Garlic: Garlic has been shown to offer support for the immune system, as well as being good for the blood and circulation. It also has antioxidant properties, helping to fight the signs of aging inside and out.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is well known as a powerful vitamin and antioxidant for the body, and can give you all the immune support that you need. This vitamin can also help fight free radicals and improve the health of other bodily systems.

Echinacea: Echinacea has been used in alternative medicine for years for its natural immune supporting properties. This herb is shown to have the properties of a natural antibiotic, and when combined with other nutrients it can bring good overall health and immune support to anyone. It can shorten the duration of colds and the flu by boosting the immune response.

How will I benefit from MX Viral Shield?
Our formula is specifically designed to offer you all of the benefits of garlic and Vitamin C without the odor, which is going to help support your immune system in its battle to fight off common illnesses and signs of aging. These two ingredients are both very well accepted as aids to the body’s natural defenses.

Will I see immediate results?
While some people report a better feeling sooner than others, it generally isn’t going to be instant. You have to give the supplement time to build up the nutrients in your body and restore your immune system to a state of optimal health in order to see the best results.

Will there be side effects?
It’s not normal for you to feel any unpleasant symptoms, but if you do experience stomach upset upon taking this supplement, you can take them with a meal to avoid that in the future.

Can MX Viral Shield be taken with other medications?
Generally speaking, there are no interactions with MX Viral Shield. However, people who are taking prescription medications or who have serious health conditions should always discuss supplements with their doctor before taking them. If you are taking MX Viral Shield with other Maxalife supplements, watch the ingredients to ensure that you aren’t getting too much of any one ingredient. This supplement, like most, should not be taken during pregnancy or by women who are nursing.

Can MX Viral Shield kill viruses?
MX Viral Shield is not an antiviral medication, so it does not actually attack and kill viruses in the body. It should be used as a precursor to illness to help support a strong, healthy immune system so that the body can fight off illness and stay healthy for longer. MX Viral Shield is designed to support optimal health in the body, and is not designated as a treatment or cure for any condition.

What else can I do to support my health?
It is always important to ensure that you are eating a healthy diet and getting in some moderate exercise as part of your daily schedule. Making sure that your body gets the exercise and nutrients that it needs will also serve to improve your overall health and wellbeing.

Bio-Availability

When it comes to getting the best products for natural healthcare, you hear a lot about bio-availability. This is simply the degree to which nutrients are actually absorbed by the body so that they can be used accordingly by the body. At Maxalife, we focus on offering only the best and most natural supplements so that bio-availability is at its peak.

Your body cannot get the full benefits from supplements without being able to absorb all of the nutrients, which is why our MX Viral Shield is specifically formulated to offer the most natural products in their most basic form so that they are as effective and helpful to the body as possible. Some companies will sell ‘synthetic’ products claiming that they are better or will retain freshness longer, but the sheer fact of the matter is that synthetic forms of natural supplements are simply not going to be as utilized and appreciated by the body.

Nature Always Knows Best

Maxalife understands that nature knows what it is doing. We use our expertise to combine ingredients and substances that nature has created in the purest, most natural form available. Our goal is to combine the right products in the right balance to maximize health benefits and help people get the most out of life through supplementation. We don’t change what nature made because there is no improvement needed. Instead, we combine different natural ingredients to offer them in a formula that is effective and easily absorbed by the body, leading to maximum bio-availability in MX Viral Shield and all of the supplements that we offer.

Pharmaceutical Grade

MX Viral Shield might not seem like the best because you’ve heard of someone else selling ‘Pharmaceutical Grade’ Viral Shield or other supplements. You might be surprised to learn this:

There is NO such thing as a ‘pharmaceutical grade’ supplement.

Aggressive marketing has spawned this phrase and its popular use as a way to get people to invest in certain products or companies. The regulatory agencies involved in supplements around the world have no real ‘standards’ or ‘grades’ set out to monitor every single product on the market and there is no true claim that a product is ‘pharmaceutical grade’. Any company that tells you they have such a product is lying to get your business, and that’s not the kind of company that you want to work with.

