  1. List of Ingredients

    • According to Immunotec, the active ingredients in Immunocal Platinum are whey protein isolate, creatine, potassium citrate, calcium citrate, sodium citrate, magnesium citrate and citric acid.

    Whey and Creatine

    • Whey protein is found in the watery portion of milk when making cheese and it is used as a bodybuilding supplement in many different health products. It absorbs into the blood stream quickly and is considered a good supplement after intense workouts. It may also have some benefit for weight loss. The whey powder in Immunocal is made from fat-free organic milk. It takes 125 gallons of organic milk to make one box of Immunocal. Creatine is an essential compound in the skeletal muscular system and its dietary use has been shown to promote muscle growth.

    Potassium and Magnesium

    • Potassium citrate is a form of potassium supplement readily absorbed by the body. Potassium is important for proper function of organs, tissues and cells. It helps regulate proper muscle movement and strength. Potassium has been found to reduce blood pressure. Magnesium is a mineral used by the body for liver function, calcium absorption, nerve maintenance and proper heart rhythm. It is also important in allowing the body to properly use enzymes.

    Calcium Citrate

    • Calcium citrate is absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream and functions as a supplement to the body's calcium needs. Calcium is essential for maintaining metabolic processes and for healthy bones and teeth.

    Citric Acid

    • Citric acid and sodium citrate are used to provide metabolic stability for basic energy processes in the body. Citric acid is part of a biological energy cycle, which allows humans to convert food to energy.
