Be healthy inside and out with Max International

MANILA, Philippines — A healthy body is a beautiful body.

For Joey Sarmiento, vice president for Max International-Asia, beauty that is beyond skin deep is what Filipinos should aspire for, given today’s fast-paced lifestyle that accelerates aging process.

“Health should be our barometer for what is beautiful. Pretty features can do very little if you are unhealthy or are suffering from a chronic disease,” Sarmiento says.

Sarmiento knows this too well, considering where he is coming from, Max International. Present in the country for a decade now, Max International has been known as the "Glutathione Company."

While glutathione has become synonymous with achieving fair skin, Sarmiento says that it is actually its least benefit. "It can provide far more significant health benefits,” he notes.

Glutathione is known to strengthen the immune system, neutralize many different types of free radicals, and protect against oxidative stress.

According to clinical research, glutathione, chemically known as GSH, is the “most important” antioxidant produced within body’s cells, playing a key role in tissue building and repair and in supporting the immune system.

It is, however, difficult to supplement the glutathione already present in one’s body, unlike vitamins or other nutrients, which can be easily taken. The digestive process breaks down GSH into unusable components before it can reach the cells, making oral consumption almost impossible.

Taking glutathione intravenously, on the other hand, is costly and can only be done at a doctor’s office.

Max International has solved this conundrum with its proprietary and patented technology RiboCeine, which has shown to be 300% more effective than the traditional N-acetyl-cysteine formula in raising glutathione levels in the liver.

RiboCeine was the result of years of research done by Dr. Herbert Nagasawa, who, through the 1960s and 70s, saw how the Second World War left veterans in despair and dependent on alcohol, including his own brother who suffered from cirrhosis.

This prompted Dr. Nagasawa to develop a way to better prevent alcoholics from developing fatty livers, thereby reducing the risk of cirrhosis and liver failure. He and his team sought to boost the body’s natural production of GSH through RiboCeine, which, once ingested, enters the bloodstream and delivers cysteine and ribose direct to the body’s cells, not only supporting glutathione production but also providing important fuel and energy for those cells. 

Today, it is the keystone ingredient in several of Max International’s products, including Cellgevity and MaxOne.

MaxOne, in particular, is purely 100% RiboCeine, which means it is safe even for people with allergies to shellfish and mushrooms as there are no additional active ingredients. 

Cellgevity, on the other hand, features an advanced RiboCeine™ formula with 12 synergistic ingredients—including aloe leaf, Vitamin C, broccoli seed extract, resveratrol, and grape seed extract, among others.

“We at Max International believe that you should be healthy inside and out,” says Jim Stevralia, president of Max International Global.

“Glutathione is the most powerful component of our body’s antioxidant defense system. It is even more powerful than Vitamin C— increasing our energy and slowing down the aging process,” Stevralia ends.
