Mechanism

First milk containing immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), lactoferrin, growth factors (IGF-1, TGF-beta), and proline-rich polypeptides. Seals gut barrier, modulates immune function, enhances mucosal immunity, and supports muscle recovery via growth factors.

Contraindications

  • Dairy allergy
  • Milk protein sensitivity

Mechanism

Odd-chain saturated fatty acid identified as essential. Strengthens cell membranes by integrating into phospholipid bilayer, activates AMPK and PPAR-alpha/delta, and inhibits mTOR. Repairs mitochondrial function. Epidemiologically associated with reduced cardiometabolic disease.
