Glutathione is the most important endogenous antioxidant for cellular defense against oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress is a metabolic condition where excess free radicals are being produced. Medics say chronic oxidative stress has been associated with many diseases and disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cataract formation among others.
Max International Chief Executive Officer Joseph Voyticky said a person with a weakened immunity has a higher risk of experiencing frequent infections and severe symptoms.
According to medics, a person with a weakened immune system is more prone to pneumonia and other conditions. Bacteria and viruses, including the virus that causes the COVID-19 infection, can have a devastating effect on a person with a compromised immune system.
But how do you fix it?
Through several products by Max International, Voyticky says a person can strengthen their immunity and subsequently improve their wellbeing.
“We take things for granted with respect to our health until we get sick. With the COVID-19 crisis, people are learning to that it is vital to put our immune systems strong,” he said during an interview with journalists in Nairobi.
“When you look at cities like Accra, Lagos and Nairobi, there are a lot of vehicles which produce an incredible amount of waste into the air and we are breathing that air. But people don’t stop to think about how their bodies are dealing with all these stresses.”
How does our body fight back?
Voyticky said the body has a way to fight the free radicals released from the stress.
“We deal with that through glutathione,” he said.
“Glutathione is the most important and abundant antioxidant in the human body,” he said.
He explained that glutathione plays roles as an antioxidant and an anti-toxin, effectively providing a major defense system against illness and aging. The challenge is that as a person age, the levels of glutathione decreases.
“Glutathione production naturally declines as we age and bodily stores are depleted when we are stressed, lack sleep, or have suffered prolonged illnesses,” he said.
Glutathione’s role in the human body is so extensive, he said, “that over 75 diseases are associated with low glutathione levels.”
“Unfortunately, raising glutathione levels in the body by eating glutathione-rich foods or orally supplementing glutathione has been limited since its fragile chemical structure makes surviving the digestive tract a near impossibility.”
Voyticky said Max’s patented molecule, RiboCeine™ represent the ‘holy grail’ of nutraceutical technology with respect to glutathione. “Max’s products enhance endogenous production of glutathione and deliver exogenous glutathione to the cell,” he said.
There are currently 44 peer-reviewed research studies demonstrating the effectiveness of Max’s flagship patented molecule RiboCeine™.
Glutathione has been shown to improve protein, enzyme, and bilirubin levels in the blood of individuals with alcoholic and nonalcoholic chronic fatty liver disease.
Max International develops and distributes proprietary and patent-protected nutritional supplements, weight loss, and beauty products. Max’s nutraceutical products focus on helping the cells of the body to produce glutathione or support glutathione’s functions. The company is the leading provider of effective glutathione enhancing nutritional supplements.
