A Rose by Any Other Name Would Be as Beautiful...

...and an immunoglobulin by any other name would be just as effective. It would also be called an antibody, as it's more commonly known.

Immunoglobulins work to identify and attack foreign substances known as antigens. Common antigens include bacteria and viruses, and they can also include fungi, pet dander, pollution, and just about any other un-welcome invader trying to wreak havoc on your health and well being.

What do immunoglobulins do and how do they work?

There are five major types of antibodies, the most abundant being immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgG makes up between 75% and 80% of all immunoglobulins, and it can be found in all bodily fluids. IgG is essential when it comes to fighting off antigens but, when counts are low, your immune system becomes less effective.

There are many different ways your body can be immunoglobulin-deficient. When your body undergoes trauma or stress, this signals your body to send immunoglobulin fighters to resolve the problem. It's an absolute marvel that your body is able to respond in this way. However, in certain situations, this can leave other parts of your body exposed to additional threats.

For example, if you have a surgery, your body's immunoglobulins are put on high alert and go right to the immediate threat. This depletes overall immunoglobulin levels that can then be used to fight off more "normal" antigens. In other words, your body is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and this undermines your body's overall defenses.

How do you prevent this?

There is a way to give your immune system a boost when you are preparing for and recovering from surgery. By supplementing your body's natural production of immunoglobulins, you can help to ensure your immune system is running on all cylinders. This will help end the internal chaos caused by the stress that surgery puts on your body.

Where can you find IgG?

IgG is a key component of serum-derived immunoglobulin concentrate and can be found in ProteinPruTect. Being "serum-derived" helps increase the potency and effectiveness of IgG. That combined with the fact that ProteinPruTect is made of only the highest quality ingredients and is an all-natural, gluten-free, dairy-free, fructose-free formula. ProteinPruTect is available now on PruTectRx.com.

The Appetite Suppression of Green Tea without the Restroom Visits

Green tea has long demonstrated many health benefits, including appetite suppression. However, to experience them, it would be necessary to almost constantly be drinking a cup of tea. It's for this reason that the primary components of green tea have been extracted to provide 10 cups worth of green tea in a single capsule of the new PruTectRx product, WeightPruTect, thereby providing you with excellent antioxidant power without all of the trips to the restroom.

What is Green Tea Extract?
Green tea extract is essentially all of the key constituents of green tea in a more potent form. The biochemical properties of green tea extracts can be generally divided into four aspects – antioxidant, anticarcinogen, anti-inflammatory, and anti-radiation. Through a purification process, however, it is possible to extract those primary benefits to acquire a higher content of tea catechins, the "magic" piece of the green tea puzzle.

Catechins are part of a group of polyphenols called flavonoids that are found naturally in plants and help to stimulate thermogenesis, the process by which the body generates heat therefore increasing metabolism.

Why Green Tea?

From the antioxidant perspective, green tea extracts are, generally speaking, more effective than black tea extracts due to the better preservation of catechins because in black tea the catechins are fully oxidized and converted to theaflavins. In other words, the good stuff isn't destroyed through the purification process.

Green Tea Extract Trivia
Did you know that green tea extract is 20 times more antioxidant-active than Vitamin C? Now that's what we call packing a punch!

Antifreeze for Your Immune System

Antifreeze is a remarkable product: not only does it ensure that your car will start in extreme winter cold, but it also protects your car from overheating in the summer by regulating the engine's temperature.

How is it possible for the same product to perform seemingly contradictory functions? The answer is a substance called ethylene glycol, which has a boiling point of 387° and a freezing point of -40° so that it can regulate your engine's temperature in extreme hot or cold temperatures.

With the temperature outside dropping, our immune system often needs an added boost. Our bodies need something that will moderate our immunity, keeping it from falling too low, while also needs something to make sure our immune systems don't become over-stimulated by all the junk in the air. Is there something that could have the same impact on our immunity as antifreeze has on engines—but that we can take without being rushed to the hospital?

Nature's Antifreeze
Enter arabinogalactan, a natural substance that serves as antifreeze for your immune system. Arabinogalactan is a soluble fiber found in many wooded plants and some vegetables that functions to normalize the immune system by keeping it both from either under-performing or over-acting. This helps the immune system effectively deal with real threats to the body versus other things that can cause it to needlessly kick into high gear.

The greatest concentration of arabinogalactan is found in the western larch tree. Its ability to act like antifreeze for the tree's immune system should come as no surprise, as the western larch must protect itself against the freeze-thaw cycles it experiences in its native Pacific Northwest.

Other Benefits
Arabinogalactan also acts as a prebiotic and has been shown to enhance digestion by promoting the growth of friendly bacteria. When arabinogalactan enters the digestive tract, it ferments and produces a metabolic by-product called short-chain fatty acids, which are essential to food's digestion. Prebiotics also help support gastrointestinal (GI) function.

Don't Eat Bark
Fortunately, you don't have to eat the bark of the western larch tree to get the benefits of nature's antifreeze. Arabinogalactan is an ingredient found in ProteinPruTect, an all-natural, GMP certified nutritional supplement used to boost immunity, improve GI function and strengthen overall health.
