Gluta-DMG is a synergistic combination of two nutritional products, an
undenatured whey protein isolate and Dimethylglycine (DMG).
The special whey protein isolate represents proprietary technology.
It contains sub-families of bioactive proteins, such as lactoferrin, alpha-lactoalbumin
and serum albumin, which have high levels of glutathione precursors (building
blocks) as compared to other whey proteins and casein. It is efficacious
for immune system function and for producing a sustained cellular increase
of glutathione.
Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a naturally occurring intermediary metabolite
produced from choline and found in small levels in grains, seeds, and in
liver. As a dietary supplement, it supports circulatory, cardiovascular,
neurological, and immune functions as well as muscle recovery and endurance.
The human body produces DMG in very small amounts. Supplementing the
diet with higher levels of DMG greatly improves the nutritional environment
of the cell. Dimethylglycine has been found effective in supporting
immune system function and better utilization of oxygen at the cellular
level. Several U.S. patents have been issued for N, N-Dimethylglycine's
value and use in improving immunity and for benefiting cellular processes.
DMG reduces lactic acid build up in the muscle, thereby shortening recovery
time after strenuous exercise and improving endurance.
Research on the Special Whey Protein Isolate
Carefully controlled scientific studies performed since 1976 on this
special whey protein isolate, a by-product of the cheese industry, have
shown a 30% longer life span (in tests with mice), antioxidant support,
and a greater immune response upon foreign antigen challenge.
These benefits of the specially prepared whey protein isolate have been
shown to be linked to its ability to increase the intracellular synthesis
of glutathione (GSH), the master antioxidant and detoxifier found in all
mammalian cells.
On the Chemistry of Intracellular Glutathione
Studies have shown that feeding glutathione or its precursor, cysteine,
do not boost cellular glutathione levels. This is because of the instability
of cysteine in the blood (it readily oxidizes to cystine) and because glutathione
apparently cannot be transported intact across the cell membrane.
The whey protein isolate contains the dipeptide gamma-glutamylcysteine—which
is absorbed intact into the cell. The key limitation to the production
of glutathione within the cell is the reaction that combines cysteine
with glutamic acid to make gamma-glutamylcysteine.
Since the special whey protein isolate directly provides the cell with a
high level of gamma-glutamylcysteine, this rate limiting step is bypassed.
The gamma-glutamylcysteine then reacts with glycine to produce glutathione.
