MIP Colostrum contains both broad spectrum and specific factors that help our body fight off all sorts of viral, bacterial, fungal and allergenic invaders. MIP Colostrum supplements the body with the actual critical immune factors that the body needs to fight infection (Immunoglobulin, Leukocytes, Cytokines, Lactoferrin, Interferon, and PRP).
MIP Colostrum contains five types of specific antibodies. The letter Ig, which means Immunoglobulin, identifies them. These anti-bacterial and anti-viral factors in colostrums are known by such names as IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Most circulate in the blood and lymph systems ready to attack invading bacteria, viruses, allergens and fungi. IgG is the most prevalent of anti-bodies found in MIP colostrums. Their purpose is to help destroy invading pathogens.
Colostrum can even neutralize poisonous toxins and helps its expulsion out of the Immunoglobulin (A, D, E, G and M): Each performs its own function but as a whole they neutralize toxins and fight viruses and bacteria. PRP (Polyproline-Rich Peptides) is a master regulator of the thymus gland (in charge of producing T-cells that fight viruses and antigens). PRP balances an under active immune system and an over active immune system where the body is actually attacking itself (MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Sclera Derma and allergies).
If you suffer from an auto-immune disease or from frequent infections, colostrum may help. Try our colostrum supplements today.
In addition to immunoglobulins there are other substances in MIP Colostrum that have an immune function. Collectively they have been termed "Immune Factors". Their function is to complement the various functions associated with the immune response.
The immunoglobulins are a group of specialised bio-active proteins or molecules found in serum and other tissue fluids, including the milk of all mammals. There are five classes of immunoglobulin that are recognised in mammals Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin M (IgM), Immunoglobulin E (IgE), and Immunoglobulin D (IgD).
The function of these molecules is to bind to invading organisms and to activate specific actions that help to prevent infection and to rid the body of disease causing agents. They function in cell killing, inflammation and prevention of bacterial and viral attachment. The most prevalent class of immunoglobulin in all species is IgG. Immunoglobulins have an integral role in the immune defence system in that they form antibodies.
Immunoglobulins (Ig) are proteins (also known as antibodies) produced by the immune system. They attach to foreign substance and disease-causing microbes (such as bacteria) in the body to assist in destroying and removing them. There are five classes of Ig’s: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD and IgE, which play different roles within the body. In healthy people, IgA, IgG and IgM are the most prolific antibodies present. IgG antibodies are found in all bodily fluids and are the smallest but most common type of immunoglobulin found in the body. For this reason consumption of IgG is thought to assist in improved immune function and good health.
Because MIP Colostrum is 100% pure and undiluted, it contains a hgher percentage of IgG (around15%), than other supplements that are diluted with skim milk powder.
