Whey Protein Directly Boosts Immunity

Monday, January 25, 2010 - Byron Richards, CCN

A new study shows that whey protein helps front line immune troops move around better and gobble up invaders.  Whey protein helps keep your immune cells primed and ready for action.

The ability of whey protein to support the production of the key immune system antioxidant, glutathione, has already made it a potent immune support functional food.  This new study shows that it also enhances the function of neutrophils.  Not only does the whey protein help neutrophils fight an enemy better, it was also discovered that it helped your immune system recover and return to normal balance faster (homeostasis).  The ability to “reset” faster is vital to being prepared for the next invader.

The researchers concluded that whey protein extract “has immunomodulatory properties and the potential to increase host defenses.”
