Medical researches and scientific laboratory tests on peptides have shown that there is still much more to learn from these amazing little chains of amino acids. These tests have evidenced immune system support by measuring improvements in a variety of key immune system parameters.

Peptides Continue to be Studied

Polyerga® Plus contains oligopeptides and polypeptides specially extracted from porcine spleen. Many porcine peptides, these tiny chains of amino acids, are identical or very close to those in humans, making spleen peptides in Polyerga® Plus capable of supporting the immune system of humans.

When the purified and concentrated peptides in the Polyerga® Plus tablets and capsules reach the intestines, they are released, and begin to find their way to support the immune system. Presently, science can not specifically track peptide movements like this throughout the body. Rather, measurable immune system parameters are used to determine their impact.

Knowledge From Testing

A wide variety ofin-vitro , in-vivo and ex-vivo laboratory tests on the peptides in Polyerga® Plus have been performed to determine what impact the peptides have in supporting the various elements of the immune system. This testing involved both normal and abnormal cells of both laboratory animals and humans.

° In-vitro testing took cells from living animals or humans and exposed them to the peptides of Polyerga® Plus outside of the body. The impact of the peptides on the cells was then measured.

° In-vivo testing allowed the interaction between cells of an animal or human and the peptides of Polyerga® Plus. The results of the reaction were then tested inside the body.

° Ex-vivo testing allowed the interaction between cells of an animal or human and the peptides of Polyerga® Plus to occur inside the body. The cells were then removed and the reaction was measured in-vitro outside the body.

The successful performance of the peptides in Polyerga® Plus has been proven in laboratory tests and clinical studies through the measurement of a number of standard immune system parameters.

• White blood cell levels
• Natural killer cell activity
• Abnormal cell growth
• Immune status under duress
• Survival rates of animals
• Cytokine release of Interleukin-2, Interleukin-3 and IFN-gamma
• And, no over-stimulation of the immune system occurred during any of the testing.
