All the goodness of cow’s milkTravelan (active ingredient IMM-124E) is based on the natural immunity-boosting goodness of colostrum, the ‘first milk’ delivered by mummy cows to their calves immediately after birth.Lydeamore says while Immuron’s know-how is well known, it is rarely used commercially.The pregnant cow is given a vaccine to 13 different types of entero-toxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). In response, the beast produces polyclonal antibodies in the colostrum that target specific pathogens.Half the colostrum is whisked away in a bucket, spray dried and turned into tablets.Unlike other marketed colostrum, Immuron’s has a high immunoglobulin count and hyper-immune factor produced by the vaccine.Currently the colostrum is processed by Synlait in New Zealand, but the company is mulling moving production to Victoria.
