A different whey protein for everyone
Most of us get the picture of bodybuilders or annoyingly fit people in our minds when we think about whey protein. Here I want to talk about a different kind of whey protein which can be used by everyone, athletes included. I talked about bioactive whey protein in my article about glutathione. This specific whey protein is a great booster for the production of glutathione something that glutathione supplements cannot guarantee or produce. Let me remind you that maintaining high glutathione levels in your body is a synonym of solid health, vitality and exceptional physical and mental performance. Not many people know about what bioactive whey protein is and why it is such a unique product. I very rarely recommend something so specific to my readers but believe me this is state of the art; you don’t want to miss out.
For a start do not confuse bioactive whey protein with the whey protein that athletes and body builders take. The former is am ultra high quality product stemming from years of extensive scientific research and multiple clinical trials, the production of which alone requires 69 registered production patents, international (64) and in the USA (5). The latter is whey protein coming from milk using traditional pasteurizing and heating up methods which destroy the structural integrity of the milk proteins; the result is this powder that is rich in fragmented protein, a great general source of protein but cannot possibly induce other responses than supporting the recovering muscles of the athletes.
Now, as I said the production process of bioactive whey protein requires 69 patents. It is the product of research of the Canadian company called Immunotec and the specific product is called Immunocal. It is a great investment that took 10 million dollars and 18 years of research to be perfected. It has undergone multiple phases of clinical trials which have all confirmed that it increases serum and tissue glutathione levels, and is validated by extensive research which you will find at the end of the article for your own reference. Now, bioactive whey protein is highly concentrated milk serum isolate which is high in protein (90% protein by weight) and is lactose-free, carbohydrate and sugar-free, and fat-free. Bioactive whey protein shares many of the same immune promoting and enhancing properties of Mother’s milk.. Bioactive Whey Protein is not a prescription drug, but a powerful and unique patented un-denatured and highly bio-active whey protein dietary supplement that is loaded with glutathione precursors. It is the only non-prescription dietary supplement to appear in the year 2000 through 2005 Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR) for Prescription Drugs, although it is available without prescription! It has its own NDC (National Drug Control) number, and is reimbursable under Medicaid, Medicare, and by private insurance in many states.
Bioactive protein has a particular stimulating effect upon the immune system that is not the case with other whey proteins. The secret here is that bioactive whey has been shown to not only increase intracellular levels of glutathione following ingestion, but also significantly builds up the stores of this substance and its precursors inside the cells. This beneficial effect lasts for considerable periods of time after consumption. This special properties has to do with the concentrations of 3 bioactive and thermolabile (easily damaged by heat) proteins that are contained in the milk serum: serum albumin, alpha lactalbumin and lactoferrin. Since these compounds are thermo sensitive and can be damaged by heat (in excess of 140 degrees F) or excessive mechanical agitation, bioactive whey protein must not be cooked, heated, or placed in a steel-bladed blender. Therefore, in order to preserve the bioactivity of its serum albumin, α -lactalbumin and lactoferrin, bioactive whey protein has not been exposed to standard high-temperature pasteurization. Rather, it has been bio-filtered to remove bacteria, and subjected to patent-process low-temperature purification procedures to ensure its safety and purity.
As you can see we are talking about a state of the art product here. I cannot recommend it highly enough, it is truly amazing.
