The Glutathione Story

Your life depends on glutathione. This small protein is produced naturally in the body and is essential for providing four critical roles: it is “food” for the immune system, it is the major detoxification enzyme in the liver, it sustains cellular energy and finally, it is recognized as your body’s “Master” antioxidant.

Without glutathione, your cells would oxidize, your body would fall ill and your liver would be overwhelmed by toxins.

Although this crucial natural substance that is found in every cell of your body has been known for over a century, it is only in the last few decades that an explosion of research has revealed its true potential. The key piece to the puzzle is how to raise your own glutathione levels most efficiently and safely. This has now been worked out and the clinical success well established.

1) An overview of the resilience factor with respect to to Immunocal
Immunocal supplementation increases the capacity of the individual / athlete to deal with oxidative stress by increasing glutathione status - thus making them more resilient to the stressors of training / competing / traveling etc.

With this increased resiliency we would expect to see less downtime due to illness and injury…

Every pro athlete is faced with the following on a daily basis – are you available to train and or compete.

Reducing downtime his a huge issue for teams across the board

Our papers on muscular performance as well as our experimental research demonstrating how Immunocal may improve resiliency in traumatic brain injuries (important given the recent literature on heading the ball).

2) Improves non specific immune response and how it can help you live better
Finally, unlike specific antiviral drugs or vaccines which may induce viral mutation hence resistance to therapy, the normalization of the lymphocyte glutathione levels and redox status through a cysteine delivery system represents a totally different approach by which the natural defense system is boosted
