What is the theoretical mechanism of action of GLUTATHIONE in Cancer and Immune dysfunction?
A. Natural killer (Immune) cells may become glutathione-depleted over time, and immune response weakens. Bioactive whey protein raises glutathione levels and strengthens the immune system. The immuine system is the body’s first line of defense against cancer, viruses, bacteria, etc. For those patients receiving traditional medical therapy for their cancer, bioactive whey protein supplies lactalbumin and has been clinically proven to raise glutathione levels. Glutathione and lactalbumin (a component of bioactive whey protein) have been associated with the strengthening of healthy cells and (paradoxically) the weakening of cancerous cells. In research conducted by C. Svanborg et al, lactalbumin was associated with apoptosis (or the programmed death) of breast cancer cells. Glutathione has been scientifically demonstrated to decrease cancerous cells’ resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs, while protecting healthy cells. This would theoretically allow a patient to respond better to chemothe
