Who Needs Immunocal?

Immunocal originated as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), often used for its broad health-supporting benefits, particularly as a natural glutathione precursor. (See our page on "What is Glutathione?")

In the world of CAM, products are typically used alongside or in place of conventional therapies, and are most valued for their holistic, preventive, or supportive roles in health and wellness. 

However, Immunocal stands apart from most CAM products in two key ways:

1. Scientific and Clinical Validation: Immunocal has been the subject of numerous clinical trials and peer-reviewed studies, demonstrating its safety and efficacy. Its effects, especially in boosting glutathione, are backed by published scientific research rather than anecdotal evidence alone.

2. Recognition by Medical Authorities:

• Listed in the PDR: The Physicians' Desk Reference is a trusted guide for U.S. healthcare providers, typically reserved for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and select clinically proven natural products. Listing in the PDR means Immunocal’s data, formulation, and clinical claims have undergone medical scrutiny.

• Included in the CPS: Being featured in the Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties in Canada signals acceptance by the broader medical community, providing prescribers with dosing, safety, and efficacy details found for regulated products.
