Like everybody, I'm always skeptic when ever I hear about some miracle breakthrough in supplements for health.

I recently ran across an elderly couple were apart of some MAX International convention in SLC. They told me about the products they were involved in and how it physically changed their life. The moment I herd life changing, I always loose interest. However, what kept me listening was that "genuine" feeling these two gave. They very much believed in these products.

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't fall for these things easily. They were spewing a lot of reverbed spam. A lot of what they said about a couple other products were quite obviously just a rehash of what they were told about the products.

What caught me was when the wife talked about knee troubles she once had, until taking MaxGXL. She claimed doctors said she wouldn't be able to walk without accruing a bunch of main ever again. But MaxGXL fixed it. /shrug She seemed quite genuine.

They showed me the company magazine which talked about success stories, athletes that take the products and details about the different products. A lot of claims, but no footnote for more information.

The main site is: http://www.maxgxl.com/

The MaxGXL box does look familiar. I could swear I've seen it in Men's Heath before.

Anycase. Anybody care to comment about it? Knock it? praise it? Preferable criticisms. I've already read the biased magazine claiming these are a miracle breakthrough in supplements. Now I'd like to hear the other side of the story.

The only thing a "breakthrough supplement" actually breaks through is the manufacturers sales slump when enough chumps believe the hype.

There's nothing that product claims to do that a clean diet won't do better.

The couple gave you a sales pitch, as does the website. That product is sold through multi-level marketing, which means the couple had a monetary interest in spending the time with you to convince you to buy. They get a fee for every purchase downstream from them. I would take what they said with a grain of salt.

Anyone, or any website, can make a claim about health enhancement as long as the standard disclaimer is on the back of the product label.

Yeah. That's something I realized, too. That's why I took everything they said with a grain of salt. They didn't sell me on their N-Fuze product. However, the affection for the MaxGXL product was real. Well, let me say, if it wasn't, they sure fooled me on MaxGXL but failed to fool me on N-Fuze, the "new" product they wanted to push.

This is why I'm looking for criticisms. I want to hear the negatives from people that tried and failed. I've failed looking for any such remarks. Given out opinionated bloggers are, I find that difficult to believe. Unless MAX International's legal department is stronger than Scientology's, which I find hard to believe, too.

That's what I was seeing, too, in a way. Their N-Fuze product definitely made me go "hmm..." It's an overdose of nutrients, in a package format that claims to "absorb more efficiently." Sounds like a recipe for disaster. But again, I hadn't found any "disasters" on their keynote product yet.


I'm just trying to keep an open-mind on these things. Who knows? One of these days science may very well come out with that miracle supplement. If you immediately bash a product based to its business model, you may miss it. You just have to understand, due to its business model, many sources will be extremely biased. I'm trying to get around that biased view (on both sides) and really understand what this is.
