Our world is witnessing a major discipline shift in its approach to health care and the attainment of wellness. We are moving from a crisis intervention model (where we “try” to treat an already sick person) to a preventive care philosophy whereas many of us - healthcare practitioners and general public alike - are thinking that it is best to treat the patient before symptoms appear, as treatment has proven to be very difficult after symptoms appear. Like one of America’s most influential and knowledgeable Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin taught us :
“ an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure ”. |
|
During this preventive health care model, the food we eat (and drink) play a principal role, as we follow Hippocrates’ (the father of Medicine) advice to “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”.
Undoubtedly, there’s a clear connection between our food and our health. Fortunately, our society’s present powerful information tools network help us educate on the right food that will be definitely more beneficial for taking care of our health as it will assist us in living a longer, healthier life.
Scientists have come to our rescue by studying and classifying those foods that have proven able to promote optimal health and prevent disease – from both the plant and the animal kingdoms - as “Functional Foods”. This term describes those plant or animal ingredients that – after passing strict scientific scrutiny and validation - may provide health benefits to the human body. These functional foods have been classified into two major groups, namely “ Phytonutrients ” and “ Zoonutrients ”. The dictionary defines “nonessential bioactive dietary chemicals derived from plants as Phytonutrients and those coming from animals or animal tissue as Zoonutrients”.
During the last four decades, we have been possibly more exposed to plant foods and to botanical ingredients, especially as we have come to better understand the valuable antioxidant properties of vegetables and fruits. However, since the 1990’s more and more scientific research has validated the wide spectrum of remarkable health benefits that our body could enjoy by the daily intake of arguably two of the most important Zoonutrients, namely : bioactive, non-denatured Whey Protein Isolate, and bioactive, unadulterated PRPs-rich (12%) first-milking Bovine Colostrum.
As food chemists and other scientists have established via laboratory research, Zoonutrients are molecular food substances - from animals or their tissues – which have demonstrated potential for modifying multiple human body functions, such as the production of beneficial bacteria, the promotion of anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory actions, as well as lowering high blood pressure levels, enhancing intestinal cells health and optimizing Immune System modulation, etc.
Our company - DOCTORS’ Wellness Factors - in its quest to provide the consumer with the finest and most comprehensive nutritional supplement in today’s market, has combined these two excellent Zoonutrients to form a formidable synergistic protein matrix, and named it “BioActivPro TM (BioActive Proteins), as per each of its bioactive components (peptides)’s important individual contributions to a better quality of health and of life.
Accordingly, this document aims to convey knowledge to the reader regarding the remarkable health benefits provided by each of these outstanding zoonutritional ingredients, and about their superfood protein combination that has paved the way for “ The Zoonutrients Health Revolution ”, and resulted in the creation of our unique and proprietary Functional Food Formula.

Our Non - Denatured Whey Protein Isolate Is The Closest
Thing to 100% Pure Protein In Its Natural (Native) State
Thing to 100% Pure Protein In Its Natural (Native) State
The term “Undenatured” when speaking of Protein, could only be applied to this macronutrient when in its purest, totally undamaged, natural occurring – conformational state, what is known as “Native Protein”, which is unaltered by heat, processing, chemicals, pH changes, enzymatic action, etc. as it is completely free of all these.
Therefore, no other protein product been processed should claim this property (to be “Undenatured”), as it is both impossible and misleading to be such, unless you’re a Native Protein.
Unfortunately, this erroneous term is been used arbitrarily and openly by many producers of whey protein when referring to their product after processing. Thus, Caveat Emptor !!, “Let the buyer beware” of this tricky situation, as it is truthfully not possible for a protein been processed to be “Undenatured”.
On the other hand, in the case of our BioActivPro TM formulation - due to its proprietary and unique, almost 99% nutrient-retaining production technique called MANPPRO TM (Microfiltration All-Nutrients Preservation Process), we are justifiably correct in calling the Whey Protein Isolate in our product as “Non-Denatured”.
Our Whey Protein Isolate is manufactured using a special cold-temperature microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane technology. The product is then gently spray dried and lecithinated (exclusively with non-GMO Sunflower lecithin) into a granular, free-flowing powder that is readily dispersible in water (or liquid).
The process results in Non-Denatured Whey Protein Isolate, as it is never damaged by any of the aforementioned production processes (heat, alkali or acid pH changes, chemical additions, etc.), thus keeping almost intact – almost to perfection - the full biological activity of its peptides (protein sub-fractions) most delicate bio-active components, which are directly responsible for many of its health-benefiting contributions to the human body. It also avoids over-processed denatured Whey’s sandy/rancid-tasting.
This makes our Purest Grade, Non-Denatured, Bio-Active Whey Protein Isolate (the principal and nutritional-base ingredient in our product), the closest thing to 100% Pure Protein in its natural-occurring (native) conformational state.

