NUTRA MAXX GLUTA MAXX CAP 60/CAP

Benefits & Uses

Health Claims

Supports antioxidant defense and reduction of oxidative stress; supports skin health and brightness via glutathione; supports cardiovascular health via OPCs from grape seed and pine bark; alpha lipoic acid supports nerve health and glucose metabolism; contributes to the body's natural detoxification processes.

Common Deficiency Symptoms

Glutathione deficiency: oxidative stress, fatigue, weakened immune response, increased susceptibility to toxins; Alpha lipoic acid insufficiency: peripheral nerve discomfort, reduced antioxidant capacity.

Target Population

Adults seeking antioxidant support, individuals with high oxidative stress, those concerned with skin health and anti-aging, adults with metabolic or neuropathic concerns, individuals exposed to environmental stressors.

Scientific Evidence Level

Moderate

Onset Timeline

Antioxidant marker improvements may be observed within 4-8 weeks of consistent use; skin-related effects typically noted after 8-12 weeks.

Usage & Dosage

Servings Per Container

60

Upper Tolerable Limit

No established UL for L-Glutathione or OPC-based extracts; Alpha lipoic acid: up to 600mg/day considered safe for adults.

Absorption Enhancers

Taking with a fat-containing meal improves absorption of fat-soluble components; Vitamin C co-ingestion supports glutathione recycling; Alpha lipoic acid enhances intracellular glutathione regeneration.

Absorption Inhibitors

High-dose iron supplements may oxidize reduced glutathione; alcohol consumption depletes glutathione stores and reduces efficacy; smoking and diets high in processed foods counteract effectiveness.

Side Effects

Toxicity Risk

Low

Upper Tolerable Limit

No established UL for L-Glutathione or OPC-based extracts; Alpha lipoic acid: up to 600mg/day considered safe for adults.

Safety & Warnings

Children Suitability

Not recommended for children under 18 without medical supervision.

Interactions

Medication Interactions

Alpha lipoic acid may enhance the effect of antidiabetic medications and lower blood glucose - monitor blood sugar closely; glutathione may reduce the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy agents; grape seed and pine bark extracts may increase bleeding risk when taken with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs.

Supplement Interactions

Avoid concurrent high-dose iron supplementation as it may oxidize reduced glutathione. Vitamin C and E supplementation is synergistic. Alpha-lipoic acid may have an additive effect with other supplements that lower blood sugar, such as fenugreek and Panax ginseng.

Special Populations

Target Population

Adults seeking antioxidant support, individuals with high oxidative stress, those concerned with skin health and anti-aging, adults with metabolic or neuropathic concerns, individuals exposed to environmental stressors.

Children Suitability

Not recommended for children under 18 without medical supervision.

Storage & Patient Advice

SFDA Storage Conditions

store below 30°c

Patient Counseling

Take as directed on the product label; if unsure, ask a pharmacist/physician. Take with food to reduce GI upset. Because this OTC oral capsule contains alpha‑lipoic acid (25 mg), patients with diabetes or on glucose‑lowering therapy should monitor blood glucose and watch for hypoglycemia. Use caution with anticoagulants/antiplatelets or bleeding disorders (grape seed and pine bark extracts may have antiplatelet effects). Consult a clinician before use in pregnancy/breastfeeding or if receiving chemotherapy. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Store below 30°C in the original blister.

Science & Evidence

Bioavailability Form

L-Glutathione in reduced (active) form (GSH) is the biologically available form; Alpha lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble, enhancing intracellular antioxidant recycling; Grape seed and pine bark concentrates provide standardized oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) with high bioavailability.

Scientific Evidence Level

Moderate

Onset Timeline

Antioxidant marker improvements may be observed within 4-8 weeks of consistent use; skin-related effects typically noted after 8-12 weeks.

Food Sources

Glutathione: avocado, asparagus, spinach, garlic; Alpha lipoic acid: organ meats, broccoli, spinach, yeast; Grape seed OPCs: red grapes, berries; Pine bark: not a common dietary source.
