Ortho Molecular Products IgG Protect

IgG Protect is a concentrated (40%) immunoglobulin G (IgG) formula designed to support the immune system. The immunoglobulin and growth factors in colostrum can promote passive immunity, or the transfer of immunity from one organism to another, as bovine colostrum is considered a universal donor to human colostrum.1 IgG Protect helps to support the immune system within the upper respiratory tract. Consistency in potency and purity of colostrum extracts is a primary concern for clinicians. IgG Protect is manufactured using advanced filtration and purification techniques and provides 1,000 mg IgG per serving.

Overview

Colostrum is easily digestible and enhances the immune system. An optimally functioning immune system prevents unwanted toxins and molecules from disturbing the body’s natural homeostasis. Colostrum naturally includes immune factors, amino acids, nucleotides and growth factors which provide several benefits to human immune health by functioning against microorganisms.2 There are five main immunoglobulins, but the most common is IgG, which accounts for 75-80% of all serum antibodies in the body. IgG plays a major role in immune system function.

Broad-Range Specificity Immunoglobulins

Research has shown that IgG can be effective in neutralizing microorganisms found in the gastrointestinal tract. Colostrum not only includes high quantities of IgG, but also several factors that may positively impact the immune system. Many studies note the use of bovine colostrum to enhance passive immunity to aid with immune challenges, especially when entering by way of the gastrointestinal tract.
