Pro-IG

What is Pro-IG

• IgG is the main antibody isotype found in blood and extracellular fluid allowing it to control infection of the blood and body tissues,the most important of the immuno-globulins found in the body.
• Human colostrum contains 2% of IgG while bovine colostrum contains 8-25% of IgG.

Clinical Applications of Bovine Colostrum:

1. As Adjunct therapy in the management and/or faster recovery from neonatalpneumonia, dengue, neonatal sepsis and other related infections. This also takes care of upper respiratory tract infections, sinusitis and pneumonia. Due toanti - bacterial and anti-viral activity of bovine colostrum.
2. Enhanced Nutrition and Metabolic Activities. (Neonates, Infants, etc.)
3. Bovine Colostrum has also been used in treatment as well as prevention of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NS AIDS) induced gut injury; joint disorders like rheumomatoid arthritis has been found to be useful. This acts as an immune modulator, hence, useful in the auto-immune and allergic disorders.
4. Regeneration of villi tissues for better functionality. The growth factors have a lot of scope in the maintenance of growth in children. Due to anti-oxidant and fibroblast activation, the bovine colostrum has been used in various aging disorders as well as before and after surgical procedures.

What is colostrum?

Colostrum, a nutrient-rich fluid produced by female mammals during the 1st 24 hours of lactation, is loaded with immune, growth and tissue repair factors. It is a complex biological fluid, which helps in the development of immunity in the newborn. It contains significant quantities of complement components that act as natural antimicrobial agents to actively stimulate the maturation of an infants immune system.

What is Pro-IG and how is it developed?

Pro-IG contains Bioactive colostrum exclusively from 1st and 2nd milking, a product of the USA. Pro-Ig goes through a low heat process to avoid the denaturation of IgG, wherein Radial immunodiusion analysis (RID) is used to ensure the active IgG content of each batch.

Is Pro-IG safe for premature infants?

Immunoglobulin from bovine colostrum is safe and effectively reduces and prevents viral and bacterial infections in immunedecient subjects: bone marrow recipients, premature babies, AIDS, etc.

Is Pro-IG safe for infants with lactose intolerance and sensitive to milk proteins?

Yes, Pro-Ig does not contain casein, which is the primary cause of milk allergies. Lactose intolerance itself is a food allergen, and becauseProline-Rich-Polypeptides help modulate the interleukin levels in the body, this reduces the probability at an allergic response.
