Thorne's L-Glutamine Powder is NSF Certified for Sport®. Evidence suggests supplemental L-glutamine benefits gastrointestinal health, supports wound healing, maintains immune health, and helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise.* L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is its greatest user. Various stress factors – such as trauma, infection, malnutrition, chemotherapy, injury, and high-level athletic training – can adversely affect absorption in the small intestine, leading to food allergies. In numerous animal studies, the addition of L-glutamine improved absorption, as well as the gut's immune function.*

Skeletal muscles contain the greatest intracellular concentration of L-glutamine. But that concentration can be adversely affected by various insults, including injury, infection, chronic stress, malnutrition, and glucocorticoid use. Intense exercise lowers blood levels of glutamine, which can remain low if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery. Research indicates L-glutamine supplementation can offset these conditions.*

Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.

CT-Biotic is a blend of spore-forming and non-spore-forming bacteria combined with Carbon Technology. It provides 11 bacterial strains that are essential for supporting detoxification, digestive function, and immunity.*

The addition of Carbon Technology sets CT-Biotic apart from other probiotic supplements.

As a blend of fulvic and humic acids, Carbon Technology helps protect all bacterial strains from being destroyed or damaged by stomach acid, so that cultures are still intact by the time they reach the lower GI tract.

Note: Formerly CT-Spore, CT-Biotic offers an improved formula to provide greater detoxification support.* The base has also been switched from a coconut base to a non-allergen cellulose base to be better tolerated by patients with food sensitivities.

Comprehensive immune support formula*

Transfer Factor Multi-Immune™ provides an advanced, comprehensive immune support formula, promoting healthy natural killer cells, macrophages, T-cells, and cell division. Product may be used as a daily-use supplement to promote and maintain healthy natural killer cell function as well as providing additional support to the immune system during acute health challenges.

Clinically researched Transfer Factor Multi-Immune™ is a comprehensive immune support formula comprising a proprietary, researched blend of transfer factor, whole colostrum, beta-glucan, and additional immune-supporting ingredients.* This unique formula promotes a healthy immune system via multiple mechanisms of action.*

Mechanisms of action:

• Supports healthy NK Cell function*
• Promotes immune modulation*
• Supports a healthy cytokine response*

What is transfer factor?

First discovered by immunologist H. Sherwood Lawrence in 1949, transfer factors are immune messenger molecules comprised of amino acids. In mammals, these molecules are naturally produced by the body. Research suggests that these peptides are produced in colostrum and can be passed on to babies through the pre-milk. These molecules are not species-specific and therefore can be extracted from bovine (cow) colostrum and utilized in supplement form. They provide immune "knowledge" to the immune system by latching on to bad cells and acting as a marker, allowing the immune system to more effectively identify these potentially harmful cells as a threat.* Additionally, they have the unique ability to modulate the immune system, promoting Th1 and TH2 balance.*

Our Transfer Factor NK+™ is a proprietary blend of purified transfer factor and whole colostrum. Colostrum also contains a plethora of bioactive immune-supporting components, including IgA IgG and IgM, lactoferrin, IGF-I and II, TF?, and more.

To learn more about the science and history, and for a look into the ground-breaking research, Researched Nutritionals® recommends "A Guide to Transfer Factors and Immune System Health," by Aaron White, Ph.D. In the second edition of this popular book, Dr. White takes readers on a tour of transfer factors. Using language that is easy to follow, the author explores nearly 60 years of research, beginning with their discovery by famed immunologist, H. Sherwood Lawrence, in 1949.
