ColoPlus® IMCARE is a dry porridge powder based on bovine colostrum – a natural ingredient containing bioactive proteins and essential nutrients.
ColoPlus products are formulated to slow down and control the time required to empty the stomach, thus prolonging transit time of the bioactivities through the digestive tract, increasing the contact time of the bioactivities with the mucosal surface of the GI and local immunological response. Survival and resistance of the bioactive part in the GI tract also increases.
Bioactive immunoglobulins from colostrum are not absorbed by the body when administered orally but remain in the digestive tract, giving a local effect. There they attack food- and water-borne organisms that cause disease. ColoPlus® IMCARE is effective in preventing intestinal infections by first keeping the bacteria from attaching themselves to the intestinal wall, and secondly by destroying the bacteria themselves. Systemic effect is obtained due to the presence of growth factors, bioactive peptides, and micronutrients. No side effects have been reported.
Prolonged effect. During the studies a prolonged effect of ColoPlus IMCARE was observed for at least 4 weeks as CD4+ count increased. This prolonged effect makes ColoPlus IMCARE cost-efficient.
