Energy … Natural ATP Production in the body!
MAXATP for great, natural energy!!!
Purpose: To provide a comprehensive solution to the energy creation, support, and protection needs of your body at the cellular level.
MaxATP™ is a completely unique and refreshing clean energy blend powered by RiboCeine™ that features optimal amounts of proprietary ingredients to support an active lifestyle along with the energy and antioxidant protection needs of our bodies at the cellular level.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the basic form of cellular energy for your body and is critically important to the life and health of every cell. As long as ATP is present in sufficient quantity, energy levels are maintained allowing cells and tissues to function at optimal levels. However, as we age, ATP production can become less efficient. The ATP process requires certain critical elements in order to be manufactured. Numerous vitamins and minerals support both ATP production as well as the process to release the energy stored in food as it goes through the metabolic process. ATP in our bodies is like the battery in a car. Everything in the car is dependent on the energy from the battery. When the battery power runs low, the lights in the car begin to dim and the performance of the car starts to suffer. However, when the battery power is re-charged or restored, performance returns to normal and the car functions exactly how it was designed. MaxATP provides the critical elements needed for proper ATP function and support. It includes optimal amounts of ribose (a precursor to ATP production), as well as other needed vitamins and nutrients to support natural ATP production in the cell. These fundamental building blocks of ATP ensure that your body is able to maintain optimal levels of energy for longer periods of time. Furthermore, MaxATP provides critical antioxidants needed to help protect the body from free radicals. MaxATP is powered by RiboCeine™, a breakthrough compound exclusive to Max International®, which effectively protects and delivers the fragile cysteine molecule to the cell. Cysteine is often in limited supply in the body, but is an essential component needed for the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Glutathione is especially important due to its unique ability to protect the mitochondria within the cell, the exact location where ATP is manufactured. RiboCeine also delivers ribose, a natural compound that is critical in replenishing the body’s energy reserves.
Unique Attributes
MaxATP supports the body’s production of ATP in three (3) unique ways:
1- Fuels ATP Production*- provides the nutrients that fuel ATP production in our cells including optimal amounts of ribose. Ribose is one of the primary components needed for the production of ATP.
2- Replenishes energy and fights fatigue*- helps your body with the conversion of food into energy. Optimal amounts of ATP help you feel less fatigued.
3- Neutralizes free radicals*- only MaxATP can provide RiboCeine™ to assist your body in the production of glutathione which helps to neutralize the enormous amount of free radicals created during ATP production. MaxATP also provides other substances known to neutralize free radicals.

Supporting Ingredients
Proprietary Blend:
Ribose – an essential component in the natural creation of ATP. Your body cannot create ATP without it.
N-acetyl -L-carnitine – increases the rate at which the liver oxidizes fat therefore increasing the amount of energy available. Carnitine shuttles long chain fatty acids from the liver into the mitochondria to be metabolized.
RiboCeine™ – an exclusive product comprised of ribose and cysteine, RiboCeine effectively passes through the digestive tract and delivers the fragile cysteine molecule to the cell, enabling efficient, natural production of glutathione. The ribose compound in RiboCeine is also used by the cell as an essential component to ATP production, your body’s source of energy. This allows your body to essentially manufacture glutathione “on demand” so it is ready to defend itself from free radical damage when it needs it most.
Panax Ginseng – Panax Ginseng is ginseng from Asia and is a known adaptogen to support an increased flow of steady energy throughout the day.
Green Tea Extract – is known to have high antioxidant activity and together with RiboCeine, promotes a critical step in the production of glutathione. It also provides the natural source of caffeine which acts as a natural metabolic enhancer and supports mental alertness.
Rhodiola Rosea – an adaptogen shown to reduce symptoms of fatigue and improve mental performance.
Quercetin – a flavonoid antioxidant known to support energy levels.
CoQ10 – a powerful endogenous (made naturally in the body) antioxidant that resides in the mitochondria and is a vital component of the energy producing process of ATP. It helps to eliminate harmful free radicals produced during the ATP process.
Clean Cellular Energy1
Supporting Ingredients:
B Vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folic acid, cyancobalamin) – support various enzymes that help convert food to energy. B Vitamins serve as coenzymes that assist in specific metabolic processes to break down fats, amino acids and carbohydrates for energy.
Magnesium – essential in all energy dependent reactions that include the use of ATP energy. It serves as a catalyst in the creation of ATP from ADP. It is also a catalyst when ATP is used for energy by helping in the hydrolysis of ATP (the act of releasing the energy stored in the high energy phosphate bond).
Copper – plays an important role supporting the synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria, or the part of the cell responsible for energy production.
Chromium – an essential trace element that is needed for the metabolism of energy. Chromium works with insulin and assists cells to uptake glucose and release energy.