What Is Whey Protein
It is one of the two proteins found in milk (the other is Casein).
Its history resembles that of the “ugly duckling” becoming “the beautiful swan”, as Whey Protein has gone from being (just two decades ago) the waste product of cheese-making to being one of today’s most sought-after functional food (Zoonutrient) products in the market, as per its remarkable and plentiful nutritional and overall health-benefiting value to humanity.
It first became a popular nutritional supplement as the best source of good protein among bodybuilders and athletes in general, but now its well-gained reputation, as arguably the healthiest and most complete of all foods available in today’s market, has gained it widespread use-support among people of all ages.
Whey proteins refer to the group of protein fractions that separate out from the Casein during cheese-making. Depending on the purpose for its utilization, these protein fractions are purified at different levels of concentration that go from its lowest as simply Whey Powder (11% to 15% protein), to the most commonly used Whey Concentrate (25% to 89% protein), and reaching its very finest stage of purification and quality as Whey Protein Isolate (“the beautiful swan”, remember !!) at over 90% pure protein – like the one exclusively utilized in the processing of our BioActivPro TM - proprietary formulation.

Let’s Get Acquainted with Whey Protein Isolate and the Special Nutrient-Retaining Process of Our Formulation
Whey Protein Isolate is state-of-the-art , crème-de-la-crème protein, it’s Nature’s nutritional powerhouse, let’s learn why.
There’s a huge difference in quality between proteins, they’re definitely not equal. In terms of biological value, Whey Protein Isolate is an outstandingly superior protein. By weight and quality, WPI is over 90% pure protein, much purer than the commonly used concentrate. It is highly digestible, allowing it to be absorbed and assimilated much faster by our body. Despite its high purification, and thanks to our proprietary, non-denatured, low temperature, nutrient-retaining technique called MANPPRO TM (Microfiltration All-Nutrients Preservation Process), we’re able to safeguard almost to perfection (close to 99% non-denatured) its wide spectrum of highly-beneficial protein fractions’ bioactive properties.
Through this special production process, we are able to separate and remove - almost completely - those specific components considered undesirable for consumers’ health such as lactose, fat, ash, and cholesterol. However, we simultaneously exert extreme care in handling the whey with low temperature filtering via our proprietary technique so that the important bioactive elements (protein sub-fractions) found in the product are not damaged and are allowed to remain in an almost perfect (99%) non-denatured intact – state. These components (listed below) will support muscle mass enhancement, boost energy via a more efficient metabolism, and - last but not least – help us attain a more efficient overall Immune System function.

Whey Protein Isolate’s Is The Absolute Leader in Biological Value (BV) Among All Protein Sources
It’s very important to understand the nutritional superiority of Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) among all protein sources for our consumption, and the scientific data confirms this fact.
In terms of Biological Value (BV), which refers to how well and how quickly the human body utilizes the protein that it consumes, Whey Protein Isolate leads the way - galloping - with the highest Biological Value (BV) rating at 154, while been distantly followed by Whey Protein Concentrate with 104 BV, Eggs with 100 BV, Milk with 91 BV, and Beef with 80 BV.

