Hello Barry,
You certainly know all about inflammation. When
you twist your ankle and it swells up to twice its
size...that's inflammation. You also probably know
that when you get a headache or strain yourback,
inflammation is the source of the pain you feel.
And, if you've read up on health conditions, you
may also be aware that inflammation is part
of a heart attack.
These types of inflammation that we're all familiar
with are associated with illnesses or injuries. But
chances are you are not aware of a very
significant inflammatory reaction - one that
profoundly affects your health every day of your
life and is not caused by illness or injury. I'm
talking about inflammation at the cellular level,
which is a normal process within the body.
To understand this kind of inflammation, it's
helpful to think about the trillions of cells in your
body as tiny 'power plants', each working to
maximum capacity to produce the energy to live a
healthy life. This energy is generated
in a complex chemical process which is involved
in Oxidation' - or the process of other chemicals
bonding with oxygen.
We all know that we need oxygen. Oxygen is
essential to life on earth. The reason it is
essential, ironically, is that it can also be
ultimately dangerous and destructive. Oxygen is
a highly unstable, highly reactive substance. All
kinds of materials, when exposed to oxygen, will
break down the bonds they have and form new
bonds.
This process - Oxidation - releases a great deal
of energy, but it also produces multiple waste
products.
You've seen oxidation hundreds of times. It's
one of the most common and powerful chemical
reactions on earth.
Oxidation is what happens when you leave an
iron pipe out in the rain and later you see it has
rusted. It's also what happens in your fireplace.
You see a log consumed in flames and think
about the soothing warmth and the bright light it
produces. Now, think about all the ashes that are
also left behind.
In your body, something very similar happens
within your cells. Energy (like the heat and light
in your fireplace) is produced by the cell's
oxidative reactions, but so is a 'pile of ashes,' so
to speak. The waste products left behind are
called oxidants. In many cases, they themselves
can be corrosive and destructive - like the rust
on that pipe I mentioned earlier. Even oxidants
that are -not in and of themselves- harmful, they
can really clog up the works in your cells, making
cells less efficient and less able to produce
energy. And because oxidation takes place
wherever oxygen is present...not just in your
cells...your body is under attack from without as
well as within...from pollutants, food additives
and other substances that can cause oxidative
damage to the cells.
But as we all know, the body is amazing self-
correcting system, so of course there are natural
processes in place to combat the damage
oxidation does. That's where inflammation
comes in. Inflammation is the natural result of a
cascade of biochemical processes and reactions,
the purpose of which is to undo the damage
done by oxidation in the cell.
The bad news is, these processes are neither
efficient nor effective. In point of fact, this
cellular inflammation - which you can neither see
nor feel - is at the source of many aspects of
poor health. As a matter of fact, this inflammation
response is the very core of the aging process.
Inflammation causes cells to function poorly, and
ultimately, these inefficient cells die. Body
systems deteriorate, and health challenges
result. It sounds hopeless, but it's not.
There ARE effective antioxidants, and they don't
all come in pills or juices. These antioxidants
clean out the waste products caused by
oxidation, so that oxidative damage is minimized
and cells continue to function effectively. So
with minimized cellular inflammation, cell death is
greatly reduced and our body is able to maintain
good health. And, it just so happens that the very
BEST antioxidant is naturally produced by your
body.
This antioxidant is called glutathione. It is a tri-
peptide - a chain of three amino acids - and, it is
tremendously effective at cleaning up after the
oxidative process. When adequate glutathione is
available to a cell, there is virtually no oxidative
damage and that whole inflammation cascade
simply never occurs.
But here's the problem: Your body becomes less
capable of producing glutathione as we age. And,
to make matters worse,your body is not selective
about where it uses the glutathione it has. So you
may use up all your glutathione doing minor
repairs in one body system, while you have
another system at risk of failure. It's like using all
the water you have on your front lawn while
you've have a forest fire threatening your house.
So... what can you do about all this? Why not take
glutathione in a supplement? Unfortunately, that
doesn't really work. Remember - Glutathione is a
string of 3 amino acids. And, your digestive
system was designed specifically to break up
strings of amino acids. Plus, even if the
glutathione molecule could reach your cells
intact, it's too big and heavy to get through.
That's why we developed Max GXL.
