Prodiet® Colostrum has shown excellent results on patients in the field of intestinal heath in several in vitro studies.
Growth factors have been shown to promote regeneration of the digestive endoepithelium¹ for improved renewal of the intestinal barrier.
By promoting epithelial regeneration, growth factors also enhance the barrier effect of the digestive epithelium, thereby reducing the risk of infection or diarrhoea²

- By boosting the immune system, IgG and growth factors prevent colonisation of the digestive system by pathogens3-4
- IgAs will support the intestinal barrier with mucosal protection against pathogens (adherent bacteria)5 .
- Thanks to its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties
