AOR IMMUNE ULTRA is an advanced
Protein formula designed to support and
enhance the
immune system. IMMUNE-ULTRA™ contains 4.82g of lactoferrin
per serving. Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein that is well researched and
known for its ability to improve and modulate the function of the immune
system. Recent studies have shown that lactoferrin can activate the
immune primary defenses, increase IL-18 levels by up to 15%, activate
natural killer cells and enhance the cytotoxicity of neutrophils and
macrophages. Supplemental oral lactoferrin is effective against a broad
range of tumors and in experimental animal studies, bovine lactoferrin
significantly inhibited colon, esophagus, lung and bladder
carcinogenesis. IMMUNE-ULTRA™ is also enhanced with an ultra-high
alpha-lactalbumin whey protein isolate, bringing the alpha-lactalbumin
content to 4.11g per serving. Alpha-lactalbumin also inhibits the growth
of cancer cells. Sialic acid, which binds to invading pathogens, is
also present in IMMUNE-ULTRA™ and helps to prevent infections.
IMMUNE-ULTRA™ delivers lactoferrin, alpha-lactalbumin and sialic acid in
a high-concentration cross-flow microfiltered whey. Whey protein has
itself been demonstrated to reduce the risk of developing colon tumors
in animals.

Stimulation of the immune system
Research has clearly demonstrated that lactoferrin can directly stimulate the immune system. Lactoferrin stimulates the production of cytokines and immune cells, increases IL-18 levels (see figure 1), activates natural killer cells and enhances the cytotoxicity of neutrophils and macrophages. In short, lactoferrin helps to mount an effective immune response (see figure 4).
Thanks to its immuno stimulating effect, supplemental oral lactoferrin is effective against a broad range of tumors. Initial experimental animal studies showed that bovine lactoferrin significantly inhibits colon, esophagus, lung and bladder carcinogenesis. These encouraging results led researchers to test the efficacy of recombinant human (rh) lactoferrin in cancer patients. In a preliminary trial, it was found that oral lactoferrin had an immuno stimulating action at the level of the gut, inducing a systemic anti-cancer effect. Supplementation resulted in a decrease in the rate of tumor growth in 6 out of 7 patients. Tumor growth was reduced from 33.3% before treatment to 9.9% after treatment with lactoferrin for a period of 2 months (see figure 3).
After the results obtained with rh-lactoferrin in this phase I clinical trial, the US Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track designation to the clinical development of lactoferrin. The Fast Track designation is intended for the combination of a product and a claim that address an unmet medical need. Rh-lactoferrin is currently undergoing phase II clinical trials for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Human and bovine lactoferrin share a similar structure, amino acid sequence and biological activity. Recent research has shown that bovine lactoferrin is in fact a more potent inhibitor of certain human viruses.
A direct apoptotic effect
Lactoferricin is a peptide fraction that is obtained from the digestion of lactoferrin in the stomach. Lactoferricin induces apoptosis directly in several cancerous cell lines. More specifically, lactoferricin induces apoptosis in human leukemia, lymphoma, breast, colon and ovarian cancer cells. It is thought that this induction results from an effect at the level of the mitochondrion.
Studies in cell lines have also confirmed that alpha-lactalbumin can inhibit the growth of human cancer cells.

IFN-g potentiates the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons. IL-18 enhances NK cell activity - the cells responsible for the destruction of cancer cells.

Prevents the spread of cancer
The formation of new blood vessels is required for tumor growth. Lactoferrin is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and therefore prevents the progression and spread of tumors (see figure 2). In vitro and animal experiments have demonstrated that lactoferrin prevents angiogenesis, probably through an inhibitory effect on vascular endothelial growth factors.
A powerful antioxidant
Whey protein and lactoferrin are rich in glutathione precursors and studies have shown that they can both effectively increase glutathione levels. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that protects immune cells such as lymphocytes, T cells and NK cells from free radicals. Higher glutathione levels increase the proliferation of immune cells in the spleen. This explains why, in animals, supplementation with whey protein has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of developing colon tumors.
The iron scavenging properties of lactoferrin also contribute to its anticancer effect. Free iron is a pro-oxidant and generates free radicals which can damage DNA and cause cancer. Lactoferrin binds to free iron, reducing the oxidation load in the body.
Effective against a variety of microorganisms
Iron is needed for bacterial growth. Lactoferrin sequesters iron, which partly explains its antibacterial activity. Animal studies have clearly demonstrated that lactoferrin reduces bacterial proliferation, preventing bacterial overgrowth in the intestines and reducing bacterial numbers in infected organs. The addition of lactoferrin to the drinking water of animals with fungal infections promotes recovery.
Lactoferrin is also effective against viruses. Other than interferon, lactoferrin is the only agent capable of reducing the presence of the hepatitis C virus in chronic hepatitis C patients. Lactoferrin also has an antiviral effect against human papillomavirus, the causative factor behind most cervical cancer cases.
Animal studies confirm that the combination of lactoferrin and chemotherapy is more effective than either treatment alone. Lactoferrin can therefore be used to increase the effectiveness of conventional treatments and also to prevent infections in cancer patients. This is a significant advantage because infections secondary to immune dysfunction are a leading cause of mortality in patients receiving radiation or chemotherapy treatments.
Increases protein intake
Immune-Ultra contains 89% protein by weight. In cancer patients, the ability to maintain adequate nutrition is essential for a favorable prognosis, and proteins are particularly important to prevent the development of cancer cachexia, a condition characterized by weight loss, muscular atrophy, weakness and anorexia.
The health benefits associated with Immune-Ultra are mediated by a variety of proteins naturally present in whey. Those proteins stimulate the immune system, provide antioxidants to the body, attack cancer cells and prevent the formation of new blood vessels which are needed for cancer growth. Lactoferrin has emerged as the most advantageous whey protein component in anticancer research. However, in order to be effective, lactoferrin is needed in large quantities. This is why Immune-Ultra contains 4.8g of lactoferrin per serving size. The research findings using high dose lactoferrin all point to the same conclusion - Immune-Ultrais an excellent option for cancer patients.

