So exactly WHY is Immonocal superior to whey????

[Guest guest]

I'm reading this stuff from the Immunocal web page:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Immunocal/HMS 90 is a patented, highly concentrated, whey protein

isolate, which provides a good source of cysteine, an important cell

nutrient. The critical role of cysteine in the body is well

documented. Dietary sources of cysteine are limited and Immunocal/HMS

90 is the ideal cysteine delivery system.

Immunocal/HMS 90 contains less than 1% fat and lactose, making it

both suitable and desirable for all, even the most lactose-

intolerant. This highly refined, premium quality protein powder is

packaged in individually sealed foil pouches to ensure purity and

freshness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In all due respect, TradeWinds, (and you are a nice guy), I don't

really see anything different here from what I get from Costco for

about $10 a pound. (about $45 for a 2 kilo can). That stuff, too, is

highly concentrated cold microfiltered whey protein isolate. That

stuff too is a good source of cysteine. That stuff too contains less

than 1% fat and lactose.

So what's the deal? And why is the Immunotec website 90% MLM stuff,

and only 10% product information?

Again, in all due respect, until I see some actual numbers pointing

out how and why Immunocal is better than any other high quality whey

product, I'm going with the much cheaper route. And at 5x the price,

I would expect Immunocal to be 5x more potent too.

------------------------------

There is a product that is widely marketed in Canada, called ColdFX,

which is just now entering the US:

http://www.coldfx.com/

It is supposed to stop colds dead in their tracks. However, if you

manage to take the time to read the label, you will find that ColdFX

has one ingredient. Just one ingredient: Ginseng. Period.

But ColdFX is 5x more expensive than any other ginseng product.

Why? No good reason. No good reason whatsoever. But I suspect that

the same situation is going on with it as with Immunocal -- just a

lot of marketing hype.
