Immunocal is a specially formulated protein derived from whey. It contains glutathione building blocks.

How does Immunocal work? The immune system is incredibly complex, but a major cornerstone relies on its ability to obtain a molecule called glutathione. Glutathione exists in every cell of your body and is essential for life and critical for health. This molecule is constantly being used up in dozens of your body's functions and is difficult to replace. Glutathione is your body’s master antioxidant, its chief detoxification enzyme and is literally food for the immune system. Immunocal is a natural source of the glutathione precursor cysteine for the maintenance of a strong immune system.

Many natural products are available that claim to help your immune system, but very few have undergone the rigorous testing and published human trials that Immunotec has accomplished over the years. Over forty published scientific and medical articles attest to its remarkable credibility.

Besides its ability to raise glutathione and all the benefits that come with it, Immunocal proteins have a very high BV (Biological Value).

Immunocal Platinum has all the goodness found in Immunocal with two additional components added: CMP™^† and RMF

CMP™^† (Cytokine Modulating Proteins)Cytokines are small biologically active proteins that act as signals in the immune system to regulate inflammation.^†CMP is a trademark of Glanbia LLC

With RMF (Redox Modulating Formula)

RMF includes a proprietary blend of citrate minerals, which help to lower acidity levels in the body and serve to support its natural pH balance.

RMF's inclusion of creatine helps to maintain proper muscle function

The science behind Immunocal

Living Healthier Through Natural Technologies

Article 3The last few decades have witnessed a major shift from the reliance on drugs to a demand for natural alternatives. What has spurred this change is an increasingly overburdened, expensive and often inaccessible medical system that has been so busy taking care of the sick, that wellness has been left to non-conventional medicine. More and more of us are now moving from a reactive to a proactive approach to maintaining health and well-being, and this includes lifestyle changes, exercise, nutrition and natural supplements.

Until recently, many medical professionals have been somewhat wary of natural supplements, worried about quality, consistency and efficacy of what was being sold to the public. In the world of science, it is research that represents the gold standard, and without the funding available to drug manufacturers, natural products have historically fallen short of the rigor involved in investigating a new medication.

Until recently...

Both in the United States and in Canada, federal agencies (the NIH1 initiative and Health Canada’s NHPD2) have taken strides to promote the use of natural products, but only if they meet the standards of validation through appropriate research.

Immunotec has taken full advantage of this opportunity, and with some ease. Immunocal, its flagship product, has been studied extensively with numerous medical and scientific articles written in peer-reviewed journals. Research on this natural substance already existed for over three decades.

Currently, people are looking for clinically proven, natural products that will help to improve health and help them feel younger and more energetic. You have the opportunity to gain tremendous benefits from the leader in the field of natural products, Immunotec and its principal product, Immunocal.

Improve Your Immune System and Optimize Your Quality of Life

Immunocal is a natural protein that addresses several critical factors affecting your quality of life. Immunocal can:

Increase your ability to fight off free radicals through optimizing you antioxidation ability

Strengthen your immune defenses

Help properly deal with pollutants and toxins in your body

Enhance your energy and sense of well-being

It is easy to explain how Immunocal does this.

What is Immunocal?

Immunocal is a patented supplement that in nature is most similar to mother’s milk. It is over 90% pure protein and has a biological value higher than any other protein supplement or food available. The term “biological value” (BV) refers to a measurement of how important any edible protein is to your body.

Taken daily, Immunocal will raise your body’s concentration of glutathione (abbreviated as GSH), a molecule referred to as “Your Body’s Most Important Protector”. Most individuals have never heard of glutathione, however given the huge amount of research publications on the subject and the large impact it will have in future health care, the term glutathione will shortly become part of our everyday language, the same way as we use the words “antioxidant” or “cholesterol”. To date, there have been over 80,000 published articles on glutathione in the medical literature.

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione (GSH) is the body’s own health ‘AID to Energy’– Antioxidant, Immune Booster, Detoxifier and Energy enhancer. This small protein, produced naturally in the body, supports these four crucial functions. In fact, your life depends upon glutathione. Without it, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to bacteria, viruses and cancer, and your liver would cease functioning from the accumulation of toxins.

The Roles of Glutathione

Medical science has described literally dozens of roles that glutathione plays in your body. However, the four most important roles of glutathione can be summarized by the acronym:

A I D = E2

These letters stand for:

Antioxidant

Immune support

Detoxifier

Energy

Let’s look at these four critical processes driven by glutathione:

A – Glutathione – “Your Master Antioxidant”

Over the past thirty years, advances in the study of antioxidants have grown to the point that a whole new branch of medicine has developed called “Free Radical Biology” which focuses on oxidant/antioxidant balance. These scientists have elaborated upon several hundred different disease processes where antioxidants play a vital role. The shelves of natural food stores and pharmacies are resplendent with a large array of different antioxidants offered. However, although these antioxidants including vitamin C and vitamin E are usually “natural”, they are not natural to your body. If you do not ingest these vitamins, they will not be found in your cells naturally. Given the importance of antioxidation in hundreds of different disease processes, one poses the question – “What antioxidant does the body manufacture to ward off these processes?” Glutathione is the most abundantly produced antioxidant in the body. In fact, the presence of this small protein is crucial for the functioning of all of the other antioxidants we know of, gaining the title of “Master Antioxidant”.

