And Why Am I Still Fat?

Participants at the University of Connecticut lost an average of:



  • 21.5 lbs. of Body Fat in 8 weeks!

  • 3.96 inches off their waist

  • 3.28 inches off their hips

  • 1.20 inches off each thigh

What Is Leptin...?


And Why Am I Still Fat?
Fat cells produce the powerful hormone leptin, a primary force instructing metabolism, weight loss, and hormone balance. Leptin communicates directly to your brain, telling the brain how much fat is in storage. It controls appetite, energy, and metabolic rate. Leptin problems are the primary reason for food cravings, overeating, faulty metabolism, the obsession with food, and heart disease.


Your Body Is Talking...


Is Your Brain Listening?
The University of Minnesota picked up on a major scientific discovery back in 1994 by Jeffrey Friedman at Rockefeller University regarding a fat hormone called Leptin.


"It was discovered that leptin sends messages to the brain related to appetite and fat storage. Excessive leptin levels create a resistance so the brain sends the erroneous message to eat more food, store fat in the cells, and not release stored fat from the cells."


The more fat we have the more Leptin we have, creating an unending cycle.


What is MaxWLX Anyway?


For many of us, extra weight settles around our middle area giving us a “beer belly” or unwanted “love handles.” We may look perfectly normal except for our tummy, which gives us an “apple” shape.


Not only is this enlarged belly unattractive, it’s unhealthy as well. The Mayo Clinic reported that gaining weight in the abdomen increases the risk of:



  • Heart Disease

  • Breast Cancer

  • Diabetes

  • Metabolic Syndrome

  • Gallbladder Problems

  • High Blood Pressure

  • Clolrectal Cancer (1)

As if that weren’t enough, a March 2008 study [2] published in the medical journal Neurology, found that those who were obese and had high amounts of abdominal fat were 3.6 times as likely to develop Alzheimers disease. Even those who were at a normal weight but had high amounts of belly fat were nearly twice as likely to develop dementia as those of normal weight but little abdominal fat.


MaxWLX™ to the Rescue!
Not only does Max International’s new weight loss product help you lose weight, but it has been shown in a clinical study to zap belly fat!


In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study [3] conducted at the University of Connecticut, the natural polysaccharide and fatty acid formula of MaxWLX had many significant advantages over the control group.


Here’s the happy statistic: The MaxWLX group lost 90 percent more weight than the diet and exercise alone group. But an even more stunning statistic was that the MaxWLX group had a 62 percent greater loss in waist measurement than the control group. Talk about a belly buster!


William J. Kraemer, PhD, conducted the studies on MaxWLX at the University of Connecticut. The results of the study overcame his natural skepticism for yet another weight loss product. “We were very excited about the results on this study. I think the most profound findings were:


(1) that you saw a significant loss of body fat,
(2) the body weight went down, and
(3) it went down in the torso area, which is really a problem in many health related issues and pathologies.”


Think about how marvelous this really is!


Two groups of dieters, the MaxWLX and a control group—both received dietary counseling… both were in a supervised exercise program. But taking MaxWLX resulted in a 62 percent greater reduction in waist circumference, the problem area for so many of us!


MaxWLX really works, helping people lose where it really counts! Are you ready to tame your tummy?

Getting Your Gloot On...

What Can Increasing Your Glutathione Do For You?

Simply put, glutathione (GSH) is the body’s master antioxidant. It 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.

Modern research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Decreased levels of glutathione can be brought about by continual stress upon the immune system. 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.

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.

Introducing MaxGXL™

Are You Burning Out?

From the very first breath we take to our last exhale, we all have one thing in common.
Breathing air provides our cells with oxygen for life and energy production. Pollutants and toxins in the air are also part of the modern global condition.
Our need and intake of oxygen also results in oxidation and free radicals bouncing around in our cells, all 50 trillion or so of them, leading to cell damage and intracellular and systemic inflammation.

Did you know our body is designed with an amazing cell cleanser, detoxifier, free radical neutralizer, and inflammation reducer called glutathione (GSH). It is the most concentrated of all intercellular endogenous antioxidants.

Without it we would die.

This major antioxidant is one of the most important aspects we all share.
With our first breath, we needed glutathione to help fight against the oxidation and inflammation that is a normal part of our quest to survive.
And on the day we take our last breath, glutathione will be there as our main intracellular protector and defender!

With pollution, toxins, heavy metals and other 'junk' invading our bodies and cells, GSH can't quite keep up and we lose GSH production over the years (about 10-12% a decade). Increased inflammation, diseases, signs of aging, and lower energy levels can be the results of lower GSH levels.

Over 10 years, Dr. Robert H. Keller researched and developed the GSH enhancement formula (MaxGXL) to improve the quality of life for his clinic's patients with HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, CFS, and other medical conditions.

A recent Clinical Study of GXL validates earlier clinical findings of the efficacy of the GXL formula. Here are a few highlights

4 Facts About Glutathione (GSH)

Our body naturally creates a powerful antioxidant called "glutathione" or "GSH" to help deal with dangerous daily by-products of breathing oxygen and the toxic intrusions in our air, water, and food.While glutathione (GSH) is thousands of times more prevalent and powerful than our body's other antioxidants, there are four important areas we must understand if we are going to make use of improved glutathione levels.


