Since the "mad cow" scare hit the headlines in Great Britain in the 1990s, and more recently in Canada and America, it is reasonable for individuals to question products derived from animal tissue…..that is a very natural reaction. However, be assured, there is no "mad cow" concern with Polyerga® Plus.

The peptides in Polyerga® Plus are classified as BSE-safe. Only spleens of porcine origin are used. According to the scientific steering committee of the EEC, pigs are classified in the same manner as poultry or fish. Infection in these groups of animals with TSE has never been observed. The complete removal of any other infectious agents (e.g. viruses) is guaranteed by the tightly-controlled manufacturing process.

Since the development of this peptide technology in the 1950s, it has been manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards in a patented process. The quality of every batch is documented by quality certificates after careful and extensive testing. Only raw materials of the highest quality delivered by selected suppliers are used. Every step of manufacturing is documented in detail to avoid any deviation from specification, and is performed considering ISO 9001-2000 protocol.

During manufacturing, distinct peptides are released from the spleen cells. After purification and concentration, unique spleen peptides are obtained which are exclusive to Polyerga® Plus.
