Whey protein has been shown to help boost up glutathione production, one of the body's most powerful antioxydant.

We have two excellent brands of whey products at the Apothecary. One is the Body Elite whey powder form Sisu, used often as a supplement for preventive measures. Another excellent brand is HMS, formulated specifically to be well digested by people with serious health concerns, like cancer. Another type of protein which has gained a lot of interest is soy.