FAQs
What is ATP?
A- ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is your body’s most basic form of energy. ATP is produced in every cell and is the means by which our cells, organs, and by extension, our bodies are powered. ATP needs many different compounds or elements to be produced. MaxATP was designed with your body’s energy needs in mind and provides a comprehensive list of elements needed for ATP production which helps to provide a more sustained and consistent supply of cellular energy.
How is this energy drink different from others on the market?
A- MaxATP is focused more on providing your body with the elements it needs to produce sustained and consistent energy at the cellular level. Only MaxATP can provide RiboCeine™ which provides your body with the ribose it needs for ATP production and the cysteine it needs to support glutathione production to neutralize free radicals.
How does MaxATP support glutathione production in the body?
A- MaxATP features RiboCeine™, which effectively protects and delivers cysteine to the cell, enabling your body to produce glutathione more efficiently. Cysteine is a critical element needed to produce glutathione and is often in short supply in the body. Since it is broken down so easily during digestion, RiboCeine ensures that cysteine reaches the cell intact—available for glutathione production.
Can I take this energy drink with MaxGXL and Max N-Fuze?
A- MaxATP is designed to work synergistically with MaxGXL and Max N-Fuze and can be taken together.
Is this product based on the new science recently acquired by Max International?

Explanation of Glutathione in Energy Production
You’ve been told that glutathione increases energy on a cellular level. How does it do this? Since glutathione is not the actual fuel for the “engines” or “energy factories” of our cells, what part does it play in the creation of cellular energy? These are questions we would all like answers to, but not if they make us feel like we’re back in Chemistry 101! Hopefully, what you read below will provide a nontechnical explanation for these questions.
The Tiger in Your Tank Is Called ATP. It’s obvious that all cells must produce energy to survive. We know that the “gasoline” or “electricity” that powers our cells is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). If your car runs out of gas, it can sit for a while until you replenish the supply. Not so with our cellular fuel. Our cells simply cannot survive unless they have a continual, sufficient supply of “cellular gasoline” or ATP. So the process of creating fuel in each and every cell must go on constantly. A single cell may have a couple of hundred energy factories or cellular power plants called mitochondria or it may contain thousands of them. Your hard-working heart cells have been estimated to have 5,000 mitochondria each1! The complex process of turning nutrients into ATP in the mitochondria depends on many oxidation and reduction reactions.
Redox is the shorthand term for the chemical reaction where atoms are changed by either losing elections (oxidation) or gaining electrons (reduction).
The Process
Understanding the exact process of ATP creation didn’t happen until 1937. Hans A. Krebs finally figured out a metabolic pathway in the cells that explained how energy is created. There were many scientists who played a key role in understanding how this pathway worked, but because Krebs had the insight that the pathway was a cycle, the process was named for him and is usually called the Krebs cycle. You will also read of it as the “citric acid cycle” or the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) or occasionally, the Szent- Györgyi-Krebs cycle (adding the name of the scientist who mapped out many of the molecules and the sequence of reactions of the Krebs cycle). Since we are not doing Chemistry 101, describing this process could be as simple as saying it’s a metabolic dance of electrons being transported and transferred, through complex processes of reduction and oxidation. Remember that transferring (or grabbing!) electrons is also what starts the cycle of free radical damage.
The Role of Glutathione
Oxidation is like a flame, wonderful when harnessed, dangerous when out of control. When we are young, the oxidation necessary for energy production is highly efficient with only a small amount of oxygen not
utilized. Even this minor oxygen loss (1-3%) unfortunately results in the production of free radicals. And this is where glutathione comes in to neutralize those free radicals. A one-to-three percent oxygen loss causing free-radical production doesn’t sound too bad, does it? But say you are no longer 20 years of age and correspondingly, your cellular mitochondria are not as efficient as they once were. More and more free radicals are generated in the oxidative energy process and they are, in turn, damaging the mitochondria themselves. The powerful antioxidant, glutathione, quenches a number of free radicals, including the highly dangerous hydroxyl radical by donating an electron. Glutathione itself does not become a free radical even though it has given up an electron.
No wonder it is called the Master Antioxidant!
Now that it is quenched, the extremely harmful hydroxyl radical is halted from its real dirty work: generating other free radicals like peroxynitrite and the radicals of oxidized fats (lipids). Glutathione has just halted a literal cascade of free radicals by quenching the hydroxyl free radical. But you need to know just what a favor glutathione has done for you in preventing peroxynitrite production.
Peroxynitrite is truly pernicious!
Martin L. Pall, PhD, professor of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Science at Washington State University stated: “Peroxynitrite reacts with and inactivates several of the enzymes in mitochondria so that mitochondrial and energy metabolism dysfunction is one of the most important consequences of elevated
peroxynitrite.”2
Translation: When the mitochondria have suffered enough free radical damage as to become dysfunctional,
energy production is impaired. Your cells do not get the amount of energy they need to function properly. Your cells may function at a level below the optimum although you probably won’t feel it. There is yet one more free-radical mitochondrial consequence as a result of low glutathione levels that you “will” be aware of. Richard Van Konynenburg, PhD, wrote: “The resulting partial blockades in the Krebs cycles and the
respiratory chains in the red, slow-twitch skeletal muscle cells decrease their rate of production of ATP. Since ATP is what powers muscle contractions, the lack of it produces physical fatigue. It becomes chronic because GSH [glutathione] remains depleted.”3 You might think of free radicals as a band of marauders circling an oil tanker, preparing to hijack the precious commodity that fuels cars and trains and pretty much the entire Western world. Glutathione molecules could be considered a group of highly efficient bodyguards — handing out electrons and turning vicious marauders into mild-mannered bystanders.
Glutathione Praise from Dr. Keller
As you understand this intricate energy creation process, perhaps you will appreciate more a statement by the creator of MaxGXL, Dr. Robert H. Keller. Dr. Keller said that glutathione is “critical to cell functions such as the TCA (Kreb) cycle and then the respiratory chain that uses 4 molecules of ATP to generate 32 molecules of ATP.”
Is it vital for you to have those glutathione bodyguards on energy duty? Van Konynenburg certainly thinks so as he wrote, “GSH [glutathione] plays very important roles in maintaining mitochondrial function and integrity.”4 Perhaps it’s enough to remember that glutathione is there to assure that the creation of cellular energy is not hampered by free radical damage. While this is not by any means the only role glutathione plays in keeping your body running smoothly, it is a vitally important role. Now you have one more reason to appreciate Dr. Keller’s marvelous, patented product!