I – Glutathione – “Food for the Immune System”

Your immune system is constantly on the prowl for pathogens and foreign antigens—agents of cellular damage, toxicity and disease. These antigens include viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and even pre-cancerous cells. To neutralize these pathogens the body needs a ready supply of glutathione. If it doesn’t have enough, some of the invaders will get through, infecting the body and/or contributing to aging, long-term accumulative damage—even eventual cancer. We can’t avoid illness and aging altogether—although a few scientists are pursuing some age-old dreams—but by keeping our intracellular glutathione levels up we also keep our immune system on full alert and fully armed. Dr. Gustavo Bounous, discoverer of Immunocal, has focused on glutathione as support for the immune system. “ The limiting factor for the proper activity and multiplication of our lymphocytes (white blood cells) is the availability of glutathione”. Dr. Bounous’ research at McGill University has spawned countless other research papers worldwide examining this phenomenon.

D – Glutathione – “Detoxification System”

Hundreds of toxins are eliminated by the GSH enzyme system, including drug breakdown products, pollutants, carcinogens and radiation damage. It’s no surprise that GSH concentrations are highest in the liver, the body’s major detoxifying organ. We inhale and ingest natural and synthetic toxins every day of our lives and can’t possibly avoid them, especially in our technological times, our congested and polluted cities and with our bio-engineered food supplies. Experimental studies have shown that low glutathione levels lead to poor liver and kidney function, and result in unnecessarily large quantities of toxins circulating through the body. There, they continuously damage individual cells and organs. The list of toxins eliminated include cigarette smoke, automobile exhaust and heavy metals. Physicians regularly use drugs to elevate glutathione levels in critical illnesses like acetaminophen overdose and severe liver failure.

E2 – Glutathione – “Energize Yourself”

Our cells are like little machines, running 24 hours a day. Where does the energy to fuel this constant activity come from? The answer is quite complicated but science had identified tiny structures within our cells called “mitochondria” which serve as tiny batteries inside the cell. Like any source of fuel, inevitably burning and waste products are a result. The mitochondria literally burn up oxygen and as a result are prone to overload and damage and are limited in their ability to continue working unless these breakdown products like oxyradicals are removed. The major substance produced by the cell to keep these mitochondria “cool” and efficient is glutathione. This translates into more energy and more strength. Raising glutathione has become a focus for many studies from sports medicine to anti-aging for this reason.

What Causes Us to LOSE Glutathione (GSH)

Every day our bodies are exposed to factors that drain our levels of glutathione: stress, pollution, radiation, infection, drugs, poor diet, aging, injury and fatigue. These all contribute to glutathione depletion which, in turn, leads to cellular aging, disease and death. “Concern about maintaining one’s glutathione level will eventually be on par with other health maintenance issues.” says Dr. Bounous, discoverer of Immunocal.

Immunocal Can Fix the Problem

Immunocal is proven and patented to raise glutathione. It is a natural source of the glutathione building block called cysteine, for the maintenance of a strong immune system.

There are other synthetic ways in which glutathione levels may be raised, but the high level of side effects and short duration of action limits their usefulness. In contrast, Immunocal is extremely effective and has negligible side effects when used as directed. It is a protein isolate from milk, but has an insignificant amount of lactose (<1%); therefore, it is easily tolerated by lactose intolerant individuals.

Recognition

Immunocal is patent-protected worldwide and has several important high-level acknowledgments:

Awarded an NPN (Natural Product Number) issued by Health Canada

Listed in the U.S. Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR)

A must have for chemo treatments!! 

This review is from: HMS-90 Immunocal Platinum (30packs) HMS 90 Brand: Immunocal, 0.44 oz Each

I have been using this amazing product every day as recommended by a doctor friend since I was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer, peritoneal carcinamatosis and high grade carcinoma in June. My CA125 test was 4600 at diagnosis (normal range is 0 to 35) I had no side effects from 9 weeks of chemo. Had surgery October 7th, CA125 is now 34. I am at 4 of 9 weeks of chemo after surgery. Doctor is amazed at my progress and feels I will be in remission once my treatment is complete. They also said I'd lose all my body hair within 10 days of starting chemo. I still have all my body hair and just my head hair thinned but never all fell out. Still have eyelashes & eyebrows. I believe the immunocal platinum is what has kept me healthy throughout this ordeal.
