Bio-Availability
Maxalife has a commitment to providing health supplements with the best possible bio-availability. Bio-availability refers to the rate at which nutrients are absorbed by the body. If nutrients are not absorbed well enough, they can be virtually useless to the body. People often discuss bio-availability as a critical part of choosing supplements and vitamins, and for good reason.
While our MX Liver Detox is ideally designed to offer liver health support and an overall balance in your body’s health, this would not be possible without the highest rate of bio-availability. We have specially formulated all of our products, including our multi-vitamins, to be the most effective in terms of absorption to ensure that your body gets the full support that it deserves from our supplements. While some companies sell natural supplements that are actually synthetic forms and others sell ‘sufficient’ natural supplements with moderate bio-availability, Maxalife is committed to providing only the best products with the best absorption rates for all of your health needs.
Don’t Mess with Nature
Nature always knows best, and we understand that. Our products are not intended to try to improve nature or make things work better or faster. We simply take pure elements and incorporate them into pure supplements that create combinations that will give you the health benefits that you need at a maximum level of effectiveness. No chemical process or special formulation with added synthetics could make your body more likely to absorb the nutrients from our products and we let nature do its job by providing the freshest, purest ingredients so that your body can maximize bio-availability with MX Liver Detox and other supplements that we have created.
Pharmaceutical Grade
This is a word that some companies use in an attempt to dupe people into actually thinking that there is something better out there. When you see advertisements or products that claim to be ‘pharmaceutical grade’, you need to beware. There is no such thing in the world of supplements. The best that you can get is a 100% natural, safe and effective supplement product. Marketers who are trying to aggressively corner the industry use words like this to entice people into thinking that they are getting something better than they might get anywhere else. The reality is that their products usually aren’t even the best supplements on the market.
At Maxalife, we are committed to helping people live full, healthy lives and all of our supplements are created with that commitment in mind. We use 100% natural ingredients that are pure and as fresh as possible so that you can get the most from your supplements. We don’t need to give them a fancy label or call them something that they aren’t because we create the safest and most effective supplements and stand behind every single product that we sell.
What about Regulatory Guidelines?
There are regulatory guidelines out there, but they are way too lenient and not nearly high enough to meet our standards. Maxalife is fully focused on raising the standards of quality in the supplement world, and you can trust that you are getting the best products available when you buy from Maxalife. Because of the largely un-monitored and inconsistent guidelines that are set forth by different agencies, we have given ourselves the demand of producing high-quality supplement products that go above and beyond the ‘regulations’ as they currently stand.
At Maxalife, we perform extensive testing to ensure that our supplements are the best that they can be and we keep all of our data on file so that we can keep track of how things are doing. If you every want to see just how serious we are about quality and purity, just ask.

Benefits and Clinical Studies
MX Liver Detox includes many ingredients that have shown promise in helping cleanse the liver and promote better support for adrenal function, the immune system, and digestion. Liver support comes from Silybum marianum fruit extract, commonly known as Milk Thistle, as well as other ingredients that have proven quite effective.
Clinical Studies
Effects of Silybum marianum on serum hepatitis C virus RNA, alanine aminotransferase levels and well-being in patients with chronic hepatitis C
Adam Gordon1, Daryl A Hobbs2, D Scott Bowden3, Michael J Bailey4, Joanne Mitchell1, Andrew JP Francis2, Stuart K Roberts1,*
Abstract
Background/Aims: ?ilybum marianum is an herbal preparation commonly used by subjects with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). The aims of this pilot study were to assess the efficacy and safety of S. marianum on serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA, alanine aminotransferase levels and well-being in patients with CHC.
Methods:?wenty-four subjects with CHC were enrolled into a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Subjects received 12 weeks of S. marianum (either 600 mg or 1200 mg/day) and placebo separated by a 4-week washout interval. Baseline biochemical, virological, psychological and quality-of-life tests were performed, with biochemical tests repeated monthly, and HCV RNA titer and quality-of-life and psychological assessments repeated at the end of both treatment periods.
Results:?eventeen patients completed the trial. Mean changes in HCV RNA titers, serum ALT levels and Short Form-36 scores were not significantly different for subjects on S. marianum compared to those on placebo. There was no significant change in mean State-Trait Anxiety Inventory State-Anxiety scores on S. marianum from baseline. Adverse events were similar with S. marianum and placebo.
Conclusions: ?. marianum is well tolerated in subjects with CHC, but does significantly affect serum HCV RNA, alanine aminotransferase levels, quality of life or psychological well-being in subjects with this condition.