Whey Protein Isolate : The Best Source of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), Which Are Essential For Muscle Growth and Repair
Maintaining adequate amounts of Protein in muscles and organs is essential to Life, and Muscles play a vital role in supporting overall health and wellness, not only during our younger years but also as we advance in age.
Growing, keeping and repairing our muscles is critically important for our good overall metabolic health (including the much needed sensitivity to both Insulin and Leptin), as well as for our weight management, our bone strength and for enhancing our resilience to stress and disease.
Accordingly, for this essential purpose of producing enough Protein for our needs, the human body utilizes its building blocks - called Amino Acids, of which there are 21 common amino acids officially recognized by science, consisting of 12 nonessential and 9 essential amino acids.
Among these 9 essential proteinogenic amino acids, there are three (3) called Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) – named like this as per their molecular structure – that importantly make up to 75% of our body’s total muscle tissue. The names of these key muscle-building and muscle-repairing BCCAs are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine.
And it’s extremely important to say that Whey Protein Isolate is the very best source of Protein and of BCAAs available to humans at all ages.

Whey Protein Isolate’s Other Valuable Health - Benefiting Components
Our formulation preserves - via its unique processing technique* - all of the bioactive whey protein sub-fractions, such as Beta-lactoglobulin, Alpha-lactalbumin, Immunoglobulins (mostly IgG, with IgA and IgM), Bovine Serum Albumin, Glycomacropeptide, Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxidase, and Lyzozyme.
Regarding Beta-lactoglobulin, we must point out that this is the most abundant component in whey protein (50% to 75%), being rich in the trio of amino acids which specialize in enhancing muscle mass and energy boosting called BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids), namely Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. As to Alpha-lactalbumin, it’s important to know that this is the second most abundant whey protein component (12% to 24%), being high in essential amino acid Tryptophan, which has been found to help sleep better and improve mood under stress as well as helping control cravings, thus an aid for appetite control, so important for weight management. This component is also capable of binding mineral Calcium, and is the most abundant protein in the composition of human breast milk.
Up to 15% of whey protein is composed of important Immune System-protective Immunoglobulins and of Bovine Serum Albumin, rich in Glutathione’s most potent precursor - Cysteine.
Meanwhile, glycoprotein Lactoferrin (found in both Whey and Colostrum) is also a Cysteine-rich sub-fraction, thus it’s not only a good promoter of powerful antioxidant Glutathione but also possesses important anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and immuno-modulating properties of its own. And to round up this brief look at this large number of health-giving protein fractions found in whey, there’s also one called Glycomacropeptide, which besides helping to inhibit the formation of dental cavities , is also another nutritional asset for controlling appetite.
It is a complete protein as it contains all the amino acids utilized via digestion and nutrient assimilation by our organism for the building and regeneration of every single cell in our body (muscles, blood, bones, cartilage, skin, hair, etc.). Additionally, it offers the consumer one of the highest concentrations of the remarkable muscle tissue-builders and energy-boosting Branched Chain Amino Acids trio (BCAAs : Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine), that’s close to 25% of its total amino acid contents.
Furthermore, via our proprietary bioactive protein fractions - preserving processing technique (previously described) – our formulation may provide a wide range of health-enhancing properties, such as : Antioxidant (that neutralize harmful Free Radicals), Anti- Viral / Anti-Bacterial, Hypolipidemic (lowering bad cholesterol and triglycerides), Anti-Hypertensive (lowering High Blood Pressure), plus becoming our Liver’s best detoxifying agent, as well as it strongly improves our foremost-important Immune System function.

