Information For Practitioners
Background
This portion of the site is designed specifically for health and nutrition professionals who are involved in patient care. As professionals, you now have access to an entirely new protein category for use in nutritional or medical products, a category with bioactive proteins as it’s basis. The bioactive protein that is the basis of this category is immunoglobulin, rather than the customary proteins such as milk, casein, soy, egg, whey, collagen or meat.
Immunoglobulins are bioactive proteins that have been given orally to successfully improve immune function, growth, and health of young animals. More than 100 million young animals per year are fed diets supplemented with immunoglobulin as a natural means to improve health status. The biological basis for its efficacy, using measurable in vivo effects, in millions of animals provides a strong justification for its use in similar human disease conditions that involve both the gastrointestinal tract and the immune system.
Both plasma proteins and immunoglobulin, when administered orally through either food or water, has been found to lower pro-inflammatory cytokine production in the digestive tract*. Elevations in inflammatory cytokines are routinely observed in inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, involuntary weight loss, cachexia, and loss of lean body mass and many other health or disease conditions. Cytokine modulation may offer tremendous benefits to individuals affected by immune deficiencies, chronic diarrhea, and inflammatory disease.