AOR IMMUNE ULTRA est une formule protéinée avancée conçue pour soutenir et améliorer le fonctionnement du système immunitaire. IMMUNE-ULTRATM contient 4.82g de lactoférrine par portion. La lactoférrine est une glycoprotéine reconnue pour sa capacité à améliorer et moduler la fonction du système immunitaire. Des études récentes ont prouvé que la lactoférrine peut activer les défenses immunitaires primaires, augmenter les niveaux de IL-18 jusqu'à de 15%, activer les cellules tueuses naturelles et augmenter la cytotoxicité des neutrophiles et des macrophages. La lactoférrine orale supplémentaire est efficace contre plusieurs types de tumeurs. Les études animales démontrent que la lactoférrine empêche la carcinogenèse de l'oesophage, des poumons et de la vessie. IMMUNE-ULTRATM contient également un isolat de protéine riche en alpha-lactalbumine, et possède un contenu d'alpha-lactalbumine de 4.74g par portion. L'alpha-lactalbumine empêche également la croissance des cellules cancéreuses. L'acide sialique, qui se lie aux microbes pathogènes envahissants, est également présent dans IMMUNE-ULTRATM et aide à empêcher les infections. IMMUNE-ULTRATM livre de la lactoférrine, de l'alpha-lactalbumine et de l'acide sialique dans un isolat de protéine de petit-lait microfiltrée à flux croisé. La protéine de petit-lait a elle-même été démontrée capable de réduire le risque de développer des tumeurs du colon chez les animaux.
Un système immunitaire faible est à la base de presque toutes les maladies; des infections au cancer Immune-Ultra est une formule de protéine avant-gardiste qui s'appuie sur les dernières recherches pour supporter et améliorer le système immunitaire. Elle est constituée d'un mélange de protéine d'isolat, de concentré de petit lait, de lactoferrine et d'alpha-lactalbumine.
La lactoferrine est une glycoprotéine qui est bien connue pour sa capacité à améliorer et à régulariser la fonction du système immunitaire. Elle active les défenses primaires du système immunitaire, accroît la production des signaux qui augmentent la réponse immunitaire et améliore la fonction des cellules immunitaires, telles que les macrophages et les neutrophiles responsables d'attaquer les pathogènes envahissants. La lactoferrine se lie aussi au fer, gardant ce nutriment essentiel loin des bactéries qui ne peuvent pas croître sans lui. La lactoferrine a des propriétés antivirales. Il a aussi été démontré qu'elle était efficace contre le virus de l'hépatite C et le papillomavirus humain (une cause du cancer du col de l'utérus).
Indirectement, la lactoferrine protège aussi le système immunitaire en augmentant le niveau de glutathion. Grâce à ses propriétés anti-oxydantes et sa capacité à stimuler le système immunitaire, la lactoferrine est un atout dans la lutte contre une grande variété de tumeurs. Des études expérimentales faites sur des animaux ont démontré que la lactoferrine contrait les carcinomes des intestins, de l'oesophage, des poumons et de la vessie. Une étude servant à tester l'effet anti-tumoral de la lactoferrine dans l'abdomen a démontré une réduction de la croissance des tumeurs de 33,3% à 9,9% après 2 mois de traitement oral. La lactoferrine est un puissant inhibiteur du développement de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins, lesquels sont requis pour la croissance des tumeurs. La lactoferricine, une fraction de peptide provenant de la digestion de la lactoferrine, cause la mort des cellules cancéreuses chez les gens ayant divers cancers, tels la leucémie, le cancer du sein, du colon et des ovaires, ainsi que ceux associés aux lymphomes. Des études ont démontré qu'une combinaison de lactoferrine et de chimiothérapie est plus efficace que la chimiothérapie seule. La lactoferrine joue un rôle important de prévention des infections chez les patients atteints du cancer. Les infections sont une des causes principales de mort chez les patients recevant des traitements de radiation ou de chimiothérapie. En fait, le rôle de la lactoferrine dans le traitement du cancer est tellement intéressant que son développement clinique a été accéléré.
D'autres protéines présentes dans le petit lait ont plusieurs propriétés bénéfiques pour l'immunité. L'acide sialique se lie au pathogènes envahissants pour ainsi prévenir les infections. L'alpha-lactalbumine combat le cancer et la grande quantité de protéine contenue dans l'Immune-Ultra (89% de protéine par poids) est aussi bénéfique chez les patients ayant un cancer, puisqu'ils ont souvent de la difficulté à maintenir une nutrition adéquate, ce qui est nécessaire pour un pronostique favorable.
Les protéines de petit lait sont bien connues pour leurs bienfaits sur la santé. Immune- Ultra contient de fortes doses d'ingrédients permettant de renforcer, de façon efficace, le système immunitaire et d'aider le corps à se protéger contre une grande variété de maladies.
