Now that winter has shown its frosty face to people across Canada and the US, let’s talk about the top immune system boosters we sell on our site. This is good stuff. We promote it because we use Immunocal and other Immunotec products, and we’ve heard many testimonials from others about how these supplements have changed them for the better. Even though cold temperatures don’t give you the cold or flu, they put added stress on your immune systems and perhaps more importantly, coop you up with people who may be sick.

Immunocal: The Top Immune Enhancement Product

Immunocal (formerly known as HMS-90 in Canada) is a whey protein isolate that delivers cysteine: the biochemical precursor to the key antioxidant glutathione. Our bodies manufacture glutathione, but their ability to do it depends on the cysteine our metabolisms use as raw materials. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals: chemicals that damage our cells on the molecular level (see our article about antioxidants for a more detailed discussion). Taken as directed, Immunocal can prevent cell damage that inhibits our immune systems. Immunocal is used by people with compromised immune systems and athletes alike to maintain their immune systems even while under extreme physical stress. In many other cases, ordinary people have attested to feeling better while taking it, too.

Omega-3 with Turmeric

You can buy Omega-3 with Turmeric on its own or as a part of the Daily Essentials Pack, combined with our Vitamin and Mineral Supplement and Pure Milk Calcium.

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that modern diets provide low levels of, relative to the fatty acid Omega-6. If these fatty acids are out of balance, your body fails to take advantage of their natural anti-inflammatory and other immune enhancement properties. An Omega-3 supplement is important because it restores the balance between the two essential fatty acids. Turmeric contains the active ingredient of curcumin: a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that inhibits viral replication in laboratory studies.

Which Should I Get?

With its scientifically proven effectiveness, Immunocal is the most effective immune enhancement supplement we sell.  If you are older, an athlete or have a history of illness we especially recommend it. Otherwise, if you’re serious about supplements, this is for you.

Omega-3 with Turmeric is a gentle, healthy general wellness supplement, especially when you combine it with the other components of the Daily Essentials Pack. Omega-3 is an important dietary supplement that will ensure that you get the most out of anything you eat. If your main health focus is diet, you should consider it. Additionally, it interacts well with Immunocal, since they each hit different aspects of your total health.

Whatever you choose now is a great time to get serious about your immune system — because this is the season where it really gets challenged.

Much of the information around the Immune System Booster Immunocal (formerly HMS 90 in Canada) focuses on its benefits for individuals suffering from compromised immune systems and other illnesses, where it has demonstrated positive effects in multiple scientific studies. Many people also feel their general health improves after adding it to their daily routine. They feel more energetic and free from numerous small illnesses.

Our first experience with Immunocal - the event that made us want to share it with other people – didn’t start with illness. Be Well Or Else proprietor Dr. Catherine Owens suffered regular, severe muscle cramps in her calves during her regular running program. In 1998 she gave up running because nothing she tried could get rid of the cramps – until she started taking Immunocal. That’s when her calf cramps passed and she got back to running.

Everyone from elite athletes to fitness buffs report similar successes after adding Immunocal. (Take a look at an article about boxer Steve Molitor using Immunocal for an example.) The source of these benefits is glutathione: an amino acid that reduces muscle fatigue and shortens recovery time after a bout of physical exertion.  Multiple studies show that exercise depletes glutathione levels, so scientists studying human performance examined whether glutathione supplements would trigger athletic improvements.

Research has been promising but before Immunocal, there was an important problem to consider: Glutathione can only be effectively administered through injections. Our bodies naturally create it, so they aren’t adapted to absorb it orally. Fortunately, scientists have known for some time that our bodies build glutathione out of dietary cysteine. Immunocal is a bioactive cysteine supplement, so it gives us the raw material we need to create glutathione. When that happens, the results on athletic performance can be spectacular. One study of Immunocal showed a 13% increase in muscular work capacity and peak power in subjects who used it along with a fitness program.

You may not be an elite athlete or exercise fanatic, but Immunocal will benefit you as well. Maintaining muscular strength and endurance is one of the core elements of a healthy lifestyle, and grows especially important as we age, since it allows us to stay active and prevent injuries.  That’s why we use and recommend it, and why we’d like to offer you Immunocal at a discount.

Dr. Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute was one of those honored this year with the Noble Prize in Medicine. Dr. Montagnier earned the prize for being the primary discoverer of the HIV virus. Montagnier is also an important figure in the adoption of Immunocal as a nutritional supplement for HIV patients and other people experiencing immune system stress.

Ever since discovering HIV in 1983, Montagnier has been well-known as one of the world’s foremost authorities on conditions that can enhance or suppress the immune system. In particular, he’s investigated the role of antioxidants and nutrition in treating HIV. In this interview he discusses the prevalence of oxidative stress in HIV sufferers. In particular, he talks about his work investigating cysteine (the precursor to the antioxidant glutathione) as a way to slow the progression of HIV. Noting the depressed glutathione levels in HIV patients, Dr. Montagnier advocates cysteine supplementation as a part of HIV treatment. Immunocal provides this cysteine supplementation, which is why it’s at the heart of so many of these investigations.

Accordingly, in 1997 Dr. Montagnier was one of the editors of Oxidative Stress in Cancer, AIDS and Neurodegenerative Diseases, which was based on a conference on the role of free radicals in a variety of illnesses. The book records important work demonstrating Immunocal’s effectiveness in treating depressed glutathione levels in AIDS and cancer patients. Read an excerpt here.

This research paved the way for a general understanding of Immunocal’s antioxidant and immune enhancement effects. These apply to people with serious chronic illnesses but they aren’t the only ones who benefit from increased glutathione levels. Stress and environmental factors can depress the immune systems of people who are fairly healthy otherwise. That’s why Immunocal can work for you. Try Immunocal today and see for yourself!
