A next generation health product has been brought to market to aid in the production of glutathione. In case you’re not familiar with Glutathione, it delivers several important benefits to your health including fortifying the immune system, cleansing toxins from your body , helping to deal with inflammation and halting the spread of oxy- radicals.

Free radicals are a critical issue because the damage that free radicals create in your body has been linked to over 74 major disorders and illnesses and the main tool we can call on to help combat the destruction caused by oxidative stress is Antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that can prevent the multiplication of free radicals, which left unchecked will create an ongoing chain reaction of damaged molecules that eventually destroy the cells and the systems in your body . With the many antioxidants available to us , one does a superior job of protecting your cells from the damage caused by free radicals and that antioxidant is Glutathione.

Glutathione is naturally manufactured by your body. Unfortunately , as we age, it retards the creation of glutathione and -when you need it most, glutathione is less and less available to you . It would be simple to fix if you could just supplement with glutathione , but that is not the case . Oral glutathione supplements can’t work , mostly because as the oral supplements pass through your stomach , the glutathione is damaged by your gastric juices and is not readily absorbed into the bloodstream.

The strategy that is more effective is to supplement with glutathione precursors. Precursors are the raw materials that your body needs to make glutathione naturally . By providing your body with an increased supply of the raw materials it needs , blood and liver glutathione levels are raised naturally – and significantly . Up until now the most effective precursor supplement that I know of to raise glutathione levels is MAXGXL from Max International. But now it appears that this company has gone one step better and introduced a new Glutathione precursor called MAXONE.

MaxONE has its own compound named RiboCeine, that has been featured prominently in connection with MAX ATP (I’ll write about ATP in another post ). RiboCeine gets the name from D-Ribose – a simple, chemically linear sugar that supports the production of ATP and L-Cysteine, one of the most important materials from which we make glutathione. While MAXGXL uses a blend of L Glutamine and NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), MAXONE uses RiboCeine, which apparently is better at protecting the Cysteine in its journey through the gastric system and deliver more to the cells, resulting in 300% more glutathione in the liver .

Recently Max has added a newer product, which might just be the best one yet. Cellgevity is riboceine based but also includes a variety of other ingredients – many of which are found in GXL to support not only the original production of glutathione, but also its recycling

Atherosclerosis, the health-related name for heart disease is the # 1 killer among North Americans. But what is heart disease? Well, sclerosis indicates “hardening” and athero describes the type of substance that clogs and hardens arteries. In time, our risk factors gradually rise but certain risk factors are important in identifying if we’re possible prospects and they include our Age group, blood pressure, total cholesterol levels and good (HDL) cholesterol amounts.

Warning Indicators:

High total cholesterol
Increased amounts of cholesterol in the blood can contribute to atherosclerosis, which is the slow accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other particles along the sides of your arteries. It’s named plaque and it can accumulate enough to constrict and stiffen the artery. If the plaque is bad enough, it can restrict blood flow past the blockage. Parts can also break off and cause a heart attack or stroke. An acceptable cholesterol level is 170 mg/dL or lower.

Low HDL “good” cholesterol
High density lipoproteins (HDL) absorb cholesterol and recycle it back to the liver for disposal. A normal, healthy HDL level is over 60 mg/dL. HDL cholesterol increases with workouts. We require daily exercise to enhance our HDL and minimize our risk of heart disease.

High blood Pressure
Blood pressure is read as two numbers. The higher number, called the systolic pressure, is the pressure in the arteries when your heart beats . The other number, called the diastolic pressure, stands for the pressure when the heart is at rest.

A healthy systolic number is 115. If your arteries are stiff, inflexible, inflamed or too narrow, your heart will have to work harder and this will create a higher systolic measure.

A normal diastolic measure is 75 or lower. When the diastolic number is increased it can mean that your lungs, kidneys and liver are not properly detoxifying your body.

High blood pressure, along with high cholesterol numbers and low HDL levels should be viewed as warning signals from our body. Heightened homocysteine sounds a louder alarm and excessive C-Reactive protein levels should never be ignored .

In addition to exercise, products like MAXONE which help the heart by supporting our glutathione production, ProArgi 9 Plus which acts as a Nitric Oxide Precursor and Herbal supplements like R-Gardens Heart Blend will all help you support your good health.

Everybody has heard of vitamin C also known asascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic DHAA in its oxidized form. Basically, vitamin C is pretty much a generic name for all compounds that have the same biologic activity as Ascorbic acid . It’s importance was originally recognized in 1747 when James Lind found that men could be cured of scurvy if provided oranges and lemons. It was a lifesaving breakthrough for sailors and the phrase Limey’s was easily adopted referring to the sailors in His Majesty’s Royal Navy.

Vitamin C is the most crucial and available water soluable antioxidant within the human body . Its water solubility means that it can scavenge free radicals before they reach the cellular shell. The relationship between Ascorbic Acid and glutathione- the body’s master antioxidant is unique. Vitamin C reduces glutathione back to the active form. Once reduced, glutathione will revitalize vitamin C from its DHAA or oxidized state. This why Vitamin C is an ingredient in Cellgevity Vitamin C is essential for the manufacturing of collagen. It is also needed in the development of norepinephrine and serotonin. Ascorbic Acid may also have some anticlotting and blood flow advancement attributes by stimulating the release within the body of Nitric Oxide, and that’s why Vitamin C is also a key ingredient in the supplement Pro-Argi9-Plus

Vitamin C is held in both the tissues and blood in our bodies. The adrenal and pituitary glands, and lens of the eye comprise the highest concentrations of vitamin C within the body. It is one of the 13 essential vitamins. Despite the fact that the phrase “Essential” is often mis-used. What it really means is that an essential vitamin is one that must be provided by our food since we are not able to manufacture it within the body.

Like glutatione alpha lipoic acid (ALA)is to be found in every cell in your body. It’s an antioxidant that helps your cells convert glucose into energy. ALA works – is soluable, in both water and fat so it can work anywhere in your body unlike antioxidants like Vitamin C or vitamin E which only work in water and fat respectively. Like other antioxidants, ALA helps clean free radicals – your body’s metabolic trash – from the cells which prevents them from becoming cluttered and toxic from a build up of waste. Alpha lipoic Acid has the ability to help to regenerate other antioxidants once they have collected the stray electrons and through the regeneration process renders them able to continue to neutralize more free radicals. this ability to regenerate other antioxidants, while not completely unique, it extremely valuable.

ALA is also used as an abbreviation for Alpha Linolenic Acid which is an omega-3 fatty acid, connected with heart health, but this is a different substance from Alpha lipoic acid – also referred to as Lipoic Acid.

Several studies have indicated that ALA may be able to help reduce levels of blood sugar and combined with it’s antioxidant properties, ALA might be helpful to people suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy, relieving some of the discomfort caused by nerve damage.

Researchers are studying alpha lipoic acid to determine its effectiveness against glaucoma although the are yet to collect sufficient data, but because it can pass easilt to the brain, it is possible that ALA might be useful as a protector against brain and nerve tissue damage. it is currently being studied as a possible treatment for stroke and other brain problems with root causes based on free radical damage. Dementia is one such condition.

ALA is one of the ingredients in MaxGXL and it’s also one of the ingredients in Max International’s newest glutathione support product – Cellgevity. It works with your body’s glutathione and as a powerful antioxidant, fights the root causes of premature aging.
