"I chose medicine because I really wanted to help people. Now that sounds corny, but in point to fact that was really my mantra and still is. I haven’t changed.
Since I had a variety of patients who suffered from low energy, lack of mental focus, said “I can’t get out of bed in the morning or if I do get out of bed in the morning by 11:00 I’m ready to go back to bed.“ [Glutathione] looked like the answer to it.
What in essence we’re doing is empowering each cell in the body to function at it’s full potential. If you use a Glutathione supplement it will be destroyed in your stomach before it is absorbed in your body. Even if Glutathione could reach the cells, the Glutathione molecule is simply too big and heavy to pass through the cell membrane.
[Max's Glutathione accelerator] on the other hand has the components of Glutathione that when absorbed into the body will be maximally created into Glutathione so that it can be used within each and every cell in your body.
I can only say this from the bottom of my heart and from everything I’ve learned in medicine and science over the last 30 years: We are all subject to aging and one of the key elements that we have the ability to control, we meaning each and every one of us, is the ability to stop this inevitable rusting that goes on in our bodies."

"Categorically and without any equivocation whatsoever, I can tell you that Glutathione is THE most important endogenous antioxidant there is. For one thing it is manufactured by your own body. Secondly… it is the only antioxidant that can recycle itself. No other antioxidant can do that.
One of the major functions of Glutathione is maintain what is known as cellular redox homeostasis. The simplification of this is that Glutathione helps maintain the oxidational level of cells and holds it in check.
A good example of this is the hemoglobin in your red blood cells has to be in a reduced state before it can carry oxygen. In other words, if it is oxidized hemoglobin, like in methemoglobin, oxygen cannot bind to methemoglobin therefore methemoglobin is not any good for carrying oxygen to your cells. It is Glutathione that reduces hemoglobin to the +2 state, which is the reduced state, and then it can carry oxygen on through your blood.
Another function of Glutathione is that it will protect against oxidative stress of the immune system allowing newly formed immune cells to proliferate to attack germs, viruses and the like.
Glutathione is the master of sequestering free radicals. Free radicals are generated normally in your metabolic processes. It not only sequesters those free radicals that are unwanted, it will take the free radicals that are generated as a result of exposure to your environment. You are constantly expose to industrial environments and chemicals and other agents that produce free radicals in your body. Glutathione will sequester this.
Glutathione is also important in protecting the nucleus and DNA of the cell and most importantly the mitochondrial DNA of the cell. Mitochondrial DNA is not very well protected. If you damage the mitochondrial DNA it results in cell death. This is what Glutathione protects against.
Glutathione is also important in the protein biosynthesis process. What happens is Glutathione takes amino acids, which are as you know the building blocks of protein, from the outside of the cell and transports it to the inside of the cell where protein biosynthesis can take place.
One of the most important things in this modern industrial world is that Glutathione is the first line of protection against environmental chemicals and toxins. It not only sequesters free radicals but other things like household chemicals that could be ingested or [absorbed] on the skin.
I can tell you again that Glutathione is the most important endogenous antioxidant there is."

"[Glutathione is] the master antioxidant in the body, the most important antioxidant in the body for our cells and tissues to be healthy we need glutathione levels and I actually measure Glutathione levels in a lot of my patients and I find when I can boost those levels up to a normal or high normal level, it helps so many different disease processes.
It [Glutathione] helps increase energy by protecting the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the little energy-producing factories in all our cells. Every cell in the body has mitochondria, from fat cells (it may only have 2 mitochondria) to heart muscle [cells] (that may have 2,500 mitochondria!). So what we find is this [glutathione] actually protects the mitochondria from the oxidative stress because when the body produces ATP, which is our energy currency, instead of producing smoke (like when you burn fire in a fireplace you produce smoke) but the body produces free radicals when we produce energy. And what the glutathione does it quenches these free radicals so it helps to protect the mitochondria enabling it to produce energy. So, producing energy is a major thing that most of my patients need, because so many people come in saying, ‘I’m tired, I’m exhausted!’
Also what glutathione does it detoxifies heavy metals and everyone on the planet has these toxic heavy metals in them. I find the sicker the patient, generally the more toxic metals and glutathione actually gently detoxifies the body of these heavy metals including Mercury, Cadmium and Lead which are three of the most common heavy metals we have as well as other toxic metals.
It’s interesting too that glutathione also helps increase longevity. They’ve done centenarian studies on patients who live to be over a hundred and they found a lot of these centenarians actually have the glutathione levels of a 30 to 50 year old. So they are linking high glutathione levels to longevity.
[Max's Glutathione accelerator] is able to boost glutathione 300% and actually you can measure this and a double-blinded placebo controlled study has confirmed this, which is the standard here in the U.S. for testing done. And I actually, when I measure Glutathione levels on my patients at a baseline, I see the boosting of Glutathione that this product is able to boost it significantly and especially after the 60 days and I have to tell patients, you’ve got to take this 60 days because you will see the benefit."

