Immunotec's Published Studies
Scientific Validation behind Immunocal
This book examines the progress of Immunotec’s rich research history by presenting the ‘abstract’ (executive summary) of each published study relating to Immunocal
Oxidative Stress in Cancer AIDS & Neurodegenerative Diseases
Nutriceutical Modulation fo Glutathione with a Humanized Native Milk Serum Protein Isolates
Luc Montagnier held the title of Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) and also had a Ph.D. in virology. He was a prominent French virologist and researcher known for his significant contributions to the field of virology, particularly his co-discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In 2008 he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on the discovery of HIV. In Chapter 42 of his book Oxidative Stress in Cancer, AIDS, and Neurodegenerative Diseases, Montagnier focuses on nutritional immunomodulation and it's relation to glutathione synthesis. He conducted 12 years of research and studies using Immunocal and dedicated an entire chapter in his book disclosing the clinical results with Immunocal.

The Role, the Relevance and the Effectiveness of Immunocal
Introduction by John Molson, Research & Development
Protein represents the ideal delivery system for the amino acids - mammalian milk which is primarily whey. Think of it in terms of the most efficient delivery system - not the only delivery system
The sulfhydryl (thiol) group (SH) of cysteine is responsible for the chemical properties of the whole GSH molecule (L-gamma-glutamyl-Lcysteinylglycine). As systemic availability of oral GSH is negligible in man4 and because there is no evidence for transport of GSH into cells,2'3 GSH has to be synthesized intracellularly. Though the inflow of cysteine, glutamate, and glycine (components of GSH) may prove somewhat limiting under selected circumstances, numerous observations have shown that cysteine tends to be the rate limiting event in GSH synthesis.
However, free cysteine does not represent an ideal delivery system: it is toxic5 and spontaneously oxidized. Cysteine present as cystine-a natural delivery system. On the other hand, cysteine present as cystine (two cysteines linked by a disulfide bond) released during digestion in the gastrointestinal tract is more stable than the free amino acid: the disulfide bond is pepsin- and trypsin-resistant, but may be split by heat and mechanical stress.6
Thus, cystine travels safely in the body and is promptly reduced to the two cysteine molecules on cell entry.7
