Glutathione ~ The Superhero Antioxidant FAQ

Do the nutritional supplements from Max International contain actual Glutathione?

No.  These supplements contain the building blocks so that your body do what only it can do best — make its OWN Glutathione!

 

Will more Glutathione and/or the Max nutritional supplements have a positive effect on my symptom, disease or condition.

This is a very good question!  Dr. Daria Davidson, MD does a weekly call discussing a variety of symptoms and pathologies which are recorded and posted for future reference.  Dr. Corinne Allen, PhD also has some recorded calls and documents specific to pathologies of the brain such as memory loss and autism.  You might also take a look at the collection of interviews with other doctors in the The Doctor Is In as other symptoms and conditions are mentioned periodically.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just take a Glutathione pill or receive it in an IV (intravenously)?

The Glutathione molecule is extremely delicate and studies have shown that when Glutathione is taken orally, almost none of it actually makes it through your digestive tract due to the gastric juices.  Even if it did arrive in your nutrient absorbing small intestine, the molecule is also too big to cross the cell membrane into your tissues.

While Glutathione has been administered by IV, it is only successful in raising Glutathione levels in the blood stream for approximately one week.  The goal of raising your levels is to achieve increased intracellular Glutathione which means that the level in each and every cell in your body is optimal, not just in your blood stream.  While blood does perfuse your tissues with oxygen, the large Glutathione molecules infused into the blood with the IV will not permeate the cell walls.  Glutathione IVs are expensive (about $900 USD each) and need to be done weekly as the levels diminish as each day passes.  See also Dr. Daria Davidson’s audio under GENERAL: Other Glutathione Supplementation.

 

Where do I find more information about MaxGXL, MaxGXL Sport, MaxOne, MaxATP3, and MaxN-Fuze?

There are a number of  links available on this site under Resources:  Glutathione Resources… The Doctor is In, Athlete’s Corner, Documents.  Try exploring Body Kneads’ product site or you can check out the main Max International site.  If your questions are not answered in either place, please contact us directly to help you.

 

How do I buy the Glutathione promoting supplements from Max?

The quick answer is, contact us with your request and we’ll take care of it.

The long answer is that depends on where in the world you are contacting us from. These products are available for direct shipment from Max in the United States, Canada, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore and the prices have been equalized based on currency.  Body Kneads does keep a supply of MaxGXL and MaxGXL Sport in stock and readily available for sale in Canada.  The newer products only recently launched by Max are only available in certain countries on a personal use basis which means that Body Kneads is unable to sell the product from the clinic shelf, BUT it can be shipped to the consumer directly from the company. Due to this temporary complication it is best to contact us with your specific questions.

 

What is a detox reaction and why can they happen?

Depending on your lifestyle choices (alcohol, nicotine, medications, preservatives in food, artificial sweeteners, recreational drugs, etc), your age  and your general state of health you may have more or less of a build up of damaging free-radicals in your body.  Since Glutathione is such an efficient antioxidant, it rapidly sets to work to remove the damaging free-radicals that have been building up in your body over the years. This mass exodus of free-radicals sometimes creates a detoxification reaction for some people in the way of digestive upset, skin irritation/blemish, headache, or feeling like you’re getting the flu.  See also Dr. Daria Davidson’s audio about Detox Reactions.

 

How can I avoid a detox reaction?

While there are no guarantees to avoid a detox reaction, I have noticed that the vast majority of people I have shared these products with have not experienced one (statistically approximately 1 person in 100).  I believe that the reason for these great results lie in the fact that almost all of my customers pair the glutathione accelerators (Max GXL, MaxGXL Sport, MaxOne) with the Max N-Fuze product that levels the nutritional playing field and provides advanced cellular defense.  In other words, the broccoli in your refrigerator is lacking in nutritional content as compared to the broccoli your great-grandmother might have prepared.  Supporting your cells optimally means that your likelihood of reacting to the volume of free-radicals leaving your body.

 

What should I do if I have a detox reaction?

Firstly, assess if it is really limiting your life or if you can live with it knowing that it is a temporary side effect to improving your body’s overall health.  If it is life limiting, then it might mean reducing your intact of your chosen Glutathione accelerator each day to where the symptom becomes managable.  Once the managable symptom disappears, you may test your body’s tolerance by increasing your daily dose by a single capsule for  a few days at a time to see whether the symptom returns.

 

Is it safe to take more than the recommended dose?

The directions on the package are suggested by Max International for an average sized adult.  Many people have discovered that their bodies respond to more product based on their state of injury, illness or athletic training.  You will find testimonials to this effect in Athletes’ Corner or The Doctor Is In.

 

I have sensitive constitution and have been known to react to certain supplements in the past.  I am concerned about the expense of purchasing a bunch of product that I end up being unable to use.

Because of the natural ingredients in Visible Solutions, people with the most sensitive skin seem to be able to use it and love it.  However, if you do react poorly you can exercise the 30-day money back guarantee explained below.

 

Does Max have a money back guarantee?

All products from Max International have a 30 day money-back guarantee (less shipping costs).  This refund must be intiated within 30 days from the date of order and any unused product must be returned to Max International along with your assigned Refund Transaction Number.  Please contact Max International directly at 801-316-6380 or you can contact us to assist you.
