***Bioctive whey protein and its role in enhancing glutathione levels

Bio-active whey protein refers to a mixture of globular proteins that are recovered from whey, the liquid by product obtained during cheese production (Smilkov, et al., 2013) . The protein composition in cow milk is 80% casein protein and 20% whey protein. Whey protein makes up 10% of whey's dry weight. The protein is often made up of beta-lactoglobulin (65%), alpha-lactalbumin (25%), bovine serum albumin (8%), and immunoglobulins (Smilkov, et al., 2013) .

***Cortisol, Telomere Length, and Stress

In the 1920s, American physiologist Walter Cannon was the first to describe the "fight or flight" response wherein stress hormones prepare our bodies for battle, or give sufficient energy and speed for us to flee from danger (Cannon 1915). Hans Selye (1907-1982), however, is considered to be the father of stress research, and was one of the earliest scientists who published numerous manuscripts on stress, the hormone cortisol, and their impact on health and disease in the early decades of the 20th century.

***Adverse Metabolic Effects of Cortisol

Cortisol is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands in response to stress. Among its main actions in the body are the increase in gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate compounds), the suppression of the immune response, intervention in the metabolism of macronutrients, and decrease in new bone formation (osteopenia or osteoporosis). Cortisol has been used for many years in medicine to treat some diseases under the synthetic form of hydrocortisone. Cortisol levels tend to rise with age, and cortisol is the only hormone to do so.

***Cortisol –Death Hormone

Hydrocortisone, otherwise referred to as cortisol, is known to play vital functions in the body's response to threats. The glucocorticoid is primarily released to counter stress, and achieves that through a number of responses - increases blood sugar, represses the immune system, and increases metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

***The Death Hormone

Cortisol- the fundamental definition: Cortisol is a hormone produced and released by the adrenal glands of the human body during times of stress, fight or flight. People of all age and sex produce and release this hormone. Triggered by the Hypothalamus of the brain, this hormone prepares the body for fight or flight by increasing blood sugar, activating anti-stress mechanisms and suppressing other bodily functions. Presence of this hormone accelerates food metabolism and slows down bone formation. Who is at risk?

***Laminine, a freeze dried extract of raw organic eggs

Laminine is an extract derived from fertilized organic hen eggs at a critical stage of incubation (on the 9th day). The use of fertilized egg extracts in medicine and nutrition dates back to 1929, and scientific studies on this unique supplement have been published in numerous peer-review jou als. Laminine is fat-free and cholesterol-free, as it is a lyophilized (freeze-dried) undenatured extract of the whites of hen's eggs raised under organic or free-range standards in Norway, where salmonella is virtually non-existent.
