TREATMENT DATABASE

Probioplex is a whey-derived product that concentrates the active globulin (immune) proteins in cow milk. It is a source of secretory IgA, the immunoglobulin found in mucosal secretions. Secretory IgA is produced in the mucous lining of the intestines and is essential both for maintaining the gut barrier and for "tagging" unfriendly organisms in the gastrointestinal tract. Probioplex is generally used in the treatment of leaky gut, ulcers, and damage to gut mucosa. Secondary benefits include increased immune system efficiency, reduction of yeast overgrowth, and control of enteric viral and bacterial infections.

USES IN ME/CFS. Probioplex is recommended for treating digestive tract problems, particularly leaky gut, irritable bowel syndrome, gas, and food sensitivities. It may serve as a substitute for L-glutamine for those who cannot tolerate amino acids, as it performs a similar function. Probioplex also stimulates the growth of helpful bacteria in the intestines, making it a useful corollary treatment for Candida overgrowth, which is common in ME/CFS. The secondary benefits of improving immune system function are also highly relevant for patients with ME/CFS.
