Company Profile for Proliant Health Ingredients.Proliant Health Ingredients specializes in the development of ingredients from natural sources for the human health and nutrition industry, including the dietary supplement, clinical nutrition Clinical nutrition The use of diet and nutritional supplements as a way to enhance health prevent disease. Mentioned in: Naturopathic Medicine , consumer health and functional food markets. We use exciting new technologies to isolate bio-active proteins and peptides that play vital roles in human health. The most well-known of these are immunoglobulins. Our ingredients are unsurpassed in innovation and quality, which allows them to be used in the most sensitive nutritional applications. ImmunoLin(R) is an immunoglobulin protein isolate which can be used for tablets, capsules, drink mixes, lozenges and bars. NutraGammax(TM) is a serum protein isolate suitable for drink mixes, bars, and various other nutritional products. The central role of immunoglobulin in providing immunological protection is very well established. Immunoglobulin, or antibodies, is also known to be the critical, bioactive component of milk or colostrum colostrum /co·los·trum/ (kol-os´trum) the thin, yellow, milky fluid secreted by the mammary gland a few days before or after parturition. co·los·trum n. that confers immunity to the neonate neonate /neo·nate/ (ne´o-nat) newborn infant. ne·o·nate n.

Immunity is based on the system's ability to launch a defense against such invaders. . This process of removing antigens is called immune exclusion. A recent study will make the industry re-consider perceptions on proteins and cholesterol. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study with the objective of examining the effectiveness of oral supplementation of ImmunoLin(R) on lipid indices in hypercholesterolemic humans (N = 52) was reported at Experimental Biology in 2004. Consumption of 5 grams per day of ImmunoLin(R) for just 3 or 6 weeks reduced both total and LDL cholesterol compared to baseline measures. The change in both total and LDL cholesterol was also greater than the change observed in volunteers receiving the placebo after 6 weeks. Thus, ImmunoLin(R) supplementation also appears to positively modulate major lipid indices associated with cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that when IGF-I IGF-I see somatomedin C. IGF-I Insulin-like growth factor I, somatomedin-C A polypeptide hormone structurally similar to proinsulin, synthesized in the liver and fibroblasts, giving fibroblasts a paracrine function; serum levels correlate with and TNF-a are added together, TNF-a greatly impairs the ability of IGF-I to promote protein synthesis. With the use of NutraGammax(TM), TNF-a is inhibited and IGF-1 is able to promote protein synthesis. The use of ImmunoLin(R) and NutraGammax(TM) to modulate the immune response is patent-pending. NutraGammax(TM) is a protein uniquely different from whey whey liquid residue from milk after the removal of cheese curds in the manufacture of cheese. An excellent protein supplement but difficult to handle in the liquid form, except to pigs maintained close to the cheese factory. Dried whey is easy to handle but processing costs are high. . It has a much higher molecular weight and has slow-release characteristics making a combination of whey and NutraGammax(TM) very complimentary. ImmunoLin(R) and NutraGammax(TM) are relatively new ingredients to the human health and nutrition industry with an expanding clinical base supporting their use. Because ImmunoLin(R) can positively effect immune function and lower cholesterol, it has tremendous potential in immune, digestive health and cardiovascular formulas. NutraGammax(TM) increases protein efficiency, increases lean tissue growth and reduces inflammatory cytokine Cytokine Any of a group of soluble proteins that are released by a cell to send messages which are delivered to the same cell (autocrine), an adjacent cell (paracrine), or a distant cell (endocrine). levels. Thus, increasing lean body mass, stronger immunity and faster recovery.
