Preferred Label : Whey Protein Isolate-based Nutritional Supplement;
NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement composed of a lactose- and gluten-free whey-based protein
isolate and containing various vitamins and minerals, with potential immunomodulating
activity. In addition to whey protein isolate, this supplement contains phosphoric
acid, L-cysteine, ascorbic acid, vitamin E, zinc, ferrous sulfate, niacinamide, vitamin
A, calcium pantothenate, copper, manganese, vitamin D3, pyridoxine, thiamine, riboflavin,
folic acid, biotin, iodine, phytonadione, and vitamin B12. Upon administration, whey
protein isolate is broken down in the body into cysteine and glutamylcysteine. The
available cysteine allows cells to synthesize glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide containing
amino acids glycine, glutamate and cysteine, thereby maintaining and increasing intracellular
GSH concentrations. GSH plays a major role as an antioxidant, thereby protecting cells
from oxidative damage due to harmful substances such as free radicals and reactive
oxygen compounds. In addition, the supplement provides necessary vitamins and minerals
to the body, which may stimulate the immune system, help with wound healing and regulate
metabolic dysregulation.;
