Colostrum is an exceptional nutritional substance, produced by mothers for their newborns, that supports and nourishes the immune system. It provides a perfect combination of immune and growth factors including immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), amino acids and other important nutrients. For centuries colostrum has been used by most cultures for healing and wellness. Now with the latest research and technology, quality colostrum can be produced with precision to ensure a pure and potent product.
What Makes Tegricel® Colostrum Different
All Tegricel® Colostrum comes from cattle raised in the United States of America and is produced from healthy, nutritionally-supplemented cows on USDA and FDA certified dairy farms. These cattle are carefully fed a scientifically-designed diet that contains the proper balance of legumes and grasses along with minerals and trace minerals to ensure consistently high potency colostrum.
Colostrum has been shown in studies to:
Enhance the Digestive System
Build Lean Body Mass
Support the Immune System
Improve Vitality and Athletic Performance
Stimulate the Normal Growth, Regeneration and Repair of Muscle
Repair Skin Collagen
Repair Bone Cartilage and Nerve Tissue
HPLC
High Performance Liquid Chromatography is a technique used in biotechnological research as well as for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry. Modern HPLC has many applications including separation, identification, purification, and quantification of various compounds. HPLC is used to perform the optimum analysis of compounds in each batch of colostrum to ensure efficacy.
RPF (Repair and Protection Factor)
A novel (patent pending) analytical method that allows for the evaluation of a product’s bioactive properties as it relates to the repair of damaged cells and the protection of healthy cells.
Tegricel® has an RPF Score greater than 3 times the leading New Zealand colostrum supplier and has an RPF Score greater than 2 times that of other leading colostrum products from Australia.
Components Overview:
Growth Factors: Proteins that bind to receptors on the cell surface with the primary result of activating cellular proliferation and/or differentiation.
Immunoglobulins: Also known as antibodies, their job is to neutralize antigens, activate complement and promote leukocyte-dependent destruction of microbes.
Interferon-y: Its functions are important in cell-mediated immunity against intracellular microbes. It is predominantly responsible for the antiviral activities of the interferons.
Interleukin-1: One of the most important immune response modifying interleukins. The predominant function is to enhance the activation of T-cells in response to allergens.
Interleukin-2: Promotes the proliferation and differentiation of other immune cells and potentiates apoptotic death of antigen-activated T-cells.
Interleukin-6: Principle function is to augment the responses of immune cells to other cytokines. It is also the primary inducer of the acute phase response in the liver.
Lactoferrin: Binds iron and competes with microorganisms for it. Found to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities.
Lactoperoxidase: Kills bacteria by oxidative mechanisms. When combined with hydrogen peroxide and thiocyanate, both of which are naturally distributed in human tissues, it forms a potent natural antibacterial system.
Lysozyme: Protects us from bacterial infection. It is a small enzyme that attacks the protective cell walls of bacteria.
Proline-Rich Polypeptide (PRP): Shown to support the thymus gland, and may help calm an overactive immune system and stimulate an underactive immune system.