Maxalife Exceeds Minimum Standards by Leaps and Bounds

Instead of trying to convince you that we sell a superior product by calling it something that it isn’t, we have worked hard to create natural, effective, high-quality supplements that are at a much higher standard than any specifications that are currently in place. The World Health Organization and U.S. FDA both have minimum expectations for supplements, but the reality is that they are so lenient and lack consistency that they are often insignificant.

Maxalife is committed to developing the purest, most natural supplements available, and you can trust that. You can check out all the information on our supplements to see just how fresh and pure they are. The reality of the situation is that Maxalife’s standards are far higher than those of the U.S. FDA or any other regulating agency because we know the value of good supplements and only want to give our customers the safest, purest, and most effective products available.

Proof Positive with Maxalife

We keep data on file for all of our testing and can gladly provide you with information from every supplement and every test to allow you to see just how serious we are about the purity and quality of our supplements here at Maxalife.

Hypocholesterolemic Effect of an Enteric-Coated Garlic Supplement

David Kannar, PhD, Naiyana Wattanapenpaiboon, PhD, Gayle S Savige, PhD and Mark L Wahlqvist, MD, FACN
Department of Medicine, Monash Medical Centre (D.K.), Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA

International Health and Development Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences (G.S.S., M.L.W.), Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA

Objective: To evaluate the hypocholesterolemic effect of an enteric-coated garlic supplement standardized for allicin-releasing potential in mild to moderate hypercholesterolemic patients.

Methods: A double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled intervention study was conducted in 46 hypercholesterolemic subjects who had failed or were not compliant with drug therapy. Each subject was given dietary counseling to lower fat intake and enteric-coated Australian garlic powder tablets with 9.6 mg allicin-releasing potential or matching placebo tablets.

Results: After 12 weeks, the garlic supplement group (n=22) had a significant reduction in total cholesterol (TC, -0.36 mmol/L, -4.2%) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C, -0.44 mmol/L, -6.6%) while the placebo group (n=24) had a non-significant increase in TC (0.13 mmol/L, 2.0%) and LDL-C (0.18 mmol/L, 3.7%). HDL-cholesterol was significantly increased in the placebo group (0.09 mmol/L, 9.1%), compared to the garlic group (-0.02 mmol/L, -0.9%), and no significant difference in triglycerides or in LDL/HDL ratio was observed between groups.

Conclusions: The study demonstrates that enteric-coated garlic powder supplements with 9.6 mg allicin-releasing potential may have value in mild to moderate hypercholesterolemic patients when combined with a low fat diet. Taken with other evidence, the efficacy of garlic for lipoprotein metabolism might require allicin bioavailability to be enhanced through the use of, for example, an enteric-coated dose form. If this is the case, the possibility remains that greater hypocholesterolemic efficacy may be evident at a higher allicin dose. Also noteworthy in this study was a small reduction in energy intake with garlic compared with placebo, attributable to reduction in fat, carbohydrate and alcohol intakes. This may also have contributed to the effects on blood lipids. This study suggests that garlic supplementation has a cholesterol-lowering effect, which may be mediated by direct action of a biologically active compound or compounds and in part through the effect on food and nutrient intake.

Garlic consumption and cancer prevention: meta-analyses of colorectal and stomach cancers1,2,3

Aaron T Fleischauer, Charles Poole and Lenore Arab
1 From the Departments of Epidemiology and Nutrition, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Background: Animal and in vitro studies have provided evidence of an anticarcinogenic effect of active ingredients in garlic.

Objective: The objective was to conduct meta-analyses of the epidemiologic literature on the association between garlic consumption and risk of stomach, colon, head and neck, lung, breast, and prostate cancers.

Design: Meta-analyses were conducted for all cancers mutually and separately for colorectal and stomach cancers in relation to consumption of exclusively raw garlic, cooked garlic, or both (RC garlic). Eighteen studies reported a relative risk estimate for RC garlic consumption and cancer risk.

Results: In the meta-analyses of colorectal and stomach cancer, the reference categories ranged from no consumption to consumption of 3.5 g/wk, whereas the highest categories ranged from any consumption to >28.8 g/wk. The average difference between the highest and lowest categories was 16 g/wk. The random-effects relative risk (RR) estimate of colorectal cancer and RC garlic consumption, excluding garlic supplements, was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.89). For stomach cancer, the random-effects RR estimate was 0.53 (95% CI: 0.31, 0.92). The heterogeneity among studies for the latter outcome (P = 0.0002) indicates the questionableness of the generalizability of this summary estimate. An indication of publication bias for all cancers combined is evident from a funnel plot of RC garlic consumption and cancer risk and from the results of the Begg and Mazumdar test (P = 0.049).

