Beta Balance NAC MAX claims to boost the production of Glutathione in the body as well as provide other health benefits. It is a gluten free and vegan friendly formula which claims to contain antioxidant ingredients necessary for promoting the production of Glutathione as well as supporting brain and vascular health. The website for this product doesn’t provide many details about what ingredients are actually in the formula, so we had to go on our own fact-finding mission – never a good sign! What we found may surprise you. This formula does not actually contain any Glutathione at all! It only contains ingredients which help promote the natural production of Glutathione in the body. The reasoning for this is because Glutathione in supplement form is easily broken down in the stomach and so won’t be effectively absorbed into the bloodstream. However, there is a solution to this problem – combining the Glutathione with Phospholipids. Continue reading this review to see if this is the Glutathione supplement choice for you.
The manufacturer does not provide many details about this product, nor are there any reviews on the site to ascertain effectiveness. NAC MAX does not include Glutathione in its formula, but rather claims to provide the building blocks to promote Glutathione production in the body. The only ingredient mentioned on the site is N-acetylcysteine, though further investigation shows that the other ingredients are Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Selenium. The reasoning for only including these ingredients and not also including Glutathione is because Glutathione is broken down by gastric acids and so it won’t be easily absorbed into the bloodstream. While this is true, research has shown that Liposomal Reduced Glutathione (Reduced Glutathione combined with Phospholipids) is able to bypass the stomach acids and be absorbed into the bloodstream. It is unfortunate this ingredient is missing for better results. You will get the most effective results when this Liposomal Reduced Glutathione is combined with other Glutathione boosting ingredients.
While we were unable to find any reviews on the website, Amazon showed very mixed reviews. We were happy to see that the product comes with a money-back guarantee, however, it is only for 30 days.
There are no mentioned side effects with taking this product. As with any new supplement or diet introduced into your daily life, we always advise talking to your healthcare professional about possible contraindications of any pre-existing medical conditions or medications that you are taking. Supplements work differently for everyone and the effects vary between individuals so it is always a good idea to run any health changes with a professional.
NAC MAX seems to be a quality product to boost Glutathione levels in the body. We like that it is gluten free and vegan friendly. It appears to contain some good ingredients for promoting the production of Glutathione in the body, however, it does not contain any actual Glutathione. Including Glutathione plus these other beneficial ingredients to boost levels naturally, such as Vitamin C, would further enhance the benefits of the product for better results. The reviews we found for this product were very mixed. So we believe that with a product that includes all components (Glutathione, Glutathione-boosting ingredients, ingredients to increase absorption such as BioPerine® and Phospholipids), you will get better results than with this formula.
