HEALTH BENEFITS
ENDOCRINOLOGY
Provides a high concentration of BCAAs to help manufacture glutamine to fuel the immune system.
Helps enhance humoral (antibody) response to support immune health
Improves intestinal tract antibody responses
Excellent source of cysteine to enhance glutathione status and maintain and/or improve immune function and optimize immunity
May help cystic fibrosis patients maintain optimal glutathione levels to help counteract the negative effects of disease related oxidative stress
GASTROENTEROLOGY
Provide a protective, anti-microbial effect against ulcers and other gastric mucosal injuries, i.e. H.pylori
Source of bioactive components with anti-microbial and anti-viral properties to promote intestinal health
Rapidly digested and efficiently absorbed to help stimulate protein synthesis versus casein
Helps improve weight gain and improve glutamine status during and after periods of illness
A high quality source of protein that is easily tolerated in individuals with lactose intolerance (WPI)
SURGERY
Source of high biological value (HBV) protein and essential amino acids needed for cell growth and tissue formation
Gentle, high quality protein source to help improve the nutritional status of individuals in various disease states and post-surgery
May help increase intracellular glutathione levels and enhance immunity to promote healing and recovery following illness, surgery, etc.
ONCOLOGY
May help protect against the risk of cancer
More effective than soy protein in reducing both the size and number of breast and colon cancer tumors in animal studies
Helps enhance tissue glutathione levels to provide a degree of protection against the development and growth of cancer cells and cancer tumors
Enhances secondary humoral antibody response
Helps maintain muscle mass of people undergoing cancer treatment
ORTHOPEDICS
Source of bio-available calcium to promote bone health when combined with other dairy nutrients
Contains active components that help promote the growth of bone forming cells
CARDIOLOGY
May help improve cardiovascular risk factors: cholesterol (HDL and total), triglycerides, C-reactive protein, and hypertension
May reduce blood pressure in individuals with borderline hypertension through the inhibition of ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme)
HIV-AIDS
High BCAA and cysteine levels in whey protein may help to minimize the loss of lean muscle mass (muscle wasting) in HIV patients
Increase and restore plasma glutathione (a major anti-oxidant) levels in HIV patients
May help suppress viral loads and improve immunity in individuals with HIV
oluble and easily absorbed protein source for those with compromised absorption capabilities
Gynecology
Suitable for pregnant and lactating women.
Helps in improving the birth weight and growth of the babies. Recommended in IUGR (Intrauterine growth restriction) cases.
Also contains Arginine (Amino Acids) in its Natural form apart from essential Minerals.
Recommended for post operative recoveries.