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering herb utilized for its potentially protective effects on the liver. Although the mechanism of action is not fully understood, one explanation may be that it concentrates in the hepatocytes and competes with toxins for hepa-tocyte binding and penetration. Preliminary clinical evaluations of milk thistle for cirrhosis of the liver indicate potential benefits in healthier patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. However, major flaws in many of the studies make it difficult to draw solid conclusions. Milk thistle appears to be relatively safe, even with long-term use.
Inhibitory Effects of Silibinin on Cytochrome P-450 Enzymes in Human Liver Microsomes
Svane Beckmann-Knopp1, Stephan Rietbrock1, Roland Weyhenmeyer2, Ronald H. Böcker3, K. Tobias Beckurts4, Werner Lang2, Miriam Hunz1, Uwe Fuhr1,†
Abstract:
Silibinin, the main constituent of silymarin, a flavonoid drug from silybum marianum used in liver disease, was tested for inhibition of human cytochrome P-450 enzymes. Metabolic activities were determined in liver microsomes from two donors using selective substrates. With each substrate, incubations were carried out with and without silibinin (concentrations 3.7–300 ?M) at 37° in 0.1 M KH2PO4 buffer containing up to 3% DMSO. Metabolite concentrations were determined by HPLC or direct spectroscopy. First, silibinin IC50 values were determined for each substrate at respective KM concentrations. Silibinin had little effect (IC50>200 ?M) on the metabolism of erythromycin (CYP3A4), chlorzoxazone (CYP2E1), S(+)-mephenytoin (CYP2C19), caffeine (CYP1A2) or coumarin (CYP2A6). A moderate effect was observed for high affinity dextromethorphan metabolism (CYP2D6) in one of the microsomes samples tested only (IC50=173 ?M). Clear inhibition was found for denitronifedipine oxidation (CYP3A4; IC50=29 ?M and 46 ?M) and S(?)-warfarin 7-hydroxylation (CYP2C9; IC50=43 ?M and 45 ?M). When additional substrate concentrations were tested to assess enzyme kinetics, silibinin was a potent competitive inhibitor of dextromethorphan metabolism at the low affinity site, which is not CYP2D6 (Ki,c=2.3 ?M and 2.4 ?M). Inhibition was competitive for S(?)-warfarin 7-hydroxylation (Ki,c=18 ?M and 19 ?M) and mainly non-competitive for denitronifedipine oxidation (Ki,n=9 ?M and 12 ?M). With therapeutic silibinin peak plasma concentrations of 0.6 ?M and biliary concentrations up to 200 ?M, metabolic interactions with xenobiotics metabolised by CYP3A4 or CYP2C9 cannot be excluded.

