Protect Your Health
The pharmaceutical community has developed antibiotic after antibiotic to target an ever-growing group of bacterial pathogens, yet few medicines today work on viral infections.Viral diseases include colds and flu, chicken pox, hepatitis, measles, herpes, viral pneumonia, shingles, Epstein Barr virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), AIDS, and numerous others. There are also a host of intestinal viruses that cause diarrhea and other life-threatening symptoms. Now, more than ever, our bodies need powerful anti-viral and immune enhancing support.
In the last few years, colostrum and a number of its individual components have been studied for their powerful anti-viral and immune-enhancing properties.
Among the components of Colostrum studied are PRPs because they are able to help against bacterial and viral pathogens, not because of any specific antibody reaction, but because of the overall immune support they provide.
Proline-Rich Polypeptides also stimulate the body’s immune cells to produce cytokines: Immune- regulating proteins that regulate the duration and intensity of the body’s immune response.
In a 1998 study conducted at the laboratory of Virology, Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland, it was shown that when Proline Rich Polypeptide isolated from bovine colostrum were added to the immune cells found in the membrane lining the abdominal cavity and viscera immediately after virus absorption or one day before or after viral infection, infected cells were better able to inhibit virus replication.†
