Colostrum Whey Boosts Immunity

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.An extract from colostrum whey rapidly improved immune defense mechanisms in humans in a study conducted by NIS Labs.

A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over human clinical pilot study found consumption of a bovine colostrum whey extract Immunel, manufactured by Sterling Technology Inc., rapidly improved activation and function of immune cells participating in anti-bacterial and anti-viral defense mechanisms.  This included improvement of phagocytic activity and immune surveillance by natural killer cells.  Effects reached statistical significance between 1 and 2 hours after consumption in a within-subject analysis comparing each study participants response to product versus placebo.
