Q: I have heard about Glutathione recently and how taking MXGXL would increase the levels of Glutathione. Will eating the Zone way help our body manufacture Glutathione?
A: Glutathione is a small peptide composed of three amino acids. I think you are referring to a product known as MaxGLX. This is sold by a network marketing company. When I went to the Web site to investigate the product, I was really not impressed by the ingredients. As I outlined in my book “The Anti-Aging Zone,” the Zone Diet can be viewed as both an anti-inflammatory and anti-aging diet because you are restricting calories without hunger or deprivation. This is the only proven way to retard the aging process.
