Benefits of Whey Protein Powder for Cancer Sufferers

Being diagnosed with Cancer must be a traumatic and emotional time for both the

sufferer and their relatives and friends. Treatment is ever advancing, with

drugs, Radiation therapy and Chemotherapy just some of the ways the medical

world is fighting against Cancer. Radiation therapy and Chemotherapy however do

have their side effects on a patient. These can include: Fatigue, nausea,

sickness, anemia to name but a few.

Nausea and sickness can in turn lead to a lack of appetite and the individuals

nutritional intake can suffer. Protein is part of this nutritional intake and

whey protein can be of great benefit to cancer patients. It is a high source of

protein, easily available to the body and more importantly in this circumstance

it is easily digestible for the patient.

As mentioned on the home page, whey protein is abundant in amino acids. One such

amino acid is Cysteine. Cysteine can raise the levels of the antioxidant

Glutathione. Levels are also raised within Lymphocytes, which help fight

infection, which can help when immune systems are weakened by Chemotherapy.

In addition, high Cysteine levels can inhibit growth of some cancer cells.

Findings presented in 2003 showed that women with the greatest levels of

Cysteine had a 56% lower chance of developing invasive breast cancer than those

with the lowest levels. Risk of Colon cancer may also be reduced as Cysteine has

been proved to reduce the production of particular cells lining the colon.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are taking regular medication or treatment please discuss

with your medical practitioner first so they are aware you are taking

supplements. Under no circumstances should you replace any medication you are

taking for your treatment with whey protein powder or any other protein

supplement.