When asked about who he thinks should be on a Glutathione accelerator program he replied,
"People who are athletes, people who are under high stress, people who are overweight, people who are active and want to take a preventative step.
The ability to raise Glutathione in cells is the key feature here. There are a number of ways you can increase it, but none so elegant as or as impressive as the RiboCiene molecule, which relative to the original gold standard, which was N-acetylcysteine, it’s at least 290% to 300% more effective than that compound. It’s very important.
The idea is you want to have your body as tuned as you can. You want to put all of those things into boosting your Glutathione levels. I often use the analogy of people saying, “You know I don’t feel anything”, but prevention is like that. If you feel something it’s too late. Alternatively, you may have a condition and this could potentially help you by raising your Glutathione levels. The RiboCeine compound in it raises [Glutathione] levels in the cell and decreases the inflammation.
I view this as a kin to, although I don’t like analogy entirely, that it’s like a vitamin because vitamins are nowhere near as powerful. In fact many [vitamins] need a Glutathione molecule order to recycle. If you take vitamins you don’t necessarily feel much but you know they’re doing their job. You know you require them.
The beauty of Glutathione is that it is in every cell in your body and it is involved in multiple pathways and linkages to other things I your body. Why would not want to have the master antioxidant at its peak performance to protect you from the constant assault of the environment of driving through a city, the toxins in the air, drinking water? Even eating sushi has mercury and various other compounds and heavy metals in it.
These sorts of things are very important and here you have one compound that, without eating an additional 2000 calories of whey, can get this into the cells where it is needed so that your own cells produce Glutathione, protect your body and decrease inflammation."

[Glutathione] is really the most important antioxidant. It’s is the one the body relies on to clean up critical toxins. It’s being manufactured all the time [in the body]. The body makes critical use of this [Glutathione] to defend us against a variety of toxins.
If you have a chronic disease, most serious chronic diseases are associated with low levels of Glutathione. If you have diabetes, if you’ve gone through cancer, if you’re struggling with a serious infection that may indicate that you are depleting your Glutathione.
If you’re chronically run down, if you’re chronically fatigued [or] if your body just isn’t firing on all cylinders, [then] low Glutathione may be a part of it both cause and effect.

Dr Oz is also the director of Siga Technologies, a biotechnology firm that aims to find ways to treat infectious diseases such as small pox and Dengue fever.
See what Dr. Oz says about Glutathione on his own site and how vital it is to your health and well being.
"The most powerful antioxidant that you have never heard of...It’s one of the keys to fighting off diseases that you fear the most. It is called glutathione. Now write it down because it is critically important.
This is absolutely essential. You know how I talk about all the things to do in your life right; the foods to eat, the antioxidants, vitamins to take? They all work through this. In the body you’ve got Glutathione and you also have cells.
So you got these normal cells and you also have toxic cells. Some of these are from outside your body and some of them are cells of your own that have been damaged by free radicals and they’ve been oxidized: damaged by the sun, damaged from foods, whatever.
If you put in the normally existing Glutathione in your body, it will soak up a lot of these bad boys [and] take them away. Now, if you don’t have enough of the Glutathione…you’ll be lucky if you just get [just a few] of these toxic cells out. So you lose the powerful, natural ability of your body to heal itself. And we always brag about how the body can help you almost always recover. But only if you help it do that for you."
Mark Hyman, MD, is a practicing physician and an internationally recognized authority in the field of Functional Medicine - a revolution in 21st century medicine that provides a new road map for navigating the territory of health and illness. He is founder of The UltraWellness Center where he treats patients using this new model in his medical practice.
"It's the secret to prevent aging, cancer, heart disease, dementia and more, and necessary to treat everything from autism to Alzheimer's disease.
In treating chronically ill patients with Functional Medicine for more than 10 years, I have discovered that Glutathione deficiency is found in nearly all very ill patients. These include people with chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, cancer, chronic infections, autoimmune disease, diabetes, autism, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease and more.
Glutathione is the most critical and integral part of your detoxification system. All the toxins stick onto glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool and out of your body."
