Re: ImmunoCal vs. ImmunePro vs. Lipoceutical, etc...

-- the pros and/or cons -- between some of these glutathione products

This was a post from an old email list. I don't think the author will

mind me reposting it here. - a Carnes

it is extremely important that the whey is 'undenatured' and the

reasons why, I will get to.

Immunpro,[immunoPro] scientifically, should prove to be much, much

more

effective than all the other whey protein products. That is because

the most important microfractions of the proteins in Immunepro are

available in much higher percentages than the other currently

available products. (I want to point out that I am not endorsing

Immunepro, nor have I ever used it myself, as it is not available in

Australia). If you examine the breakdown on the label

(https://www.immunesupport.com/shop/product.cfm?product__code=N056)

and covert it into percentages, Immunepro consists of close to 8%

Immunoglobulins (one of the very important microfractions) which is

around twice that of any of the other whey supplements. It also has

higher percentages of Lactoferrin and Bovine Serum Albumin, which are

all important in producing glutathione and boosting the immune

system. Dr. Cheney has apparently supported the idea that it is the

most powerful the immune building whey supplements in the results

that he has obtained on his patients.

Here is a site that discusses his success supplementing chronically

ill patients with whey protein

Unforunately most of the generic whey proteins are not highly

undenatured as to produce a product containing mostly undenatured

whey requires more expensive and delicate manufacturing techniques.

After much hunting I managed to track down a body-building whey

supplement known as 'body science whey protein', in a Health Food

Store in Australia that has a very similar profile of microfractions

to that of Immuneplex (another commerically available whey

supplement), and I can testify that it has made a big difference to

my health. It costs me $130 Australia, (so around $70 US) for 3

kilos, or (6.6 pounds) so it is extremely cost effective. (when

compared to immuneplex that costs $35US for 300grams!) To give you an

idea, here is a comparison of the two protein supplements, through

their microfraction profiles,

Immune Plex (commerically available immune building whey)

Alpha-Lactalbumin 23%

Beta-Lactoglobulin 51% (this is the easiest fraction to extract, and

should ultimately be lower than 50%)

Glycomacropeptides 18%

Bovine Serum Albumin + Immunoglobulins 5%

Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxadise & Others 2%

Body Science Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate

Alpha-Lactalbumin 15.47%

Beta-Lactoglobulin 44.63%

Glycomacropeptides 15.9%

Immunoglobulins 4.37% (or IgG, this is more than immuneplex!!!)

Bovine Serum Albulmin 1.37%

Lactoferrin 0.06%

Lactoperoxadise, profeospeptones and Others 14%

denatured protein 2%

As you can see, both protein powders have similar profiles, and the

body building whey actually has more IgG, and Bovine Serum Albumin

than the Immuneplex!

If you find some of the brand name supplements to be far too

expensive, I suggest looking through the health food store at the

body building wheys, and finding one that has an breakdown of the

microfractions on the label. Look for one that has percentages close

to the ones that I have listed above, ultimately with the highest

percentage of alph-lactalbumin, IgG (immunoglobulins), BSA (Bovine

Serum Albumin) and Lactoferrin as possible. Hopefully you can get

lucky like me, and come across a good quality protein supplement that

will save you a large amount of money!

Sorry that was such a long message!

Best wishes,