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!
Here’s to a very special and enlightening year! I hope that you are looking forward to 2010 as much as I am. Last year was a tough year for me, as were the previous 3 years. I lost my mother-in-law, my mother, my father and my 15 year old dog, Pepper. These last few years were my first time for facing death and trying to make peace with this phenomena of life…not very easy for me.
It has been very hard on my health, taking care of my mother-in-law, mother and father for the past 8 years or so. Stress does that to us many times over our lives. Eventually, we must take a hard look at ourselves and decide to focus again on what will best serve us for a good and healthy life.
That is the point where I am at this time and my optimism has kicked in again. I’m grateful for that and I’m also focusing on my spiritual growth, as well. I’ve decided to work with an energy healer and am looking forward to experiencing this opportunity for growth and better health. I will try to keep you updated on my progress and how this energy healing works.
In the meantime, I want to share again one of the most important “health breakthroughs” I’ve ever seen in my 40 plus years of researching and studying the health industry. If you google “glutathione“, you will find out how intensely important it is to your body and your health.
However, glutathione cannot be introduced to the body just by taking a pill, tablet, liquid or capsule supplement. It is destroyed in the stomach acid almost immediately. Finally, a doctor of renown, Dr. Keller, developed and formulated (with a composition patent, reserved for pharmaceuticals only) a glutathione accelerator, MaxGXL, which introduces the precursors needed by our bodies to manufacture our own glutathione.
Scientists call it the “Master Antioxidant”. Glutathione has never been able to be introduced into the body and recycle itself prior to this product. Doctors, researchers, and scientists have been looking for a way for a very long time to get glutathione levels in the body raised so that the body functions properly. Glutathione has been used intraveneously in ER for a long time for life-threatening health problems. But, of course, it is terribly expensive and you have to have it done over and over again because it doesn’t allow the body to recycle it and manufacture its own glutathione.
Glutathione is natural to the body; we are born with the ability to manufacture our own glutathione. But as we age, have illnesses/disease, take in toxins over the years from chemicals and pollution, our body’s ability to manufacture its own glutathione declines rapidly. This health product, MaxGXL, is the first scientifically-based with placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical and crossover studies to give the body what it needs to produce/manufacture its own glutathione.
I am including some links for you to check out, if interested, to learn more about how this all works. If you would give me your address, I will send you more information. Plus, you can Google glutathione and see more about all the studies that have been done.
Please feel free to call me anytime with questions. I would also be able to connect you with some doctors that you could talk to about this product, as well. There is a very unique and special vitamin/mineral supplement that supports the MaxGXL with additional support for manufacturing glutathione in the body; it is called Max-n-Fuze and has a nanotechnology delivery system.
My sister is taking MaxGXL, as I am and also my husband and youngest son. I have some wonderful friends and business partners who would be willing to share their personal testimony about this product and how it has helped them. I will also try to get a hold of some testimonies pertaining to your health issue and be more pertinent to your needs if you wish to learn more.
To learn about this new discovery that has been awarded a “Composition Patent” which is usually only given to Prescription Drugs, and to learn about this AMAZING product called MAX GXL….
First go to http://www.stevenkscott.com and watch the 5 minute interview with LARRY KING LIVE to know who Mr. Scott is…..
Then go to http://www.connieclark.max4u.com and click on a 14 minute information video with Mr. Scott talking about MaxGXL and World Famous Dr. Robert Keller ( a Triple Board Certified MD in Oncology, Hematology, and Immunology. Then click on Products, then MaxGXL for a wealth of information. Then click on Testimonials.