Abstract
Silymarin, derived from the milk thistle plant, Silybum marianum, has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for diseases of the liver and biliary tract. As interest in alternative therapy has emerged in the United States, gastroenterologists have encountered increasing numbers of patients taking silymarin with little understanding of its purported properties. Silymarin and its active constituent, silybin, have been reported to work as antioxidants scavenging free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. Studies also suggest that they protect against genomic injury, increase hepatocyte protein synthesis, decrease the activity of tumor promoters, stabilize mast cells, chelate iron, and slow calcium metabolism. In this article we review silymarin's history, pharmacology, and properties, and the clinical trials pertaining to patients with acute and chronic liver disease.
Dietary supplements and herbal preparations in renal and liver transplant recipients.Foroncewicz B, Mucha K, Gryszkiewicz J, Florczak M, Mulka M, Chmura A, Szmidt J, Patkowski W, Paczek L.
Department of Immunology, Transplantology and Internal Diseases, Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland; Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland.
Abstract
Background: Dietary supplements (DS) and herbal preparations (HP) are advertised to be safe and have therapeutic potential. They are sold over the counter. Therefore, a considerable increase in the frequency of their use has been observed; for example in the United States one in four persons taking medicines uses DS. The use of DS and HP in renal and liver transplant recipients remains unknown.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to determine the proportion of patients who used DS or HP, as well as to assess their awareness of the benefits and risks related to ingestion of these products.
Methods: We enrolled 100 renal, liver, or combined renal and heart transplant patients into the study. They underwent a survey consisting of 14 multiple-choice questions, concerning demographic features, transplant-related data, and information about the use of DS and HP, including the frequency of use, the reasons for the purchase, the knowledge of risks and benefits, as well as the sources of information about these products.
Results: Among the 58 (58%) patients who admitted their use of DS and/or HP, 20 (34.5%) ingested more than one preparation. Among liver patients, 51%, and among renal, 44%, of patients took these products for a variety of indications. Vitamins, minerals, diuretics, gastrointestinal tract-regulating, and sedative herbs were chosen most frequently. While 27% of respondents alleged to have obtained the information on DS and HP from a physician, 14% were from a pharmacist, 9% from a friend, acquaintance or neighbor, 8% from an attached leaflet, 4% from an advertisement, and 4% from the internet.
Conclusions: A high proportion of patients use DS and HP. Most preparations were taken without medical consultation. Awareness of their toxicity or drug interactions was low. Therefore, a tailored education program should be proposed for this group of patients.

Effect of Lactobacillus supplementation with and without arginine on liver damage and bacterial translocation in an acute liver injury model in the rat

Abstract
In acute liver failure following hepatitis, toxic insults, or after major liver surgery, there is an increased bacterial translocation from the gut. This may explain some of the infectious complications seen in these conditions. To elucidate mechanisms and find possible preventive measures, we investigated the effect of rectal administration of arginine and probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus spp.) on bacterial translocation and the extent of liver failure. Sprague-Dawley rats were used and five different Lactobacillus strains (Lb.) reuteri R2LC, Lb. rhamnosus DSM 6594 (= strain 271), Lb. plantarum DSM 9843 (= strain 299v), Lb. fermentum 8704:3 (= strain 245), and Lb. reuteri (= strain 108) were administered rectally once daily for 8 days with and without 2% arginine. Acute liver injury (ALI) was induced on the eighth day by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine (1.1 g/kg body weight), and samples were collected after 24 and 48 hours. Bacterial translocation was evaluated by bacterial culture from portal and arterial blood, mesenteric lymph nodes, and liver tissue. Liver enzymes and bilirubin were evaluated in the serum. The bacterial load in the cecum and colon was determined and the liver histopathological changes were studied. There was no mortality at any time. The liver enzymes and bilirubin decreased in some of the groups supplemented with lactobacilli with and without arginine compared with the ALI control group. The incidence of bacterial translocation and the number of the translocated bacteria decreased significantly in some of the supplemented groups. Lb. plantarum + arginine administration significantly reduced the level of the released liver enzymes, hepatocellular necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, bacterial translocation, and the number of Enterobacteriaceae in the cecum and colon. Rectal administration of different Lactobacillus strains with and without arginine in an ALI model significantly modulates the extent of the liver failure and reduces bacterial translocation. Lb. plantarum DSM 9843 (= strain 299v) with or without arginine seemed superior to the other Lactobacillus strains. The beneficial effect of arginine administration alone indicates a possible role of nitric oxide and polyamines in this process, and the lactobacilli may execute their action via the same mechanisms or via bacterial antagonism and/or enhancement of systemic and intestinal mucosal immunity.
