MaxGXL Formula: Ingredients
MaxGXL is a patented formula*, consisting of the ingredients listed below. It is taken orally in capsular form, with the serving size consisting of three capsules. The suggested usage is one serving in the morning and a second serving in the afternoon.
Vitamin C
(as Calcium Ascorbate USP) 250 mg.
While the beneficial effects of vitamin C have been extensively documented, its role in MaxGXL is to aid in the transport of NAC across cell membranes and to conserve cytosolic glutathione stores.
L-Glutamine
750 mg.
The amino acid, L-Glutamine, supports the health and function of the GI tract by nourishing the tissue. It has also been shown to have beneficial effects on the liver and the immune system. Its role in MaxGXL is to additionally preserve intracellular NADPH, which is required for glutathione recycling.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)
375 mg.
The rate limiting substrate for the body to synthesize glutathione is the amino acid, Cysteine, of which NAC is a derivative. By itself, NAC has been used in medicine for decades in the treatment of acetaminophen overdose, as well as the long-term management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). It is also thought to have a role in protecting the kidneys from the toxic effects of contrast dye.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
75 mg.
Lipoic acid plays the role of increasing the de novo synthesis of reduced cellular glutathione by improving the utilization of cysteine.
Cordyceps
This is a caterpillar fungus has been known for centuries to Tibetan, Chinese, and folk medicines as an aphrodisiac as well as for its ability to treat diverse ailments from fatigue to cancer.
N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG)
NAG is an important precursor for the biosynthesis of the glycocalyx, a viscous mucosa that protects the GI tract from bacterial, acidic, and enzymatic exposure while permitting the selective absorption of nutrients into the body.
Quercetin
Quercetin eliminates toxic substances from the liver. It is additionally anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial.
Silimarin
From Milk Thistle Extract (Silybum marianum)
The role of silimarin** is to improve and restore liver function by quenching potentially toxic free radical chemical species and promoting protein synthesis leading to new liver cell growth.
*U.S. Patent 6,262,019; Other International and U.S. Patents pending.
**Various spellings of silimarin are found in the scientific and medical literature.