Journey through Alzheimers – My Mom
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Mom and her journey with Alzheimers. If I had known then what I know now, I believe that journey could have been so much easier. Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.
Mom’s greatest fear throughout life was that she would get Alzheimers like her Mom. I remember when grandma and grandpa lived with us for a while; one day grandma was so confused that she took off out of the house running down the street calling for grandpa. We all had to chase her and bring her back home. Finally, Mom realized that she couldn’t take care of her mom and dad; so grandma was put in a nursing home and grandpa went to live in a large house with other elderly folks.
Dad was struggling so much, trying to accept that Mom had Alzheimers. But it was near impossible for him to understand. She started repeating herself constantly and he would get so mad at her. She would start crying and he couldn’t ever get her to stop so I always went over then to rock her and calm her down.
I finally began looking for a senior type place that had enough security to keep her safe and also give her some things to do. She began going to a Total Longterm Care facility that provided the security and recreation for her several days a week. That really helped to give her a break from Dad and likewise, for him too.
I have a lot of pictures of her from that facility showing her at many different activities…gardening, making flour tortillas, making tissue flowers and other things. But she was always trying to escape from the place…it was difficult for the staff to keep her interested in things.
Her eating habits changed a lot and it was difficult to get food down her. I remember sitting at her kitchen table urging her to eat some snacks with me. I would take a bite and then have her take a bite. We kind of made it a game and it worked out sometimes. Mom was a tiny woman, less than a 100 lbs and under 5′. She started losing weight.
Interestingly, before Alzheimers, Mom was not a particularly “loving” person outwardly. She was a little harsh and opinionated; didn’t give hugs and was pretty fussy. She and Daddy were very involved in their church and did so much for others in that way. Mom taught a women’s Sunday School class, played piano and visited immobile church friends to help them out. Daddy was a music/choir director in many churches around the US, and overseas in Germany. Neither he nor Mom were particularly nurturing. BUT, amazingly, as Mom’s Alzheimers progressed, she became more and more loving, nurturing, laughing, giggling and I treasure those times with her. We became so much closer and had a very loving and caring relationship in her last years…..I am so grateful!
Be VERY CAREFUL in choosing a place for your loved ones to spend their last years if they need extra care. I will tell you more about that in my next MOM post. If I had known what I know now, I would have quit my job and brought my mom home to live with us. We had the worst experience at Julia Temple in Englewood, CO and I would never recommend that place for anyone. They, essentially, ended my mother’s life in 2 days. Be VERY, VERY CAREFUL!
Get your elder loved ones on the best health products possible because those last years can be so very difficult. This is the best health product, by far, that I have ever found to help everyone feel their absolute best and help to prevent disease/illness. I wish I had know of this supplement when I was caring for my Mom. Visit http://www.connieclark.max4u.com to learn more about it.
Blessings for Abundance and Health!
Warmly,
Connie

Did you know … need more energy, detoxify your body and strengthen your immune system?
Did you know glutathione is the most powerful, prevalent antioxidant in your body? Increasing your glutathione level will naturally increase your energy, detoxify your body and strengthen your immune system.
MaxGXL Dramatically Increases Intracellular GSH.
MaxGXL provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body’s own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL also aids in liver support, thus helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.
Increasing Age and Other Factors Reduce the Body’s Production and Utilization of GSH. Research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Research shows that GSH levels decline by 8% to 12% per decade, beginning at the age of 20. Levels of glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and environmental toxins. 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.
Supplements Containing Glutathione Alone Will
Increase The Body’s GSH Levels
NOT

________________________________________________
I can’t stress enough how important your glutathione levels are to your health and your aging. Disease/illnesses are building up in our bodies daily over the years and may eventually manifest in our body. I do not want to end my last years like my Mom and Dad with Alzheimers/Dementia/Cancer or my grandparents with Heart Attack and other illnesses. The quality of their lives in the end years was horrible and way too many people think they will be the ones to escape but with all the pollutants, toxic chemicals, pesticides, and I could go on and on, most of us will NOT escape.
Do yourself and your loved ones a HUGE favor and check out how to increase your glutathione levels (also helps to increase your DHEA)…WOW!

Connie
