MAXGXL and a Testimonial on the Power of Glutathione

By Anna Ruth

The human body is an amazing creation, with the ability to manage many of it's own resources like the production of anti oxidants. Glutathione is one example of this and while it is present in some of the healthier food choices, we do make it ourselves.

Glutathione, a small molecule in the body, is formed by three amino acids. The product of these amino acids can be found in every cell of the body, but it must be created from these acids before it can help you. Glutathione is vital to the immune system. It helps the body produce lymphocytes, the cells that battle specific diseases and illnesses.

When it comes to maintaining a healthy level of glutathione in our systems, most people need only maintain a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Watermelon and asparagus are two great examples as is whey protein. These foods ensure that we can manufacture an adequate supply of the amino acids that are needed to create glutathione. Direct oral supplementation of glutathione has so far not proved to be very effective although many people try it in response to the natural decline in glutathione levels after we leave our twenties.

As an antioxidant, glutathione helps our body fix the damage created by a host of problems ranging from stress and a poor diet to radiation treatments, infection and burns. By neutralizing free radicals which damage our bodies at cellular level, antioxidants are critically important to our health. The liver plays an important part in this drama not only because it cleans pollutants and foreign chemicals from our system, it is also where much of the glutathione is actually produced.

Who should look at increasing the amount of glutathione in their bodies? Anyone who is dealing with high blood pressure, cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, cataracts, and even men who are dealing with infertility issues may benefit from more glutathione. It can also help when recovering from chemotherapy and other radiation treatments. However, it is important to note that studies are still being done on glutathione, and it may not affect everyone in the same way. No one is quite certain what the final word on glutathione will be, but let me share a story with you because one of the most rewarding things about being involved - even peripherally in the health business is having the opportunity to hear the testimonials of people who feel that a product has had a positive impact on their life.

One such story is from a man, named Larry. His story is a testament to the important role that the antioxidant - glutathione can play in our lives. He had endured for 15 years, a condition that created periods of extreme fatigue. After - in his own words, he "completely ran out of gas" a team of five doctors uncovered that his immune system had almost completely shut down. He was anemic, with an iron deficiency and a host of other medications and supplements that had accomplished very little for him.

In the middle of December Larry was introduced to a supplement that was designed to help his body produce more glutathione and it only took about three days for him to start to feel the difference. This man, who had only been able to sustain any level of activity for about an hour was able to work for several hours to finish up his Christmas decorations and at the end felt tired - but not totally depleted. He woke up the next morning feeling energized and to his surprise the feelings of total fatigue did not return.

By the end of January, Larry was functioning normally. His exhaustion was a thing of the past and some other problems like a perpetual feeling of discomfort in his hands went away as well. His mental clarity returned to him and for the first time in a long time he was able to work though mental questions that had previously completely defeated him. You know how it feels to do something when you're really tired. For Larry that feeling went away. Imagine the impact on his life.

Larry told his brother, a physician about the change and his brother could easily see the difference that the higher levels of glutathione had made in Larry and in his life. When he was no longer taking - get this- 78 different pills every day, Larry was finally able to truly enjoy the excitement of getting his life back. - 26706
