Popular Supplement Declared Dangerous, Even Deadly
The dietary supplement 1,4-butandediol or BD, which is found in some body-building products, is being blamed for the deaths of 71 people and another 40 deaths are under investigation.
Also used as an industrial solvent, BD is promoted as a natural way to build muscle, improve athletic and sexual performance, reverse baldness and reduce stress, none of which has been proven.
''1,4-butanediol is toxic, addictive and potentially lethal,'' researchers write in the New England Journal of Medicine.
''Although the long-term effects are poorly understood, frequent use of 1,4-butanediol can result in physical and psychological addiction and potentially severe withdrawal syndromes.''
The Food and Drug Administration declared BD to be an unapproved drug and has ordered its removal from store shelves, but extensive marketing and rapid sales continue over the Internet.
BD is found in numerous products such as Thunder Nectar, Amino Flex, Liquid Gold, X-12 and N-Force, to name just a few, and may be listed on the label in one of three forms: tetramethylene glycol, buylene glycol or sucol-B.
Symptoms of overdose include combative behavior, nausea, incontinence, and abrupt loss of consciousness.

For a safe, proven, NSF certified, pharmaceutical grade supplement that has science and certified double-placebo testing, please visit my website at www.candacelea.maxgxl.com. Sports Max can help with recovery, strengthening, and energy and is fast becoming the premier supplement for all athletes, professional, amateur, and hobby. The article below explains its importance, but for the body stomach acids prevent the cells from absorbing glutathione. MaxGXL is a glutathione accelerator that helps the cells produce it naturally. Glutathione supplementation does not work.
Sports Enhancement
Many world-class athletes are discovering the importance of glutathione, which when maintained, gives them the edge over the competition. Increased glutathione levels provides athletes with increased strength and endurance, decreased recovery time from injury, less pain and fatigue and possibly an increase in muscle-promoting activities.
Athletes use glutathione (accelerators) for sports performance and recovery from their strenuous workouts. Up until very recently there was not a efficient way to get glutathione into our bodies other than intravenous (IV).
During workouts, athletes generate free radicals which in turn lead to muscle fatigue and poorer performance. Glutathione neutralizes these radicals and allows our bodies to recover faster.
