EGG YOLK ANTI TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR
(IgY) ANTIBODY PLUS BOVINE LACTOFERRIN
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine implicated
in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease, chronic recurrent
inflammatory bowl disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis and certain other autoimmune
disorders.
Lactoferrin is a bactericidal, natural immune
modultor, widespread among various biological fluids. The therapeutic role of
lactoferrin and its effect on TNF and other pro inflammatory cytokines were
studied in experimentally induced colitis in rodents. Oral administration of
both human and bovine lacoferrin significantly reduced inflammation, TNF and
other inflammatory cytokine levels in the colonic tissues of the rodents.
Lactoferrin therefore exerts a protective effect against colitis in rodents via
modulation of the immune system and correction of cytokine imbalance.
Another approach to therapy of colitis, IBD and TNF associated inflammatory
diseases is neutralization of TNF by specific antibodies. A number of such
antibodies are currently available and approved for therapy, however, recent
concerns have been raised regarding repeated intravenous infusions, serious
adverse side effects and the high cost of treatment.
Ora Mune Intestinal Health Formula is an orally delivered combination of
lactoferrin and egg yolk anti TNF (IgY) antibody, two natural and potent anti
TNF products that may be useful in neutralizing gut associated proinflammatory
cytokines and restore colon health.
