Bovine Serum Albumin, alpha-Lactalbumin and beta-Lactoglobulin
Bovine serum albumin enhances pregastric lipase's, promoting more efficient newborn digestion, and it also binds fatty acids in the body. More importantly, it also contains an appreciable amount of cysteine, which is the molecular precursor to glutathione.
Alpha-lactalbumin is the subunit of lactose synthesis the enzyme which catalyzes the addition of galactose to glucose to create lactose*. It is possible this may aid in infant digestion of milk. It also contains cysteine, though not in as great a ratio as bovine serum albumin.
Beta-lactoglobulin is involved with the transfer of passive immunity and the binding of retinol and fatty acids. This binding allows for the efficient uptake of fats by the cells.
The presence of beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin protein in milk is a major cause for allergic reaction in humans. Subsequently, those with true milk allergies to milk protein should not ingest these milk proteins and should caution their use in any form. Lactose intolerance is not a factor in this allergic response. Typically lactose intolerance presents itself as diarrhea from the excess consumption of lactose (this can vary from individual to individual). ImmunoPro Rx™ contains low levels (0.3g per 5g serving) of lactose and this is well below the tolerance level for most people.
