Are there any side effects associated with Immunocal bioactive whey protein?
A. Bioactive whey protein increases serum and liver glutathione levels. When liver glutathione levels rise, the liver is able to more effectively detoxify the body (which is a beneficial function of bioactive whey protein). Some people (especially those who have been exposed to high levels of environmental toxins) may have a mild temporary reaction to these mobilized toxins as the liver is removing them from storage in body fat. Typically, reducing the dose of bioactive whey protein will allow these temporary side effects to quickly disappear. Bioactive whey protein is composed of the same basic proteins that are found in human breast milk, and has the same side effect profile as mothers’ breast milk. Because bioactive whey protein is a milk protein, persons who are mildly allergic to milk proteins may experience minor gastric distress from bioactive whey protein. This gastric distress usually disappears if you reduce the dose.
