Fibromyalgia/Glutathione Connection

Fibromyalgia/Glutathione Connection


I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 4 years ago and I have been seeking natural alternatives to relieve the symptoms. There are several things that I have found to help relieve the symptoms. They include exercise, diet, and the use of supplements.

I’m always on the look out for supplements that help give me some relief of the symptoms Fibromyalgia causes. I discovered through my research there is a link between low glutathione levels and Fibromyalgia. Most people don’t know what Fibromyalgia is so I’ll give you a quick description of what Fibromyalgia is.

Fibromyalgia is a stiffness and pain syndrome involving muscles, connective tissues (tendons, ligaments), bursae, and joints. It is also characterized by severe fatigue that is unrelieved by sleep because often people with Fibromyalgia don’t get much, if any, stage 4 (delta) sleep. Delta sleep is the “healing” phase of sleep where repair of bodily tissues takes place. It is considered an autoimmune disorder and is usually treated by a Rheumatologist.

You can’t increase glutathione levels by simply taking extra glutathione. The body doesn’t absorb it properly. You have to include supplements that help to increase the production of glutathione in your body. Some of the supplements are N Acetyl Cysteine, L-glutamine, and Cordyceps. Max GXL has those supplements list plus a few others that help with liver support.

I’ve found that for myself I have more energy when I work out. That is a big improvement for me. Before, I would struggle to get through walking just a mile. Most days I can now do 2 miles. Because my fitness level is improving, I have been able to lose some weight.


I’m not saying that Max GXL is the cure for Fibromyalgia. What I can tell you is what increasing glutathione levels has done for me as a person with Fibromyalgia symptoms. If it can do for you what it has done for me, wouldn’t that be great?

If you want more info about Max GXL, go to our website, fill out the form, and I’ll get back with you.