  1. Glutathione Absorption: We know that increased glutathione levels cleanse and optimize the cells of our body. How do we increase the GSH levels? Intravenous GSH is costly and a one-shot solution. Ingesting GSH supplementation gets torn apart in digesting it. GSH that would get to the blood stream is too large a molecule to get through cell membranes. The answer was developed by Dr. Robert Keller by creating a high level absorptive blend which contains the ingredients for GSH to be naturally accelerated in the most needed areas of the body.
  2. Glutathione Production: Glutathione is needed and used in all the 50 trillion cells tens of thousands of times per second. By providing the amino acids and other precursors needed by the cell to produce GSH, Dr. Keller's GXL formula naturally optimizes intracellular health in the areas it is most needed. GSH neutralizes oxidative stress and chaperones toxins from the cells and body.
  3. Glutathione Recycling: GSH is not only increased by the MaxGXL blend by more than 290% in 60 days, it is also recycled over and over again because of the other ingredients in the GXL formula. Dr. Keller does not know how many times the recycling of GSH goes around, but it is significant.
  4. Glutathione Maximization: Dr. Keller points out that there are at least 17 enzymes involved in the production, recycling, and storage of GSH. The blend uses the quercetin, cordyceps, and silimarin to maximize and aid these enzymes. An added benefit is the rejuvenation of the liver functions for creating and storing GSH.

The Future of Cellular Nutrient Delivery Has Arrived


We Shrunk Your Vitamins ...

What is a Nano?

Nanofusion

Until now, no technique has been successful at employing both methodologies, i.e., bonding the particle to a carrier while reducing the particle to a “cellular-ready” size.

The Max Cellular Transport System accomplishes both and has been chosen by Max International as the means of providing the consumer with a product that is uniquely superior to the competition. This system process solves the problem of bioavailability by reducing the active substance to nanosize (less than 100 nm in size) which allows enhanced passage of biological membranes and by encapsulating the nanosized particle within a nanosized water cluster so the inclusion material is as easily recognized and absorbed as water.

Truly Nano — From Creation to Consumption

Only the Max Cellular Transport System process can create a stable water cluster capable of passing through the bloodstream directly into tissues at the cellular level.

Other processes that are designed to render nutrient particles into a nanosized format run into difficulty when the laws of physics free the particles to re-agglomerate into larger particle groups (the particles “clump up”). Hence, while some companies tout “nano” products, the size of their particles cannot meet the criteria (one dimension of the particle must be 100 nm or less) and therefore the term nano is simply an empty marketing term that can mislead less informed readers.

  • Supports the production and function of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), two vital antioxidants produced by the body to fight the potent free radical superoxide.*
  • Provides needed nutrients to further optimize glutathione (GSH) production.*
  • Delivers vitamns, minerals, and herbal ingredients to support optimal cell function, cellular communication and cellular defense mechanisms.*
  • Delivers targeted nutrients needed to support leptin sensitivity.*
  • Contains D-ribose and CoQ10 to support ATP (energy) production and function.*
  • Utilizes patent-pending nanotechnology designed to maximize absorption.*

What Is...

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that removes the superoxide (O2-) radical. We hear a lot in nutritional news about "antioxidants". Think of SOD as a natural antioxidant. Since cancer cells produce more oxidants than normal cells, they can basically oxidize themselves to death. That is why SOD is a target protein — if SOD is inhibited in the cancer cell, the cancer cells are damaged, controlling growth.

Catalase (CAT)

Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms, where it functions to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Catalase has one of the highest turnover rates of all enzymes; one molecule of catalase can convert millions of molecules of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen per second.

Catalase is a tetramer of four polypeptide chains, each over 500 amino acids long. It contains four porphyrin heme (iron) groups that allow the enzyme to react with the hydrogen peroxide. The optimum pH for catalase is approximately 7, while the optimum temperature varies by species.

Further Benefits

Max N-Fuze™ supports the production of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, two extremely important endogenous antioxidants. SOD’s main purpose is to reduce or “quench” superoxide, one of the most potent and damaging free radicals our cells encounter, into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Then the antioxidant catalase further reduces the hydrogen peroxide to H2O (water) and O2 (oxygen).
Max N-Fuze™ provides the needed nutrients to further support the function of MaxGXL®. It contains D-ribose and CoQ10 to support ATP (energy) production and function. Exogenous antioxidants sources ease the burden of endogenous antioxidants. It also provides the vitamins and minerals needed to support leptin sensitivity.

Breakthrough Technology, Peace of Mind

Max N-Fuze™ is the newest demonstration of Max International’s continued commitment to provide breakthrough products with efficacy and safety.

To signify this commitment, Max N-Fuze™ was subjected to vigorous safety testing at Clemson University. Additionally, Max International is a member of the Institute of Nutraceutical Research (INR). The INR is a leading research group that consolidates the intellectual and physical resources of faculty at Clemson University and links these resources to South Carolina Nutrition Research Consortium (SCNRC) involving the South Carolina Research Authority, the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of SC in a unique partnership.

Technology Fusion Creates Maximum Impact
Patent-pending technology embeds nano-sized particles within all water clusters. This technology provides maximumn absorption and benefit.