Conclusions: High intake of RC garlic may be associated with a protective effect against stomach and colorectal cancers. Heterogeneity of effect estimates, differences in dose estimation, publication bias, and possible alternative hypotheses (e.g., confounding by total vegetable consumption) preclude sole reliance on summary effect estimates.

Preventing the common cold with a garlic supplement: A double-blind, placebo-controlled survey

Peter Josling

Abstract
One hundred forty-six volunteers were randomized to receive a placebo or an allicin-containing garlic supplement, one capsule daily, over a 12-week period between November and February. They used a five-point scale to assess their health and recorded any common cold infections and symptoms in a daily diary. The active-treatment group had significantly fewer colds than the placebo group (24 vs. 65,P < .001). The placebo group, in contrast, recorded significantly more days challenged virally (366 vs. 111,P < .05) and a significantly longer duration of symptoms (5.01 vs. 1.52 days,P < .001). Consequently, volunteers in the active group were less likely to get a cold and recovered faster if infected. Volunteers taking placebo were much more likely to get more than one cold over the treatment period. An allicin-containing supplement can prevent attack by the common cold virus.

VITAMIN C DEFICIENCY AND WOUND HEALING
AN EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICAL STUDY
Thomas H. Lanman and Theodore H. Ingalls

SPONTANEOUS breakdown of a surgical wound in the absence of infection occurs with relative frequency in patients with the cachexia of cancer, in debilitated individuals, and in young patients; notably those who have some congenital anomaly of the gastro-intestinal tract. There exists in these patients a likelihood of ascorbic acid deficiency. Since the relationship of ascorbic acid to collagen formation has been clearly demonstrated, we have endeavored to reexamine the problem of noninfectious wound breakdown from the point of view of a possible specific relationship to vitamin C deficiency. Cases of frank scurvy are not of frequent occurrence even in patients of the age group treated at the Children's and Infants' Hospital in Boston. There is being disclosed at this hospital by laboratory tests, however, a far greater incidence of asymptomatic scurvy than hitherto could be recognized by the usual methods of clinical examination. The term "asymptomatic scurvy" may be defined as scurvy existing in a patient without characteristic symptoms, physical signs, or roentgenologic evidence during life, but in whom the histologic changes of early scurvy are demonstrable at autopsy, as is illustrated in the appended case report.

A meta-analysis of the effect of garlic on blood pressure

Silagy, Christopher A.; W. Neil, H. Andrew

Journal of Hypertension

Abstract
Objective: To undertake a systematic review, including meta-analysis, of published and unpublished randomized controlled trials of garlic preparations to determine the effect of garlic on blood pressure relative to placebo and other antihypertensive agents

Data identification: Studies were identified by a search of Medline and the Alternative Medicine electronic databases, from references listed in primary and review articles, and through direct contact with garlic manufacturers

Study selection: Only randomized controlled trials of garlic preparations that were at least 4 weeks in duration were deemed eligible for inclusion in the review

Data extraction: Data were extracted from the published reports by the two authors independently, with disagreements resolved by discussion

Results: Eight trials were identified (all using the same dried garlic powder preparation (Kwai) with data from 415 subjects included in the analyses. Only three of the trials were specifically conducted in hypertensive subjects, and many had other methodological shortcomings. Of the seven trials that compared the effect of garlic with that of placebo, three showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and four in diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The overall pooled mean difference in the absolute change (from baseline to final measurement) of SBP was greater in the subjects who were treated with garlic then in those treated with placebo. For DBP the corresponding reduction in the garlic-treated subjects was slightly smaller

Conclusions: The results suggest that this garlic powder preparation may be of some clinical use in subjects with mild hypertension. However, there is still insufficient evidence to recommend it as a routine clinical therapy for the treatment of hypertensive subjects. More-rigorously designed and analysed trials are needed.
