- Product Highlights
- Muno-IgY™ supports a healthy immune system through passive immunity.
- Clinical study demonstrated improved immune function with a 60% reduction in duration, severity and incidence of URTI.
- Contains specific antibodies to certain detrimental pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, H pylori, and gliadin protein.
- There is a long history of using IgY to support healthy human immune systems.
- IgY has several benefits compared to human and other mammalian antibodies like IgG, primarily IgY does not trigger the complement immune system.
- Muno-IgY™ is produced from a proprietary technology to isolate the IgY resulting in greater concentration and effectiveness, and less volume.
- Muno-IgY™ Difference
- The only yolk-based antibody product derived from a unique manufacturing process resulting in a 35% purity compared to 1% or less for whole egg powder based products.
- Higher purity allows for greater efficacy while providing longer shelf life.
- High purity allows for a smaller volume of ingredients used in finished products.
- Combines well with other ingredients such vitamins, minerals, herbals, probiotics and prebiotics to create unique products and synergistic offerings.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Mechanisms of Action
When ingested, IgY can help bolster the gut and hence the immune system by targeting and neutralizing pathogens, providing passive immunity and potentially enhancing overall health.
Protective Coating: IgY antibody proteins blanket the GI tract.
Pathogen Patrol: Binds & blocks invaders, ensuring they are expelled.
Functional Kin: Shares traits with Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG).
Unique Edge: Unlike IgG, IgY does not bind to Protein A, G, or cellular Fc receptors.
