Description

As people age, they become more susceptible to muscle deterioration and a declining immune system.^1,2 Fortunately, whey protein can have a positive impact on muscle construction and immunity due to its branched-chain amino acid profile (BCAAs) and naturally occurring lactoferrin and immunoglobins.^3-5

Life Extension’s Wellness Code Whey Protein Concentrate offers the following:

• Non-GMO whey protein concentrate
• Naturally high levels of essential branched-chain amino acids
• High-quality muscle building protein
• Easily mixes into water or milk
• Great taste! Available in both natural chocolate and natural vanilla flavors.

Due to its ability to help convert cysteine to glutathione, whey protein may have the ability to act as an antioxidant, reduce blood pressure, combat tumors, reduce blood lipid levels, treat viral and bacterial infections, and as a chelating agent. Many trials have indicated that whey protein may support the treatment of cancer, HIV, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and hepatitis B.⁶
