Breakthrough in Horse Health Care ImmuSyn™
contains GlutaSyn®, a unique milk
serum protein isolate with nominal amounts of maltodextrin
for increased palatability. GlutaSyn was developed over
fifteen years of rigorous, peer-reviewed research. Made
under stringent quality controls with advanced low-impact
ultrafiltration technology, ImmuSyn is an all-natural
product that concentrates essential benefits found only in
fresh mother’s milk. This milk serum isolate has been
extensively tested in studies exploring its impact on
immune system activity, muscle metabolism, longevity, and
antioxidant support. It has been evaluated in successful
Phase I, II, and III clinical trials, and has earned three
U.S. Patents and one Canadian Patent. Researchers continue
to explore the exciting potential of this breakthrough in
human clinical trials and immunological experiments with
horses and laboratory animals.
GSH and Cell Defense The
benefits of ImmuSyn are due to a unique property of raw
milk serum; its ability to support the synthesis of
cellular glutathione (GSH), the body’s master
antioxidant and detoxifier. Milk serum supplies generous
amounts of glutamic acid plus cystine bound in specific
undenatured proteins and peptides that improve its
delivery to the cells. Like the raw milk serum from which
its made, ImmuSyn even supplies the rare GSH-precursor
gamma-glutamylcystine. Glutathione is found inside every
living cell, where it protects against oxidative stress
caused by damaging free radicals. Medical science is now
giving GSH a great deal of attention. Each year, hundreds
of papers on GSH are published in such diverse subjects as
surgery, nutrition, trauma care, immunology, and oncology.
GSH is a useful indicator of the progress of several
diseases, and scientists report that the level of GSH in
the cells, and its relationship to oxidized GSH (GSSG),
often closely reflects the overall health of the cell
horse’s immune system, life is one long battle against the
endless attack of billions of viruses, bacteria, molds, and
toxins of all descriptions, as well as injury, inflammation,
and other insults. The lymphocyte cells supply the brains
and much of the brawn for the immune response. These cells
are especially important in controlling viruses, but their
activity generates huge numbers of free radicals that damage
immune cells and other tissues. GSH’s antioxidant power
appears to be the key to sustaining the life of these cells.
Researchers report that GSH levels of the lymphocytes
predict their health and longevity. They find that the
activity of the immune system may relate closely to
intracellular GSH levels and the individual’s overall
health, attitude, and capacity for work. ImmuSyn's only
ingredient, GlutaSyn, is patented to deliver unique and
perfectly targeted nutritional support for these vital
Fundamental Nutrition ImmuSyn’s
support of GSH production goes far beyond immune response.
GSH is also critical for protection of energy release and
ion transport, for detoxification in the liver and the
cells, for keeping other antioxidants in their active
states, protection of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and
detoxifier within many cells.

do horses get their GSH? At the
beginning of life, Nature provides mammals and birds with a
special GSH-precursor, called gamma-glutamylcystine (GGC).
GGC is the direct precursor of gamma-glutamylcysteine, the
“first 2/3” of the GSH molecule. Infant mammals get this
dipeptide from their mother’s milk. Some GGC is present
(at much lower levels) in the raw white of birds’ eggs.
Since these are the only two food sources of this nutrient,
after weaning or hatching most animals must produce GSH
internally from amino acids in their food. ImmuSyn provides
horses of all ages with undenatured proteins and dipeptides
of mother's milk, including GGC, the unique GSH advantage of
is needed to make GSH? GSH is
composed of three amino acids, so it is classified
chemically as a tripeptide. It contains glutamic acid,
cysteine, and glycine. Glutamic acid, or glutamate, occurs
in many foods and is heavily used by the body to make other
amino acids for protein building (transamination). Glycine
is the simplest of the amino acids. Glutamic acid and
glycine are usually available for GSH synthesis. Cysteine is
more likely to be in short supply, and its bioavailability
is usually the key factor in deficient production of GSH. A
key limitation to GSH production is the enzyme-driven
reaction that combines glutamic acid and cysteine to make
gamma-glutamylcysteine. ImmuSyn helps the horse bypass this
step with natural serum albumin-bound GGC.
Way to Boost Cysteine Most of the
cysteine in the body is produced from the more common amino
acids methionine and phenylalanine. Unfortunately,
increasing the dietary levels of these amino acids does not
substantially increase GSH production in the cells. Most
attempts by researchers to increase GSH production have
involved boosting the supply of cysteine. However, cysteine
by itself is unstable. It rapidly autoxodizes into cystine,
a dipeptide that combines two molecules of cysteine in a
do horses need more GSH? It’s
not always possible to predict when your horse will
encounter a need for increased GSH production. The unique
GSH nutrition of ImmuSyn can help the cells’ capacity to
make GSH on demand. When oxidative stress increases, the
cells need more GSH to maintain oxidative balance and
adequate protection of vital biomolecules.

scoop (13.5 grams) twice daily for up to one month. Feed 1
slightly rounded scoop daily for maintenance. Increase
feeding proportionately according to body weight in excess
of 1,200 pounds. Horses under extreme stress may benefit
from 2 or more scoops daily.
