Immunocal – Things you didn’t know!
Immunocal – Things you didn’t know!
Bet this information will surprise you!
Ask anyone in the know, how Immunocal works, and most likely the answer will be “Because it raises glutathione”. Quite true, and this has been the basis of dozens of published clinical studies. Immunocal’s ability to provide the building blocks for your body to make glutathione has been the key to our overwhelming importance. However, there are many other reasons why Immunocal is such a powerful product.
1) The nutritional value of the protein in Immunocal is beyond any other protein. Several tools are used to measure the importance of proteins in our diet. These include BV (Biological Value), PER (Protein Efficiency Ratio), PD (Protein Digestibility), PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Amino Acid Score). Just look at how Immunocal fares when looking at BV (insert graph below).
2) Immunocal is a rich source of BCAA’s (Branch Chain Amino Acids). Readers who are in to muscle development will recognize this term. These amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) are critical in muscle building and repair. Body builders will go out of their way to obtain these.
3) Immunocal provides Sialic Acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid). Sialic acid has recently been studied for its ability to improve memory, learning, and brain development. Immunotec currently is pursuing a number of studies looking at brain health.
4) GMP (Glycomacropeptides) have garnered a lot of attention in the obesity-control literature. GMP’s stimulate the production of CCK (Cholecystokinin), which is a small protein that is released after eating that regulates satiety. In simpler terms, after eating Immunocal, your appetite will be satisfied and you will have less urges to eat even more.
5) Specific proteins like LF (lactoferrin) are part of the family of glutathione precursors found in Immunocal. Lactoferrin itself has been studied for it’s natural antibiotic potential, and has been shown to decrease cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth. Quite important if you are concerned about dental health!
6) Another important protein fraction in Immunocal is Alpha-Lac (Alpha-Lactalbumin). This protein has been shown in human studies to increase to amino acid tryptophan which is the major precursor for serotonin. What does this mean? This has the potential to improve your mood if your are feeling stress!
7) Bioactive peptides (small protein fractions) found in whey have shown potential in small studies to help in high blood pressure control. Although this is still in a research and development phase, the peptides have been demonstrated to have ACE-inhibitory effects (Angiotensin-converting enzyme). This is the mechanism that several popular hypertension medications utilize.
What we’ve learnt over 40 years of research is that it is the mixture of all these components that all add up to the potency of Immunocal. As time goes on, there is more and more literature that will elaborate on the positive health benefits of remarkable product. Keep tuned!
