Optimized Whey Protein 

THM Whey protein is Cross-Flow Micro-filtered (CFM). This means that the all important immune building benefits of whey are left intact. Whey Protein is a powerful weapon against viruses, specifically respiratory viruses.  It is rich in Lactoferrin. How is this important for the current health challenges we face? Lactoferrin is an excellent anti-microbial scavenging agent. It shows anti-viral behavior and also inhibits bacteria from attaching from the gut wall. Here’s an interesting quote from the following scholarly, scientific article.

“Most studies indicate that lactoferrin and its derived peptides are likely to interfere in the virus host cell interaction (Figure 1). For example it has been demonstrated that lactoferrin is able to bind both viral receptor and the viral surface protein VP1 on enterovirus (enterovirus 71 and echovirus 6), thus interfering with viral entry.”

So basically, lactoferrin interferes with a virus’s ability to enter our cells. This is a very important function during this current epidemic.

Lactoperoxidase is another protein fraction in whey that shows powerful microbial action, but in a different way than lactoferrin. It destroys a wide range of microorganisms and viruses by stimulating a series of enzymatic reactions.

Have you heard of glutathione? It is our body’s most effective immune builder and antioxidant. Whey is rich in Alpha-lactalbumin, and in that we find the treasure cysteine, which is the direct precursor to glutathione. So, when looking for a whey protein supplement, we must be diligent about searching for one that contains the highest levels of undenatured Alpha-lactalbumin – to help support our immune systems. CFM whey is the most undenatured whey available. Clean whey protein like this can be an important part of our defense arsenal against viruses – especially for our elderly or immunocompromised family members and friends.

Optimized Collagen 

Most of us think of collagen as a supplement for smooth skin or lustrous hair and it is but it is also one of the most important foods we can support our immune system with. It supports and improves immune function through various pathways but a major one is through its healing to the gut. It reduces inflammation and repairs the digestive tract therefore improving digestion. Our gut is known as the second brain of our body, as 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut lining as well as a whopping 70% of our immune system! Making sure we have a healthy gut, is not only crucial for our digestion, but also for our immunity, mood and energy.

Here is just one of the many studies on the positive immune support of collagen. In 2015 Japanese researchers published a placebo, controlled, double blind trial measuring the SIV (Scoring of Immunological Vigor) and other immunological, biochemical, physical, and subjective symptom parameters. They tested Japanese men and women between the ages of 30 and 59 with low SIV markers and complaints of overall fatigue. The study revealed that through 10 grams of daily collagen supplementation, over an eight week period, there was significant improvement in the comprehensive immunological status of humans. Those participants who took the placebo supplement did not show any immunological improvement.

Baobab Boost Powder 

This is nature’s remedy for a strong immune system. Baobab has more antioxidants than any other food on the planet. Antioxidants aggressively fight invading diseases and inflammation in your body. Baobab truly is the superfood of all superfoods and it is a whole food… no processing occurs other than to scrape the naturally dried fruit powder from the fruit stones. As a natural source of vitamin C, baobab is more easily digested by the body and generally much more bioavailable than manufactured vitamin C tablets, ensuring a greater uptake. It has ten times the vitamin C of oranges and it powerfully helps balance your blood sugar which is crucial for your immune function when there is a higher risk cold/flu and virus seasons. High blood sugars lowers white blood cell counts and  gives rise to higher risk of catching anything going around. Baobab has double the amount of magnesium and iron as spinach does (which is considered to be a high magnesium food). Magnesium is vital for the immune system… lack of it reduces Levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG). These are your immune cells on the front line of your body’s defense. Magnesium is  also vital for cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) reaction. studies have observed an increase in the level of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-, due to Mg insufficiency. Also higher levels of macrophage and neutrophil activities have been reported as a result of magnesium deprivation. Baobab is like nature’s vitamin and mineral all in one supplement. It supplies great amounts of potassium and calcium along with many other trace minerals.
