What is immunocal?
Immunocal is defined by the Physician's Desk Reference here:"Immunocal is a U.S. patented natural food protein concentrate in the FDA category of GRAS (generally recognized as safe) which assists the body in maintaining optimal concentrations of glutathione (GSH) by supplying the precursors required for intracellular glutathione synthesis. It is clinically proven to raise glutathione values."So Immunocal is a nutraceutical, or medicinal food, that raises your glutathione.
What can one do on the Immunocal website?
One the Immunocal website a person can watch videos with doctors explaining the product. There are areas of the site that tell one about the science behind the product. There is also a store to buy it.
Is it safe to drink immunocal when pregnant?
One view:Immunocal contains nothing but pure, concentrated whey protein. If you are drinking milk or eating yogurt during pregnancy, then Immunocal should be fine. Read the side of the box to confirm its contents and verify this answer.Another view:In addition, you may consult the Physician's Desk Reference Listing for Immunocal, which discloses contraindications, precautions, warnings, and adverse reactions. These categories are required for all PDR listings.Even though Immunocal is a food, it is considered a medicinal food or nutraceutical, and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. There are contraindications for certain individuals on this listing, but Immunocal is not contraindicated for pregnant women.In fact, Dr. Jimmy Gutman, who wrote "Glutathione- Your Key To Health", recommends glutathione augmentation, which Immunocal accomplishes, in his chapter on pregnancy, lactation, and childbirth. One of these reasons are glutathione's role in embryonic, fetal, and placental development. Another reason he recommends this is because many common complications of pregnancy coincide with low glutathione levels.
Where can you by Immunocal?

In Parkinson's Disease how effective is Immunocal?
Parkinson's Disease is a neurological disorder characterized by muscular tremors, stiffness, and weakness, resulting in slow movement and a shuffling gait.Immunocal is a patented and clinically proven glutathione enhancer. So your question may be more specifically, "Can raising glutathione levels with Immunocal help to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease?"Yes. The Physician's Desk Reference listing for Immunocal states that Parkinson's Disease is defined as a glutathione deficient state. Glutathione augmentation, which Immunocal accomplishes, addresses this type of deficiency.Additionally, Dr. Jimmy Gutman has written several bestsellers on the topic of glutathione. In Chapter 7 of his book, "Glutathione- Your Key to Health", he points to the role of oxidative stress in Parkinson's and that raising glutathione levels can have positive effects on patients suffering from this ailment.
What do you take to fight to help your body fight immune diseases?
Immunocal - The bonded cysteine found in Immunocal is the building block for gluthathione which is a natural occurring protein in our bodies. Gluthathione is produced in our cells and is the essential component of our immune system. It is the cell's most important antioxidant, a component of the immune response and a detoxifying agent in our body. For more information check out www.immunotec.com/candicem4life.
How long before you see or feel the benefits of immunocal?
Immunocal does one thing- it raises and sustains your glutathione. What does glutathione do? It is your body's major antioxidant, an immune system optimizer, detoxifier, energy restorer, and antiaging protein. So how long would a person take Immunocal before noticing that these things were going on in his or her body? These effects will start to take place immediately on a cellular level, but are often undetectable at first in the short term. For example, how many of us wake up in the morning and say, "Wow I can really tell my free radicals are being neutralized!", or "I really feel like I'm removing my toxins on a cellular level!", or "I can really feel the aging process in my cells slowing down?" Having said that, everyone is different. A person with low energy levels may notice within the first few days that their energy or sleep improves. Others may notice after a couple or even three months. I noticed in the second month, and have had sustained energy now for over 4 years as a result of continued daily usage. Someone else who is full of toxins may notice that their bowel movements have changed. Another person may notice that an ache or pain has gradually lessened or disappeared over time. Everyone is different and it's hard to say. Cellular damage takes years to accumulate, and raising glutathione begins to renew and heal your cells, but the damage is cumulative over time, and the restoration process works the same way- it is cumulative over time as well with continued usage. I encourage everyone to take Immunocal for two or three months before fully evaluating. Immunocal is not a vitamin, but it works like one. You don't take a multiple vitamin for one week or even one month, and expect that it's going to create some miraculous health improvement permanently in just one week. You take it every day for the rest of your life to lay a nutritional foundation for life. It's the same with Immunocal. Consider it daily food for your cells. If you stay on it for months, and years, keeping your glutatahione levels sustained on a daily basis, you should be able to look back on your health condition and see the long term effects, such as you now have more strength, energy and stamina than you did before, or you don't get sick as often as you used to, or your lipid profile or blood pressure has improved on your yearly physical, or something like that. Either way, regardless of what you notice or don't notice, Immunocal quietly does its job raising glutathione, repairing and renewing your cells each and every day, laying a foundation for optimum cellular health.
Does glutathione or Immunocal help to lower high blood pressure?
Indirectly, it can. First off, I will say that the causes of high blood pressure are many and not yet fully understood.However, one thing we do know from published medical studies is that inflammation and oxidative stress play a large role in the development of arterial plaque. When we take in fats, and there is a high amount of oxidative stress in the body, something called lipid peroxidation occurs that makes the fats sticky and rancid, and they stick to our arterial walls.This causes an immune response, and inflammation, as the immune system tries to rectify the situation. As the arterial opening starts to narrow due to the buildup of oxidized fats, the heart has to pump harder to get the blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, so oftentimes, blood pressure will go up.If you have high glutathione levels, you will increase your antioxidant mechanism to fight oxidative stress, and reduce inflammation as well, getting to some of the main causes of high blood pressure.In addition, one should eat a balanced diet, get regular exercise, and get plenty of sleep each night. In time, in conjunction with raising your glutathione levels, I have seen several people lower their blood pressure gradually over time without prescription medication.Please keep in mind that taking glutathione will not raise your glutathione levels and have this effect. You must take in the building blocks or precursors so your cells can make it themselves.
Is glutathione for Minors?
If you are asking if glutathione can be safely be taken by those under 18 years of age, the answer is yes.Glutathione is in every cell of your body from the day you are born until the day you die. In fact, regardless of your age, if you didn't have glutathione in your cells right now, you would not be alive.When you are breastfeeding as an infant, your mother's milk has the ingredients in it that are necessary for you to increase your glutathione production naturally.However, taking oral glutathione has no known effects, positive, or negative, other than lightening your wallet.The two most thoroughly studied ways of raising glutathione are with variants of the amino acid cysteine. One of these methods has the same ingredient to make glutathione that breastfed infants received while they were nursing, called bonded cysteine, and is found in the supplement Immunocal. This supplement is approved for all ages, including infants and children.The other most thoroughly studied method for raising glutathione is with a pharmaceutical drug called N-acetyl-cysteine, or NAC, and due to potentially toxic side effects, is not recommended for infants and children.
Is glutathione safe for breastfeeding?
Oral glutathione will not raise your glutathione values. However, you may safely take it if you are breastfeeding.If you would like to raise your glutathione levels, and you are breastfeeding, you can safely take the building blocks or precursors for raising glutathione. The breast milk you are giving your baby is very high in bonded cysteine, and so it would be safe to take bonded cysteine if you are breastfeeding.
What is glutathione?
