Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein of the innate immunity of the body. It regulates the adaptive immunity and blocks the chelating capabilities of bacteria, i.e. the ability to capture ferric ions and create complex structures necessary for their existence. It is secreted by the epithelial cells that constitute the first line of our immune defense. Naturally present in the body, it protects its resources of iron, prevents the harmful effect of the most aggressive oxygen and hydroxyl radicals and reduces pathogenic flora in the digestive system. Lactoferrin is the biggest discovery of recent years in relation to supporting our immunity. It stimulates rapid maturation of phagocytes and lymphocyte differentiation. It stimulates components of non-specific immunity, such as macrophages and NK (natural killer) cells, which regulates the humoral and cellular immune response. First of all, lactoferrin stimulates the mechanisms of non-specific immunity. It is present only in the highest forms of life on Earth. So far it has not been discovered in any other species other than mammals.

Bovine Colostrum (also known as beestings or first milk) is the first gift from the mother to the child. It is a fluid that appears prior to lactation, which equips newly born mammals in immunity. Almost anything could be written about colostrum in the field of nutrition, treatment and biology of mammals - and all this will be true, because colostrum contains more than 250 natural compounds (described so far), which are only beneficial for the body. Hormones, including growth hormones (GH), oxidizing enzymes, polyamides, nucleic acid derivatives, amino acid derivatives and such compounds as lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin, cytokines. Bacteriostatic agents, including immunoglobulins, lactoperoxidase, lactenin, lysozyme and leukocytes. It also contains other antibodies, compounds that stimulate regeneration and delay signs of ageing, such as peptide growth factors: IGF-1, TGF - transforming growth factors and even FGF, capable of activating fibroblasts. Colostrum contains leukocytes, bacteria, proteins that inhibit viral reproduction, pantothenic acid, folic acid. Numerous precursors of substances necessary for the body and easily absorbable vitamins and minerals. It is the most valuable of imaginable foods. Supplementation with colostrum is a return to the sources of life.

Colostrum standardised to 40% immunoglobulins, which means that 40% of its composition is immunoglobulins, i.e. proteins of the immune system. The standardisation ensures a constant amount of them in each dose.

Zinc. Is an essential micronutrient that plays a key role in many biological processes in the human body. It participates in the regulation of the immune response, supports the activity of T lymphocytes and helps to fight infections. Zinc deficiency can lead to weakened immunity and increased susceptibility to infection. It is also crucial for tissue regeneration and maintaining skin health. It is used to treat acne, dandruff and ulcers. Zinc deficiencies can lead to dermatological problems and hair loss. Zinc acts as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes that regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It also influences the metabolism of other micronutrients such as copper and iron. This micronutrient plays an important role in cognitive function, mood regulation and memory processes. Its deficiency can be linked to depression and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. It also protects cells from oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and cancer.
