Scientific Support
We talked with veterinary medicine doctors who have used Glutrasol derivatives in their animal practices, and here is what they had to say.
Steven J. Slagle, DVM
La Grande, Oregon
In 2013, he moved to his ranch in La Grande, Oregon, where he raises full-blood Wagyu cattle. Since 1999, he has focused on the effects of immune modulation to improve the number of successes in his practice.
He spends his days educating and consulting veterinarians, producers, and growers. He enjoys sharing the advantages of using the immune system to improve the health of their patients, livestock, and bottom line.
Bill Burlingame, DVM
Stanwood, Washington
After moving to the Pacific Northwest in 1979, he opened the Quil Ceda Veterinary Hospital in 1980, where he practiced canine and feline medicine and surgery until selling the practice in 2005.
Dr. Burlingame currently works part-time in the same practice. His current practice interests focus on nutritional medicine, the Plechner Syndrome, Erchonia Laser Therapy, and Natural Immunotherapy. Ramaekers’s Nutrition immune formulas have been essential in his patient care protocols since 2001.
Bob McClung, DVM
Tiffin, Ohio
Immunotherapy has astounding results for livestock health, performance, and reproduction. He has been using Ramaekers Nutrition immune modulator formulas for more than twenty-five years in practice for both large- and small-animal patients and on his own show sheep and feedlot cattle.
Dr. McClung has lectured on natural immunotherapy at numerous producers’ meetings in Ohio, Minnesota’s State Cattlemen’s Annual, and Tyson’s Cattle Meeting in Indiana. He is currently consulting with Dairy Calf Raisers from several Midwestern states.
Dr. McClung also proudly uses immunotherapy for integrative cancer care for small-animal and equine patients. Immunotherapy is a terrific tool to help set the wellness bar much higher in all species.
Transfer Factor Ultra: CortControl Immune System Enhancement
If you’re looking for a dietary supplement that can help strengthen your immune system, Transfer Factor Ultra can be a viable option. This supplement contains Transfer Factor (TF), which helps educate and improve the immune system’s defense against harmful pathogens.
Transfer Factor Ultra ingredients are formulated at therapeutic levels for severe illness or as prevention for significant health challenges. As with any supplement, it is advisable to seek advice from your healthcare professional to ensure it suits you.
The Engine of Formulas
Since most people already take multivitamins and minerals, Dr. Ramaekers created a supplement offering more.
Dr. Ramaekers states Transfer Factor Ultra is “the engine of my formulas.” It contains transfer factor, mushroom blend extract, prebiotics, and probiotics. This immune enhancement supplement is the engine that pulls the train of boxcars, and the boxcars are vitamins, amino acids, essential fats, and minerals.
The Science behind Transfer Factor Ultra
The science behind Transfer Factor Ultra is in Peyer’s Patch. The delicate balance between gut health and a healthy immune system is essential for successful immunotherapy.
Peyer’s Patches
Peyer’s patches are located in the last portion of the small intestine. They further digest food and enable the absorption of water and nutrients from food. They serve as a frontline defense in our immune system by keeping the intestinal flora and pathogens at appropriate levels, thereby preventing many infections.
CortControl Immune System Enhancement
If you want to boost immunity, look to the gut. Research shows that nearly 80 percent of your immune system is in your digestive tract. The beneficial bacteria and microorganisms that live there defend your gut from infection and support the immune system.
The delicate balance between gut health and a healthy immune system is the connection for successful immunotherapy.
Transfer Factor Ultra
Transfer Factor Ultra contains 18 billion colony-forming units,* and 650 mg of Prebiotics are in the formula.
*Colony-forming units (CFU) are used in microbiology to estimate the number of viable bacteria or fungi in a sample. A colony is a cluster of bacteria growing together.
Prebiotics
Prebiotics* (typically high-fiber foods) feed human microflora and improve the balance of these microorganisms.
*Prebiotics set the stage for Probiotic growth to maintain this balance for immune health.
Probiotics
Probiotics are foods or supplements containing live microorganisms intended to maintain or improve the “good” bacteria (normal microflora). Our probiotics have been thoroughly researched for optimal effect in disease prevention.
CortControl Immune System Enhancement — Pure Ingredients for a Healthier You!
Ingredient purity and quality are the most essential elements of supplementation. We use only the highest quality ingredients that work for you. Our products never include harmful fillers, processing aids, GMOs, and other contaminants.
Glutrasol Dietary Supplement
Glutrasol provides an extra defense against the flu and other seasonal illnesses. It’s also excellent when traveling because it helps you avoid exposure to travel-related diseases. Gultrasol helps strengthen your overall immune health, especially if you are susceptible to disease or are elderly, not to mention if you spend time around many people, especially if they are sick.
Glutrasol offers therapeutic levels of transfer factors, glucans, prebiotics and probiotics, vitamins, and minerals and has a rich vanilla flavor.
How does Glutrasol support immune health?
Stress, in all its forms, whether physical (due to viruses or other illnesses), chemical, or circumstantial, has direct (and particular) impacts on the immune system.
CortControl Immune System Enhancement
Glutrasol is based on a 40-year application of science-based treatments designed to address stress in all its forms.
When our bodies are sick or even when fighting viruses at sub-clinical levels (not detectable or producing effects), our immune systems prioritize fighting disease above other bodily functions.
This immunodeficiency (results from a failure or absence of elements of the immune system) can manifest in many ways as the body works to get well.
Daily environmental or emotional stresses can also consume immune system resources. Maximizing the natural immune support can minimize the impact that illness and stress demand, resulting in better overall health.
Cytokine Balance
What is Cytokine Balance? Cytokines are small proteins crucial in controlling the growth and activity of other immune system cells and blood cells. Within the immune system, there is a complex combination of small proteins called cytokines, with ratios needed to balance each other to maximize immune system health.
Cytokines, when released, signal the immune system to do its job.
Cytokines affect the development of all blood cells and other cells that help the body’s immune and inflammation responses.
Unlike multi-vitamins, generic immune system support, or stress-reduction products, Glutrasol IE directly addresses the cytokine balance needed for immunomodulation that enhances immune system health.
Strengthening Immune Health
Glutrasol supports immune health by enhancing your natural defenses, which are vital to wellness. Its three actives—Transfer Factor (TF), Beta-Glucans, and Lactic Acid-Generating bacteria—work to maximize that cytokine balance.
Glutrasol Benefits
- Supports immune system health to enhance your natural defenses
- Extends immune protection for people in risky environments
- Increases and extends immune support for traditional health methods
