Description

Scientists have known for years that certain biological components of whey protein (including lactoferrin, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, glycomacropeptide, and immunoglobulins) have a beneficial impact on the immune system. Life Extension offers a specially designed whey protein isolate, using proprietary production methodology, that has been shown to support healthy immune function, protect against free radical attack, and help maintain lean muscle mass.^1-5 Using a cross flow microfiltration technique, it is possible to produce a high-quality, 98% undenatured whey protein isolate that acts as an immune stimulant and retains all the important subfractions, such as lactoferrin, a strong antioxidant with immune-stimulating properties.^6-7

Whey protein:

• contains a high concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine, which play an important role in maintaining healthy muscle function
• is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine, which support a healthy immune response through intracellular conversion to glutathione
• provides potent antioxidant activity
• supports healthy cardiovascular function by maintaining healthy blood pressure and lipid levels that are already within a normal range
• promotes protein synthesis and muscle growth

This product contains whey protein isolate from cows not treated with growth hormone (rBST). The whey protein isolate is made using a process known as Cross Flow Microfiltration, which produces an isolate that is 90% protein, 98% of it in the bioavailable undenatured form, and retains all important subfractions in their natural ratios.

Allergy Warning: Contains milk.

Warnings:

• If pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, consult your physician before taking this product
• Keep out of reach of children
• Do not exceed recommended dose
