ProBoost Thymic Protein A is a patented thymus extract that provides support for the immune system, increasing T-cell and B-cell levels. The thymus gland declines with age and may be close to not functioning much at all by age 40, making people more vulnerable to the effects of abnormal cells. ProBoost Thymic Protein A has been scientifically proven to do what the body's thymus can no longer do effectively.

Benefits of ProBoost Thymic Protein A:

• Boosts Immune System
• Helps Fight Bacteria and Viruses
• Increases White Blood Cells
• Increases T-Cells

Each packet contains:

• Purified Protein A….4mcg
  (freeze-dried, purified Protein A from calf thymus cell culture in a base of maltodextrin)

Suggested Use: Take one to three packets per day

What does Pro Boost Thymic Protein A do for the immune system?
Thymic protein, which is crucial to the human immune system and has been scientifically confirmed to stimulate Cell Mediated immunity. ProBoost stimulates T-4 cells to find viral and bacterial invaders, or abnormal cells, and to contact T-8 killer cells to destroy them. It contains over 500 amino acids, comprising the entire protein molecule.

White Blood Cells and T-Cells
A recent study, “Improved Immune Activation Markers in CFIDS Patients Treated with Thymic Protein A,” involved giving a group of CFIDS patients thymic protein A. The patients took three packets daily for 90 days. The study showed an overall significant increase in total white blood cell counts. 70% manifested this increase, despite the fact that only one patient had a below normal count. In fact, levels of the T suppressor cell phenotype showed a mean increase from 25.9 to 36.3. This T-cell, which decreases with CFIDS, is one of the major diagnostic markers. In the patients who had measurable levels of these T-cells, 65% experienced an increase in this key marker.

How ProBoost Works
The thymus gland, the master organ of the immune system, produces T-cells, essential to fighting destructive immune system invaders. As we age, the thymus gland shrinks, leaving only the remnants of thymic protein stimulation, and significant deterioration in the immune system. The single protein contained in ProBoost supports thymus activity by increasing the production of T-4 lymphocytes. ProBoost stimulates T-4 white helper cells to locate viral and bacterial invaders, or abnormal cells, and to dispatch T-8 killer cells to destroy them. ProBoost contains over 500 amino acids, comprising the entire protein molecule.

All other existing thymus products are not biologically active, because they contain only fragments of the entire thymic protein necessary to stimulate T-4 cells. Fragmented proteins will not "fit" into the receptor site of the T-4 cell, and therefore will not program it as ProBoost does.

Dr. Teitelbaum’s Comments on ProBoost
“Recently, a technique was discovered (and patented) for producing the pure, natural Thymus hormone (ProBoost) from cell cultures. Studies previously suggested that this hormone could help augment the immune system in viral infections (e.g., Hepatitis C, AIDS)…many physicians are finding that in CFIDS patients with persistent viral, yeast, bowel or other infections, using thymic hormone has been very helpful. I've found that using it even for 2 to 3 days at the onset of an infection can drastically shorten the length of the infection and often stops it on the first day. -Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., author of From Fatigued to Fantastic.
