Comparing MaxGXL™ with HMS 90®/Immunocal®

Over the years, I have been asked numerous times to give my opinion about a product or
products on the market that proclaim to raise glutathione levels. Several of my publications have
discussed many different ways of raising glutathione, in science there are rarely any “secrets”.
I hoped the answers to most of your questions would be found in these essays.

However, over the past few months, I have been deluged with questions and concerns regarding
the MLM product called “MaxGXL”. I undertook a study of its contents and effectiveness to
better be able to address all the queries. My answers are based on the science behind the
individual components as well as trying to access any studies done specifically on MaxGXL. In
an attempt to be more efficient, I have put forward a comparison chart to clarify some of the
major differences.

I encourage the reader to verify all the information below on their own or through a qualified
health professional. The source of information you use should be unbiased to ensure no
association with either MaxGXL or Immunotec to ensure that it be impartial.

Hope this information serves you well,
