Dr. Scott Nagasawa said that his father Herb recognized the value<br />

of glutathione very early on, but also recognized the limitation of<br />

the existing dietary supplements. He set out to find a way to vastly<br />

improve the means for increasing glutathione levels in the body.<br />

Much of Herb’s research centered on veterans who were prone to<br />

liver disease resulting from a high incidence of alcohol abuse.<br />

Developing RiboCeine TM<br />

Herb found that low glutathione levels was common among veterans<br />

with alcohol liver disease. He set out to find a solution. Knowing<br />

that the fragile amino acid cysteine was essential to the production<br />

of glutathione, he focused on finding ways to protect it during the<br />

crucial absorption phase. He felt that if you protect the sulfhydryl<br />

group on cysteine compounds and screen them for their ability to<br />

increase glutathione you would significantly improve its bioavailability.<br />

In two separate laboratories at the University of Minnesota and<br />

the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis he and his team started to<br />

synthesize dozens and dozens of sylfhydryl protected cysteine<br />

compounds and screen them for their ability to increase glutathione<br />

levels. Ribose, which is essential for the production of ATP, had the<br />

best oral capabilities. When combined with cysteine ribose was by<br />

far the most effective at increasing glutathione levels—thus the birth<br />

of RiboCeine. One word summed it up for Dr. Nagasawa, “Eureka!”<br />

This was an incredible breakthrough after years of dedicated work.<br />

The first clinical study testing RiboCeine was conducted on mice,<br />

since human clinical trials are cost prohibitive. To simulate the<br />

damage cause by alcohol abuse, the mice were given high dose<br />

acetaminophen, which in low doses is very safe. High doses,<br />

however, deplete glutathione and cause liver damage. Nine<br />

compounds, including RiboCeine and NAC (N-acetyl-l-cysteine),<br />

were evaluated to determine their ability to protect against liver<br />

toxicity. RiboCeine was the only compound administered where<br />

no mice died. The mice administered RiboCeine, in fact, showed<br />

a significant decrease in oxidative stress and no significant liver<br />

damage. RiboCeine was shown to be 300 percent more effective<br />

than NAC in the liver cell wall.<br />

A separate study showed RiboCeine’s effectiveness in significantly<br />

raising glutathione levels in all of the major organs of the body.<br />

Dr. Nagasawa chose <strong>Max</strong> because he felt this company was the<br />

best way to get his product to the corners of the earth. With the<br />

release of <strong>Max</strong>One, this remarkable compound is now available for<br />

human consumption for the first time in its pure form. The results<br />

have already been felt by thousands of <strong>Max</strong> Associates who are<br />

spreading the word about this revolutionary product. This is his<br />

dream and a legacy <strong>Max</strong> Associates are mission-bound to make<br />

a reality.<br />

“It’s all up to us what we do with one man’s legacy and<br />

vision,” Dave said. “It’s up to each of us to make the commitment<br />

to carry it out.”<br />
