What to know about immunocal
Immunocal is the product the rest of the Immunotec range is built around, and it does one specific thing: it supplies bonded cysteine, the building block the body uses to make its own glutathione.
Glutathione is produced by the body itself rather than absorbed whole from food, which is why a precursor matters more than a supplement of glutathione. Cysteine is the limiting building block, and it is fragile: ordinary processing destroys it. The patented preparation behind this whey protein isolate exists to keep it intact.
A box holds 30 single-serve pouches, one per day. The powder is fat-free and sugar-free, and it is generally tolerated by people who avoid lactose. It has been the subject of published research and is accepted as a food supplement by both Canadian and European regulators.

Common questions about immunocal
How do I take it?
Empty a pouch into water or another cold drink and mix gently. Avoid blending at high speed or adding it to anything hot, because heat and shear damage the protein structure the product depends on.
Why a precursor rather than glutathione itself?
Glutathione taken by mouth is largely broken down in digestion. Supplying cysteine lets the body make its own, which is the route this product takes.
How long before it is worth judging?
Give it consistent daily use over a month or more. Check the current label on the official product page before ordering, since formulations are updated periodically and the label is always the authority.
