Public Comments
1. My wife took it for a different reason. The only side effect she experienced was some slight weight gain.2. I have taken Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin for my fibromyalgia pain.
None of these really did anything for me, unfortunately!
I know that every person is different though, and some people have fantastic results!
Good luck to you.
3. It’s not an uncommon situation to be diagnosed with a serious illness and feel the need to learn all you can about it. Of course your doctor and medical team are there for you in terms of instructions and information, but they are often busy with tons of patients and can only give you so much time. With fibromyalgia you want your information and you want it now. The changes are good you will learn about the newest treatment for fibromyalgia and other aspects of care with your own set of resources rather than wait for the doctor to let you know. Most physicians are simply too busy to notify each individual patient of new information. If you want to keep up to date on fibromyalgia health and how to take care of yourself, here are a few resources you should keep in mind.
* Your doctor naturally
* Online resources
* Medical periodicals

4. Glutathione: The Body's Master Antioxidant glutathione (GSH) is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine. . 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.
Glutathione has been shown to slow down the aging process, detoxify and improve liver function, strengthen the immune system, and reduce the chances of developing cancer. Glutathione also works to help improve mental functions, increase energy, improve concentration, permit increased exercise, and improve heart and lung function - just to name a few.
Increasing Age and Other Factors Reduce the Body’s Production and Utilization of GSH. Research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Research shows that GSH levels decline by 8% to 12% per decade, beginning at the age of 20. Levels of glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and environmental toxins. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.
Supplements Containing Glutathione Alone Will NOT Increase the Body’s GSH Levels. It is pointless to purchase supplements that merely contain glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down ingested glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system. On the other hand, MaxGXL™ provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body's own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL™ also aids in liver support by destroying environmental poisons helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.
