PRPs are signaling proteins with amazing adaptability for immune modulation, considered to be the most important constituent in colostrum. Minimum levels of these components are verified by laboratory testing.
L-Glutamine
L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is its greatest user.
L-glutamine is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including gut health and repair. While it doesn’t directly repair microbiome damage, it can support the healing process and help restore the balance of the microbiome. Here’s how L-glutamine may contribute to microbiome repair:
Intestinal barrier function: L-glutamine is a primary fuel source for the cells that line the intestinal tract. It helps maintain the integrity and function of the intestinal barrier, which acts as a protective layer against harmful substances and prevents them from entering the bloodstream. By promoting a healthy intestinal barrier, L-glutamine supports the overall health of the microbiome.
Mucosal cell regeneration: The cells that line the gut mucosa undergo constant turnover. L-glutamine provides the necessary building blocks for the regeneration and repair of these cells. By facilitating the growth of healthy intestinal cells, L-glutamine supports the restoration of the gut lining, which is essential for a well-functioning microbiome.
Immune system modulation: L-glutamine can influence immune cell function and promote a balanced immune response. A properly regulated immune system helps maintain a diverse and balanced microbial community in the gut. By modulating immune activity, L-glutamine may indirectly support the restoration of the microbiome by preventing immune imbalances that could further damage the gut ecosystem.
Energy source for gut bacteria: While humans primarily use L-glutamine for various physiological processes, gut bacteria can also utilize it as a source of energy. By providing L-glutamine, you can support the growth and proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria. A diverse and healthy population of gut microbes is essential for a well-functioning microbiome.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus (GG)
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is one of the most characterized and utilized probiotic strains and has been studied in numerous clinical trials across all ages. It is a human origin strain, identified for its resistance to gastric acidity, adhesion properties, and ability to support healthy gut microflora. Studies involving infants and children suggest that supplementation with L. rhamnosus GG supports healthy GI colonization, GI function, and immune function, particularly related to skin and respiratory health. In a study involving children ages 1-7 attending day care, L. rhamnosus GG offered statistically significant support for respiratory and immune health. Studies involving pregnant women suggest supplementation supports healthy gut microflora in the infant and nutrient metabolism during pregnancy. In one study, infants whose mothers had received L. rhamnosus GG during pregnancy showed increased bifidobacterial diversity at Day 5 after birth. L. rhamnosus GG is well known for its effects on bowel function, particularly abdominal comfort, bowel motility and occasional diarrhea.
It also promotes cytokine balance in the GI tract at the level of gene expression, as well as overall immunomodulatory support. In a double-blind, crossover study, L. rhamnosus GG supplementation moderated the neutrophil and monocyte immune response in dairy-challenged, milk-sensitive subjects, while promoting immune function in non-sensitive subjects. In another study, L. rhamnosus GG promoted healthy gene expression to support white blood cell (WBC) function. Elderly subjects supplemented for 28 days showed 95 differentially expressed genes related to cellular movement, cell-to-cell signaling, and cytokine response.

Zinc-Carnosine
Gut health: Both zinc and carnosine have been studied for their positive effects on gut health. Zinc plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the gut lining and supporting the immune system in the gut. Carnosine, on the other hand, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect the gut lining from damage and support its repair. By taking zinc and carnosine together, you may promote a healthy gut environment and potentially alleviate gut-related issues.
Immune function: Zinc is essential for a healthy immune system, as it is involved in the development and functioning of immune cells. It plays a crucial role in immune cell signaling, antibody production, and maintaining the integrity of mucosal barriers. Carnosine also has immunomodulatory properties and can support immune function. Combining zinc and carnosine may enhance immune system function and provide better support against infections and diseases.
Antioxidant activity: Both zinc and carnosine exhibit antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress can contribute to various health issues, including inflammation, aging, and chronic diseases. By combining zinc and carnosine, you may enhance their antioxidant effects and provide greater protection against oxidative damage.
Cognitive health: Carnosine has been investigated for its potential benefits in cognitive health and neuroprotection. It may help support brain function, reduce oxidative stress in the brain, and protect against neurodegenerative conditions. Zinc also plays a role in cognitive function and has been associated with memory and learning. Taking zinc and carnosine together may have synergistic effects in promoting cognitive health and protecting against age-related cognitive decline.
