It is important to first of all understand that it is our body’s own GSH that helps in so many disease conditions. Free radicals are being implicated in many diseases and illnesses. GSH, being our own Master Antioxidant, is the best and most effective antioxidant to take care of the free radicals in our body. Our defense cells, lymphocytes, are dependent on GSH for their proper function and replication ((Immunology 61:503-508, 1987). Therefore, in order to optimize our immune system, we must first of all optimize our GSH. The highest level of GSH is in our liver. It is important to keep our GSH levels high to eliminate toxins, pollutants, drug metabolites and radiation damage.
The AID (AID) functions of GSH are very important for well being. GSH has to be produced by our own body cells as the raw form in terms of pills or powder will be totally destroyed during digestion. Immunocal® does not contain GSH but has been proven to provide the effective natural precursors or building blocks for our cells to manufacture GSH. Hence, the importance of Immunocal® lies in giving our body sufficient raw materials to make GSH ourselves, so that our immune system is always optimal.
