- Product Highlights
- Phosvitin is an incredibly bioactive protein that has never been produced in commercial quantities before.
- In peptide form, it exhibits amazing antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s metal-binding ability is un-paralleled in nature, resulting in a scientifically proven ability to increase the bio-absorption of iron and to increase bone density though conversion of calcium to bone mineral.
- Ecovatec isolates the whole protein “native” phosvitin and then processes it into its peptides while preserving their full bioactive capacity.
- EcovaPure™ PV (native phosvitin) can also be purchased for use in research.
- Raw, unhydrolyzed phosvitin (PV) which is sold for research purposes as it will bind and remove metals from the body when ingested and is not safe for general consumption.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Skin Care Applications
- Product Applications
Nutraceutical Supplements:
- Iron Supplements – increasing absorption which reduces the amount of iron required and decreases side effects (clinical studies pending)
- Calcium Supplements – increasing absorption and providing a measurable increase in bone density (clinical studies pending)
- Natural Antioxidant – fighting cardiovascular disease, carcinogenesis, aging, neurological disorders, inflammatory diseases, diabetes, and more.
Food Industry Applications:
- Add to dairy products to increase the calcium absorption upon consumption.
- Investigate novel food technology - has been tested as a lipid antioxidant in food processing systems, extending product shelf life and improving the quality of meats.
Cosmetic Uses:
- Prevents the accumulation of melanin in cells, leading to a reduction in age spots, hyperpigmentation, and potentially melanoma cancer cells
Pharmaceutical Research Potential: Phosvitin is the most highly phosphorylated protein found in nature with unique properties and is being investigated in laboratories worldwide. The full phosvitin protein is being researched for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. PV is available for laboratories to purchase for further research and testing.
- Exhibits anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and toxin-neutralizing behaviors including killing the bacteria causing sepsis, in vitro.
- Cytotoxic to liver, cervical, lung, stomach, breast and larynx cancer cells, in vitro.
