Bov-Rix

Bov-Rix is a high potency, pure Bovine Colostrum/Larix Arabinogalactan Complex - to provide active IgG to stimulate the immune system1, enhance NK cells¹, and increase beneficial micro flora in the colon for intestinal health. This unique compound is beneficial to those with compromised immune systems, gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, cancer, and for general nutritional support.

Each capsule contains:
a total of 500 mg and is a proprietary formula containing the highest quality "first milking" Bovine Colostrum plus pure Larix Arabinogalactan.

DIRECTIONS: Take 1-2 capsules T.I.D.-(three times /day), or as needed with water or fruit juice. In powder form, take ? tsp. -1tsp. T.I.D., or as needed.

RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION RELATING TO NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND DEFICIENCIES PERTAINING TO:

• Stimulating immune system function by providing active immunoglobulin G (IgG), for general health support.

• Increasing immunological activity for those with compromised or decreased immune systems, such as those with allergies, AIDS, and cancer.

• Enhancing production of beneficial flora in the colon, which are important for intestinal health, as well as for those with gastrointestinal imbalances such as malabsorption syndrome, and intestinal permeability.

• Oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, which are important bioactive components in human nutrition. Those in bovine milk are similar to those in human milk.

• Inhibiting harmful bacteria from attaching to endothelial surfaces of intestine.

• Providing an excellent source of dietary fiber.

• Enhancing NK (natural killer) cell cytotoxicity and inhibiting metastasis of tumor cells to the liver.

• Increasing lean body mass in active men and women.

WHAT IS BOVINE COLOSTRUM?

• Colostrum is composed of Oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, bioactive components of milk from nursing mothers. The chemical structure of bovine Colostrum is similar to human milk. The role of glycoconjugates is to prove protection against pathogens by inhibiting the binding sites on the endothelial surfaces of the intestine. They also act as growth promoters for beneficial microflora in the colon. It is important to enrich the population of one's own friendly bacteria, since new colonies are more difficult to establish.

• Colostrum has been used to support intestinal health in those with malabsorption syndrome, intestinal permeability, and those with pylori infections and diarrhea caused by a rotavirus. Colostrum also provides immunoglobulin G (IgG), as well as stimulating the production of insulin like growth factor Igf. Colostrum, which also contains both essential and nonessential amino acids, has been shown to increase lean body mass in active men and women.
  
  Montiff Bov-Rix contains the purist Colostrum from American, healthy Grade-A dairy herds and manufactured under the highest quality standards. It is collected from the "first milking", which contains the most biologically active elements.

WHAT IS LARIX ARABINOGALACTAN?

• Larix Occidentalis (or Western Larch) is a large evergreen tree, which grows on the mountain slopes and valleys of British Columbia, Canada and Montana, Oregon, Idaho and Washington in the US. Larix Arabinogalactan is a polysaccharide-(polysaccharides are long repetitive molecules of sugar), powder derived from the inner bark of this tree, which is compromised of approximately 98% Arabinogalactan-(the sugars Arabinose & Galactose),. This is an excellent source of dietary fiber, approved by the FDA. This fiber decreases rapid gas production, which is often a problem related to other dietary fibers. In addition, the Larix Arabinogalactan in Bov-Rix is certified Kosher.

• Larix Arabinogalactan provides active immunoglobulin G (IgG), stimulating immune system function and supporting good health. It also enhances NK (natural killer) cell cytotoxicity and inhibits metastasis of tumor cells to the liver. This makes it an excellent immune system adjunct for those with compromised or deficient immune systems, as well as providing beneficial properties for cancer patients.

• Larix Arabinogalactan stimulates growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, providing an excellent food source for Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. It inhibits harmful, disease-causing bacteria, including Candida albicans (yeast), from attaching to the endothelial surfaces of the colon. It also helps alleviate lactose intolerance, helps reduce LDL's, and enhances anticarcinogenic activity in the colon, providing a healthier gastrointestinal tract.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BOV-RIX?
Bov-Rix is a unique formula containing the highest quality, pure Bovine Colostrum plus Larix Arabinogalactan, providing a comprehensive complex for the following:

• STIMULATING IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION
  Those with compromised immune systems, such as AIDS or HIV patients, cancer patients and those with allergies.

• CANCER PATIENTS
  Stimulates NK cell cytotoxicity, immune system, and inhibits metastasis of tumor cells to liver.

• GASTROINTESTINAL IMBALANCES - Malabsorption Syndrome-Intestinal Permeability
  Will enhance beneficial microflora, while decreasing harmful bacteria, which cause a myriad of problems. By improving intestinal health, it can be is beneficial to those with intestinal permeability and malabsorption syndrome. A medical study shows that those who had gastrointestinal injury due to taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as analgesics benefited from Colostrum supplementation as well.

• HELPING TO PREVENT YEAST INFECTIONS
  For those who are taking antibiotics, and for those who are prone to yeast infections.

• INCREASING LEAN BODY MASS
  Studies show that active adults, who supplement with Bovine Colostrum, have increased lean body mass.

• PROVIDING GENERAL HEALTH SUPPORT
  Larix provides dietary fiber, and along with Bovine Colostrum, improves intestinal health and immune function - for daily nutritional support.
