Leaky Gut
Many people experience digestive discomfort without realizing that increased intestinal permeability — sometimes called "leaky gut" — may be a contributing factor. Patients often bring these symptoms to their healthcare providers without connecting them to gut health, and recent research into the gut-immune connection is helping providers close that gap.
Bovine colostrum, a foundational ingredient with a growing body of research behind it, is one tool providers are turning to.† Daily colostrum supplementation, alongside a healthy lifestyle, is intended to support the gut lining and a balanced microbiome.† Many patients report increased energy levels, joint comfort, skin health, and general immune support with regular use.†
Pioneers in Liposomal Delivery
GastroDefense is a pioneer in liposomal delivery and the first supplement company to apply this technology to a nutritional product. Liposomal delivery (LD) protects the delicate bioactives in processed colostrum for efficient delivery and maximal efficacy at the cellular level. All of the colostrum utilized in the GastroDefense® line of products has this proprietary LD, which gives your patients the best, most consistent results possible, when taken as directed.
PRO Colostrum-LD® – the signature liposomal bovine colostrum supplement designed as a foundational supplement for every age and health status.
PRO GastroDefense® DAILY – a rich combination of probiotics, liposomal bovine colostrum, fiber, and other phytonutrients designed to support healthy bowel movements and a healthy G.I. tract. It offers protection against occasional diarrhea and/or constipation and helps maintain an ideal bacterial balance within the gut microbiome.
GastroDefense® STOMACH ARMOR® – a daily probiotic supplement with liposomal bovine colostrum plus the added benefit of zinc carnosine. This supplement is designed for patients who take other G.I.-irritating medications.
PRO Bioidentical Polypeptides-LD® – concentrated proline-rich polypeptides (12%) extracted from fresh bovine colostrum are dried and combined with liposomal bovine colostrum for robust immune support. This product is not recommended for stand-alone use, but should be used with full-strength PRO Colostrum-LD®.
PRO Colostrum-LD®
Health professionals around the world rely on PRO Colostrum-LD® to help patients pursue good health, support gut lining integrity, and maintain active lifestyles.† Whether for healthy-aging support, athletic performance, general wellness, or an individual health goal, liposomal bovine colostrum supplementation is one option providers are exploring.†
Early research by Raymond Playford, M.D. in the late 1990s/early 2000s explored how oral bovine colostrum supplementation interacts with the G.I. lining under conditions of dietary and lifestyle stress, such as NSAID use† — a foundational finding that shaped how we think about gut support today. Pain medication and other gut-irritating drug use is common today, as are the environmental, dietary, and lifestyle factors that can affect gut barrier function. When the tight junctions in the intestinal wall loosen more than usual, it can allow more toxins and antigens to reach the bloodstream, prompting an immune response. Over time, an ongoing immune response can be uncomfortable and disruptive to daily life.†
Propelled by increasing interest in nutrition-based patient care, there has been a steady stream of clinical trials involving bovine colostrum in recent years. These studies span a wide range of uses and populations, with research spanning newborns, children, adults, and elders.