Whey Protein Isolate Is The Quintessential Enhancer of Glutathione, Our Body’s Master “LifeProtecting and Extending” Antioxidant
As we’ll learn about it in full detail by reading the section of this handbook, entitled “The Master Antioxidant GLUTATHIONE, Our Body’s Best Defense Against Oxidative Stress, Arguably The Culprit of Chronic Disease and Premature Aging” – this extraordinarily beneficial Antioxidant which resides in nearly all our body living cells, and according to lead scientists, vital for human life, is obtained by us in an efficient (bioavailable), abundant way by daily consuming Whey Protein Isolate.
Glutathione (GSH) is one of the only three naturally-occurring, endogeneous Antioxidants in our body (the others are Catalase and SOD or Superoxide Dismutase), and is known as a tri-peptide , that is, a small protein molecule composed of 3 amino acids, namely : Cysteine, Glutamate, and Glycine called GSH precursors (building blocks).
Each serving of non-denatured Whey Protein Isolate provides an abundant provision of all these three amino acids that comprise Glutathione (GSH), thus making it a premier functional food source of this utmost important Antioxidant.

Getting To Know
First Milking, PRPs-rich (12%)
Bovine (Cow) Colostrum Powder,
The Immune System - Balancing
Hero Zoonutrient In Our Formulation
Colostrum is one of Nature’s most important functional foods, called a Zoonutrient as it is a natural secretion produced by the mammary glands of all mammals that is intended for ingestion by the newborn during the first hours of life. When the cow gives birth, its mammary glands provide its calf this special non-milk, concentrated fluid (full of immune system - supporting factors) called Colostrum.
Via Colostrum the mother can pass on her complement of antibodies to her newborn through a process called “Passive Transmission of Immunity ”. However, different from other mammals, bovine species (cows) do not pass the required biologically active substances in Colostrum cross the placenta ; instead, these nutritional components remain in the mammary gland (udder) and must be conveyed to the calf by suckling during the early hours of its life. As such, BioActive first milking - Bovine Colostrum (the most unique of all mammalian colostrums) collected as soon as possible - and definitely not more than within the first 6 hours - after the calf is born, is a unique, concentrated resource for a wide variety of highly beneficial biologically active substances. Accordingly, after the first 6 hours (of the calf’s birth) the Colostrum collected is of much lower quality in bioactive components and as is known as “ transitional “.

Loaded with over 95 immune factors and 87 growth factors, first-milking-BioActive Bovine (cow) Colostrum in BioActivPro TM is Mother Nature’s
“first whole food”. It is 99% identical to human colostrum but contains abundantly more beneficial health-promoting factors than what any human mother may produce !!
“first whole food”. It is 99% identical to human colostrum but contains abundantly more beneficial health-promoting factors than what any human mother may produce !!
It supports the activation and maintenance of a fully functional, well-balanced Immune System capable of efficiently and effectively combating potential insults (such as sinus, flu and ear infections, etc.) from microorganisms and other deleterious sources. Ample clinical research evidence reports Colostrum’s health benefits that range from Immune System – enhancement, increased energy and resistance to disease, all favorable conditions that lead us to attaining overall wellness.
Evidence demonstrates that Bovine Colostrum contains growth factors that stimulate cellular growth and DNA synthesis (Kishikawa et al., 1996), and as might be expected with such properties, makes for a very relevant choice as an efficient sports energy production–enhancing nutritional supplement.
Additionally, the frequent use by strength/power athletes of this protein supplement as an ergogenic aid (that is, a substance that enhances an individual's energy use, production, or recovery.) has become common. Oral supplementation of Bovine Colostrum has been demonstrated to significantly elevate insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) (Mero et al., 1997) and enhance lean tissue accruement (Antonio et al., 2001; Brinkworth et al., 2004).
It is also of utmost importance to understand that the first milking- Bovine Colostrum – like the 6,000 mg (six grams) the consumer receives in each full serving of BioActivPro TM - is a first-milking Bovine Colostrum that is also compatible with almost any species and can readily convey its full benefits - of PRPs (Proline-Rich Polypeptides), nutrients, growth factors, antibodies and other important bioactive components - to humans by routine dietary supplementation. Let’s learn more about it.
BioActivPro TM Provides Us With 6 Grams of Bioactive,
First-milking, PRPs-rich(12%)Bovine Colostrum Powder
Per Full Daily Serving (of 2 sachets)
First-milking, PRPs-rich(12%)Bovine Colostrum Powder
Per Full Daily Serving (of 2 sachets)
Our unadulterated, first milking Bovine Colostrum Powder contains a minimum of twelve percent (12%) PRPs. This is 4 to 40 times the level of PRPs found in most bovine colostrum powders.
PRPs are the most important component in Colostrum because of their immune balancing function. Although the Immunoglobulins (antibodies) in Colostrum are important, too much attention is placed on the importance of the IgG level of Bovine Colostrum. IgG levels are not as important as the PRP levels.
PRPs - also known as COLOSTRUM PEPTIDES - naturally support balance in the immune system, either supporting a weakened immune system or helping to balance an overactive immune system - either of which can make you unwell. Especially useful for allergies, auto-immune conditions, bacterial and viral infections.
PRP's are highly anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-bacterial and can shift a general immune response to be more effective and specific. They can be nutritionally-useful to help balance either an underactive or an overactive immune system, and may assist the human body in conditions such as :
• Allergies
• Autoimmune conditions
• Bacterial/viral/fungal infections
• Low immunity
• Prevention and treatment for colds and flu
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Chronic long-standing infections
By taking a good daily dose (between 3 to 6 grams) of our PRPs-enhanced Bovine Colostrum powder, as found in our BioActivPro TM formulation, the body obtains the instructions for a well-balanced immune system, as the body shall also produce a considerable amount of Immunoglobulins per day in an adult.
However, it’s relevant to note that supplementing with oral IgG or Immunoglobulins is not as important as having a well-balanced immune system with higher PRP levels in the body. PRPs are non-toxic and they occur naturally in the human body and other mammals.
In the production of our Bovine Colostrum powder, a proprietary Liposomal Encapsulation Technology has been implemented, in order to protect these delicate proteins against stomach acids, bile, and other digestive enzymes so they are delivered into the small intestine where absorption of the PRPs occurs. It is made soluble in water using a non-GMO Sunflower Lecithin.

