For support during times of winter ills and chills, exposure to allergens, or to balance your immune system you could try a new product simply derived from mother’s milk – colostrum.
Developed by New Zealand expat Dr Andrew Keech, a world leader in the field of peptide immunotherapy and biotechnology, Pepticol combines brand new technologies with well known bovine colostrum, milk from the first days after calving.
Dr Keech’s patented extraction techniques isolate the Proline-rich Polypeptides (PRPs) - the active ingredients in colostrum, for an effective oral spray now available over the counter in most chemists and natural health outlets.
PRPs have the unique ability to support a balanced immune system, and provide immune harmony where needed. “PRPs are probably the most significant natural substances in the human body relating to the immune system,” says Dr Keech. “They are so important that they are the first ‘food’ we have as soon as we enter this world,” he said.
So while supporting the immune system to help fight winter ills and chills, Pepticol can also be used to help balance the immune system. PRPs can also support the healthy production of lymphocytes and T cells at times of exposure to allergens.
The ability of PRPs to support immune balance means that Pepticol shows a great deal of promise in providing support for healthy energy levels, stress levels and a good night’s sleep.
Well known New Zealand doctor and health commentator Dr Frances Pitsilis is one who is positive about the potential of Pepticol and has been quick to add it to her arsenal of recommended natural products.
“Because Pepticol is extracted from the most natural of compounds – colostrum, it is a product with huge potential and low risks,” says Dr Pitsilis. “Anyone requiring support at times of exposure to allergens, or requiring support for immune balance, could easily try it to see whether it could be of benefit,” she said.
Pepticol is now in store throughout New Zealand with the standard 150mls oral spray retailing for $39.90 RRP, Junior and Travel sizes (70mls) are also available.
