Immunel™ milk peptide is a clinically tested, cost-competitive ingredient that supports immune health and is easily incorporated into a myriad of food and beverage products with no impact on taste, color and texture. Studies have shown Immunel™ to rapidly increase phagocytosis, increase the number and vigor of immune cells that respond to microbial (bacterial) invaders, activate natural killer cells and more. Immunel™ can be used in foods, beverages, and supplements.

Tegricel™ is a new product made from premium milk peptides and bioactives. It is a natural defense against Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). Tegricel™ has also been shown to repair damaged tissue from the use of NSAID's (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) and other conditions that cause intestinal damage. Tegricel™ can be used in foods, supplements, and some beverage applications.