Its Antioxidant Properties
Bovine Colostrum also contains antioxidant enzymes which reduce the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and strong oxidizers typically present in Colostrum as a result of normal biological processes. Certain leukocytes in Colostrum (polymorphonuclear neutrophils, phagocytic monocytes) generate bacteriocidal ROS 12 (superoxide) and strong oxidizers (hydrogen peroxide) as a part of normal cellular mediated immunity. Bovine colostrum contains the enzymes Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), and Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px) (Przybylska, Albera et al. 2007).
How do PRPs (Proline-Rich Polypeptides) work for us ?
The inflammatory response consists of a complex series of events in which the body mobilizes its defenses to the site of the infection. PRPs are involved in that mobilization effort as well as controlling the production of immune proteins by immune cells.
PRPs stimulate the production of leukocytes (white blood cells) which are a principal component of the inflammatory response. PRPs increase the permeability of the blood vessels in the skin allowing immune cells and antibodies to enter the tissue space to fight off the infection.
PRPs stimulate natural killer (NK) cells, which are a specialized type of hunter-killer lymphocytes. They are the first responders in case of an infection and will attack and destroy anything they encounter that is not identified as “self.”
Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs) function as signaling peptides produced by activated macrophages and activated T-cells that control the production of all cytokines. These naturally occurring peptides are found throughout the body and are the main regulators of cell protein synthesis. PRPs are also often called info-peptides, info-proteins, or cytokine precursors.
PRPs have the unique ability to modulate the immune system, increasing its activity level in the case of a challenge, such as an infection or a wound, and decreasing its activity level when the challenge is controlled. When an infection is detected by scout immune cells, chemical signals go out to mobilize other cells to come to the defense and fight off the infection. PRPs are one of the primary signals to go out at this time.
And later, when the infection has been contained, PRPs are again one of the primary signals to call down the inflammatory response to the infection.
PRPs stimulate the production of leukocytes (white blood cells) which are a principal component of the inflammatory response. PRPs increase the permeability of the blood vessels in the skin allowing immune cells and antibodies to enter the tissue space to fight off the infection.
PRPs stimulate natural killer (NK) cells, which are a specialized type of hunter-killer lymphocytes. They are the first responders in case of an infection and will attack and destroy anything they encounter that is not identified as “self.”
Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs) function as signaling peptides produced by activated macrophages and activated T-cells that control the production of all cytokines.

