What is the difference between colostrums and whey protein?
Colostrums has practically no cysteine molecules, the substrate needed for the intracellular production of glutathione. Colostrums is composed primarily of immunoglobulin and some lactoferrin – at least during the first 26 hours of production. As far as we know from experiments and clinical trials done in Germany, colostrums has shown no effect on the immune system due to the fact that the mechanism of action on the immune system is via stimulation of the glutathione synthesis. The fact that glutathione precursors in the immunoglobulin fractions are almost non-existent explains this lack of effect. On the other hand, GSH Complex® contains substantial amounts of thermolabil proteins that are rich in cysteine and glutamylcysteine, and are known precursors (building blocks) of glutathione. The replenishment of the glutathione in the lymphocytes determines the intensity of the immune response. Glutathione optimizes the proliferation of antibodies and lymphocytes thus destroying oxiradicals
