Claims15
A non-toxic nutritional composition useful to increase glutathione production in a mammal thereby to enhance the immune activity of the mammal, said composition containing as essential active ingredients:
- a:
- a catalytic quantity of elemental selenium or a water soluble selenium precursor;
- b:
- from about 5% to about 95% of a whey product selected from the group consisting of whey protein concentrates and whey protein isolates containing from about 65% to about 85% protein which is from about 65% to about 100% undenatured;
- and
- c:
- from about 5% to about 95% by weight of colostrum;
- the percent by weight of each component based on the total weight of the composition.