For Athletes : How Important Is Colostrum Daily Supplementation
Among the plethora of health benefits obtained from Colostrum, we must importantly point out that Athletic Performance, Endurance and Recovery may all be improved by daily taking the substantial amount of the Bovine Colostrum powder that you’ll find in this nutritional formulation. Athletes have used Colostrum in an attempt to improve their performance, decrease recovery time, and prevent sickness during peak performance levels. (Hofman, Z.; Smeets, R.; Verlaan, G.; Lugt, R.; Verstappen, PA. (Dec 2002), and "The effect of bovine colostrum supplementation on exercise performance in elite field hockey players". Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab. 12 (4): 461–9) and (Buckley, JD.; Abbott, MJ.; Brinkworth, GD.; Whyte, PB. (Jun 2002). "Bovine colostrum supplementation during endurance running training improves recovery". J Sci Med Sport. 5 (2): 65–79).
As we mentioned before, a large number of strength/power athletes have discovered this protein supplement as an ergogenic aid (that is, a substance that enhances an individual's energy use, production, or recovery) , as oral daily supplementation with Bovine Colostrum has been demonstrated to significantly elevate insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) (Mero et al., 1997) and enhance lean tissue accruement (Antonio et al., 2001; Brinkworth et al., 2004).
Thus, athletes of all ages and at all performance levels (from the amateur high school track-and-field runner to the highest paid elite athletic performer), may improve their stamina, endurance and lean muscle mass with our highest-quality powdered Bovine Colostrum.
By daily supplementing with our PRPs-rich (12%) Bovine Colostrum powder, Athletes may not only enhance Recovery Post Workout (thus decreasing possible physical-limitating soreness) , but also may improve Overall Athletic Performance (based on strength and speed – including lifting, running, jumping and cycling), while additionally Gaining Lean Mass Body Composition and considerably Boosting Natural Energy Level.
Definitely, daily supplementation with the top-quality Colostrum found in BioActivPro TM may be highly beneficial for Athletes, Bodybuilders and Adults of All Ages.

As Defense Against Age-Related Neurocognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s Disease **
Components of Bovine Colostrum have been shown to play a role in mitigating age-related depression, cognitive decline and dementia, especially Alzheimer’s Disease.
Serotonin levels often decline with age, and tryptophan levels affect the brain’s ability to synthesize serotonin. Increasing dietary intake of tryptophan relieves depression and stress in people highly vulnerable to stress. Alpha-lactalbumin increases the plasma ratio of tryptophan which in turn, increases brain serotonin activity, reduces cortisol concentration, improves coping ability, and improves mood under stress.
Chronic stress, hypothesized as a contributing factor for low brain serotonin levels, has been associated with poor memory performance. Studies show that alpha-lactalbumin significantly improved memory test performance in stress-compromised individuals. Colostrum’s protective effect against various age-related diseases, including neurocognitive disorders, is also due to the ability of alpha-lactalbumin to boost glutathione levels.
Proline-rich Polypeptides (PRPs), also termed Clostrinin, in colostrum enhance the defense against oxidative stress, prevent beta-amyloid aggregation, and decrease expression of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, thereby attenuating inflammatory processes that precede Alzheimer’s diseases. PRPs are likely the most promising treatment identified to date.
Research has shown that PRPs improve the mental functioning of Alzheimer’s patients with mild to moderate dementia. This suggests a role for bovine colostrum in the early stages of cognitive decline; the prospect of delaying the onset and even reversing the disease process is good news for patients and their families. By 2025, the number of Americans age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease is estimated to increase by 40 percent, and without any efficacious treatment or any new pharmaceutical breakthroughs, the numbers will continue to rise as the population ages.
