Product Description
The immune system is a wonderfully complex and highly coordinated system that provides daily protection against a number of potential threats to our well being. Many things however can throw our immune system out of balance such as stress, a poor diet, exposure to environmental toxins along with the natural aging process. When our immune system becomes unbalanced, we can become more prone to immune attack and take longer to recover from illness. An out of balance immune system can also have the opposite effect, that is it can become overactive and turn against our own tissues.
At birth, babies receive from their mothers the immune balancing benefits of colostrum, the first milk from the breast that contains a number of immune and growth factors to ensure health and vitality. Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRP’s) are a natural component of colostrum that act as immune signalling molecules to help co-ordinate the immune response. Clinicians Pepticol is a unique supplement derived from bovine colostrum that has undergone a patented extraction process to liberate the immune balancing PRP’s. The unique oral spray delivery system means the PRP’s in Clinicians Pepticol are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream via themucous membranes of the mouth.1
PRP’s work by supporting a balanced immune system and harmonising the immune response (for example when we have ills or chills), in order to support normal levels of function and help protect the body.1 PRP’s can be taken daily to support a healthy immune system and protect against dietary and environmental challenges and also help to protect the immune system when travelling. Clinicians Pepticol is an ideal way to attain and maintain optimal health by balancing the body’s biochemistry.

Additional Information:
Clinicians Pepticol contains lactose (approximately 70mg of lactose per 2.5ml or four sprays). This dose is below the 80mg dose needed to trigger an adverse reaction in lactose intolerant individuals. Scientific feedback indicates that the PRP’s in Clinicians Pepticol actually help the body to start producing its own lactase over time. Casein and other large milk proteins have been removed from Clinicians Pepticol so this product should therefore be tolerated by those with IgG or IgE-mediated allergies to dairy products.1
Precautions & Contraindications
Precautions and Contraindications:
Avoid Pepticol in organ transplant recipients who are on immuno-suppressive medication to prevent the possible risk of tissue rejection.1
Side Effects:
Bovine colostrum is generally well tolerated. Occasionally people develop a Herxheimer reaction (detoxification associated with muscle soreness) following colostrum or PRP supplementation. This is very rare and short-lived and can be overcome by drinking a glass of water to prevent the toxins from being re-deposited by body tissue.1
Pregnancy and Breast Feeding:
Avoid if you are pregnant or breast feeding or planning to become pregnant.
Dietary supplements are additional to, and not a replacement for a balanced diet. Always read the label. Use as directed. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Pregnant or lactating women should consult their health professional before taking supplements. If symptoms persist, see your health professional. Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of young children.
