In this episode I interview scientist and founder of Quantec Dr Rod Claycomb. We do a deep dive into an ingredient that he has spent over 15 years researching.

I am super excited to bring you this information as I want to put this ingredient on your health optimisation radar.

We came across this ingredient while researching formulations for our immunosenescence product at Aevum Labs, our Biotech Company.

Immune Defense Protein is a novel whey protein fraction made from pasture fed cows milk.

It has over 50 bioactives including the famous Lactoferrin which does a myriad of things but also Lactoperoxidase and 48 other bioactive.

Milk is the original, natural superfood - providing key nutrients and components to enable growth and to build and support the immune system but milk has calories, fat, lactose and amino acids and sometimes we may not want all of those but we do want the bioactives and that is where IDP comes in

The whey protein fraction in milk is a valuable source of essential amino acids and many bioactive proteins and components that have a wide range of functions to benefit human health. Proteins and enzymes such as lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and immunoglobulins play a valuable role in protecting cells against infection by harmful bacteria and viruses. Whey protein bioactives have anti-inflammatory properties that may modulate inflammation and may play a role in reducing health issues caused by excess inflammation.

Quantec scientists led by Dr Claycomb discovered that by extracting all of the cationic bioactive whey proteins from milk, the anti-microbial efficacy and functional benefits of the resulting bioactive protein complex is maximized and is far greater than any of the isolates.

By utlizing the powerful synergy created by the 50+ bioactive whey proteins that are present in milk, Quantec has created a suite of bioactive functional ingredients that offer an effective natural solution to support health and wellness

Quantec research and clinical studies has confirmed their novel whey protein fraction has significant efficacy in inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-a.

Additional research on these anti-inflammatory properties and their benefits for digestive health is being carried out with the New Zealand Science Challenge - High Value Nutrition.

This project is studying the benefits of Quantec's novel whey protein extract for enhancing intestinal barrier function. The results from this study have been very positive and demonstrate that application of our bioactive whey proteins enhance gut barrier integrity and may protect against inflammatory immune responses that can negatively impact gut comfort.

More research on it's anti-viral properties are underway and will be released soon, suffice to say this is very exciting.

We will be including this in our next formulation at Aevum Labs so stay tuned for that but in the meantime, if after listening to this episode you want to try IDP you can get their product Milkamune in my Longevity and Anti-aging supplement shop here
