an underground lake. As soon as a fire begins, the sprinkler system of each tree gets switched on, putting out the fire in every tree in the forest simultaneously." -Robert Keller


Glutathione is the body's essential health ABC's - Antioxidant, Blood Booster and Cell Detoxifier. It is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It maintains these three crucial protective functions.

Glutathione is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any sort of emotional or physical stress, fatigue and even moderate exercise. It functions both as an antioxidant and an anti-toxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging.

In fact, your life depends on glutathione.


The Glutathione Challenge

Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Modern research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness.

With pollution, toxins, heavy metals and other 'junk' invading our bodies and cells, glutathione can't quite keep up and we lose glutathione production over the years (about 10-12% a decade). Decreased levels of glutathione can be brought about by continual stress upon the immune system. A lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. Increased inflammation, diseases, signs of aging, and lower energy levels can be the results of lower glutathione levels.

This is a ferocious cycle. You need glutathione for a productive immune system and a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.

Unfortunately we can't raise our body's Glutathione level with ordinary foods. Even though glutathione is present in many fruits, vegetables, and meats, this protein is instantly broken down during digestion into its three amino acids.
Cysteine, (NAC), is the most important of these precursors and is the main limiting factor necessary for the body to manufacture Glutathione. By itself in the gut after digestion, cysteine is treated as a free radical and rapidly oxidized. Consequently, only a very small percentage reaches our bloodstream and cells.
Also, Glutathione is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed, so any Glutathione that is made will be used up quickly, making it even more difficult to increase this level.


What Can Increasing Your Glutathione Do For You

Increasing Glutathione has been shown to
· slow down the aging process
· detoxify and improve liver function
· strengthen the immune system
· reduce the chances of developing cancer

Glutathione also works to help
· improve mental functions
· increase energy
· improve concentration
· permit increased exercise
· improve heart and lung function.


How do we Increase Glutathione levels?

Glutathione is produced naturally from three amino acids: glycine, glutamine, and cysteine. These needed precursors of Glutathione must be able to make it from the mouth to the gut, then through the cells walls, into the 'energy plants' of the cells. This is the challenge.
Intravenous Glutathione is effective, but costly and a one-shot solution.
Ingesting Glutathione supplements gets torn apart in digesting it. Glutathione that would get to the blood stream is too large a molecule to get through cell membranes.

The answer was developed by Dr. Robert Keller by creating a high level absorbable blend which contains the ingredients for Glutathione to be naturally accelerated in the most needed areas of the body. This was a ten year process for Dr. Keller.

After learning of the importance of Glutathione, Dr. Keller needed to test the hypothesis that the levels of Glutathione in subjects with immune disorders were, in fact, severely diminished. To get a current and accurate gauge of a subject's Glutathione level, Dr. Keller knew the test must measure Glutathione inside of lymphocytes (activated cells); however, no such lab test existed.
Using a state-of-the-art medical laboratory, Dr. Keller and his team of scientists developed a proprietary lab test to measure levels of GSH inside the lymphocytes.
The tests confirmed the hypothesis. People who are stressed, aging, lacking sleep, or with any prolonged illness, utilize glutathione at an accelerated rate resulting in decreased bodily stores, weakened defenses, and increased risk of illnesses, including accelerated aging.

This formula today is called MaxGXL®. It's the only product that holds a U.S. Composition Patent for increasing production of Glutathione.


MaxGXL® was clinically proven to raise Glutathione levels an average of 292% in 60 days.


Because of the other ingredients in the formula, the Glutathione produced is actually recycled for higher effectiveness. Dr. Keller points out that there are at least 17 enzymes involved in the production, recycling, and storage of Glutathione. His blend uses additional ingredients to maximize and aid these enzymes. An added benefit is the rejuvenation of the liver functions for creating and storing glutathione.

There are a couple of other products on the market that raise glutathione levels, although not to the level of MaxGXL (292% vs. 35.5%)and they do not produce the recycling of the Glutathione once it's produced. One product is a milk protein isolate. This requires mixing a substance to drink and it does not produce the same dramatic increase of Glutathione. Another has some questionable science.

MaxGXL is the simplest, fastest and least expensive way to help your body in the production of glutathione. You body has it's own wisdom and will prioritize the use of this resource based on your individual needs.
