Immunotec’s origin story began 45 years ago in a research lab, where medical researchers Dr. Gustavo Bounous and Dr. Patricia Kongshavn pioneered the development of a novel protein source that helped sustain glutathione levels in the body. Glutathione isn’t just an antioxidant—it’s considered the master antioxidant, playing a role in numerous chemical reactions in the body, detoxifying and repairing cells and metabolizing nutrients. Over its history, Immunotec has dedicated ongoing research to this critical antioxidant, exploring ways to increase its levels in the body and boost the immune system.

“Immune health is a complex, yet increasingly significant topic,” shared Immunotec Chief Executive Officer Mauricio Domenzain. “Companies that want to make an impact in this space must provide unique value with precision. What excites me the most is that Immunotec, the number one leader in glutathione supplement research, is perfectly positioned for this mission. We recognize the pivotal role glutathione plays, not only in immune health but also in overall wellbeing.”  

With over 78 global patents and 85 published studies, Immunotec has dedicated its research and development efforts to highlighting glutathione’s significance and impact in both immune health and overall wellbeing. It’s flagship product, Immunocal, is a specially formulated natural protein that is the only patented glutathione precursor supplement of its kind. This foundational product has undergone extensive clinical research and demonstrates a unique impact on brain health, the immune system, antibody production, detoxification, sports nutrition and recovery.

Beyond the original Immunocal formula and its applications, Immunotec offers additional products that enhance overall health, improve nutrition, help with energy and sleep and more. The complete Immunotec line is available through over 400,000 consultants in 14 countries across North, South and Central America and Europe.

When Mauricio Domenzain joined as CEO in 2017, he was eager to positively impact Immunotec’s culture and infuse his brand of optimism into the day-to-day operations.

“Happiness is an essential ingredient for success in life,” he shared. “When people are happy and having fun, they are more productive, creative and engaged. At Immunotec, our culture is defined by that and by a spirit of collaboration and genuine care to make a positive impact on those around us.”

For much of its history, Immunotec grew slowly and steadily out of the spotlight. But today, the energy rippling through the company is palpable, and consultants are even more eager to share. Whether this fresh excitement comes from new products and partnerships; the bolder focus on educating consumers about glutathione and immune health; or Mauricio’s charismatic leadership—it’s clear something new is happening at Immunotec.

“We are not inspired to be the biggest company, but to be the best,” he said. “The future is bright for Immunotec. We are gearing up for exciting endeavors, including a strong focus on current markets and elevating our brand’s presence. We are investing in technology, marketing excellence and innovation to ensure our products stand out. Keep an eye out for new launches, enhanced consumer experiences and further advancements in our commitment to science-backed wellness solutions.”

Immunotec extends its impact beyond product innovation through the Immunokids Foundation, a non-profit association established in 2022 in collaboration with its independent Consultants. The foundation is dedicated to providing help, support, and dignity to immunocompromised children worldwide, addressing issues such as malnutrition, disease, poor living conditions, and the lack of medical, educational, and psychological care.
