Transfer Factor Technology
Trust transfer factor technology to optimize immune system function. While many products use single rudimentary ingredients known to aid immune health, Ramaekers Nutrition delivers the only immune support products harnessing transfer factor supported by a unique, patented blend of essential nutrients and potent nutraceuticals. For example, see our Mission.
Patented Formulas
Our patented formulas use transfer factor technology. These formulas are derived from a proprietary blend of bioactive peptides and are based on the synergistic effect of combining naturally sourced biologically active peptides (transfer factor).
These bioactive peptides are extracted from bovine colostrum and egg yolks. To clarify, this blend combines unique plant-derived heteropolysaccharides, lactic acid-producing probiotics, and highly bioavailable micronutrients. To summarize, combining these immune active ingredients allows a dramatically enhanced immune response in equine health without side effects. For example, see Bovine Products, Canine Products, Feline Products, Equine Products, and Other Livestock Products.
Unique Formulas
Our unique formulas help educate and boost the immune system for overall health and vitality. In short, immune education starts at birth and should continue throughout life with our patented products.
Ramaekers Nutrition’s products reflect a culmination of global research and clinical experience. Dr. Ramaekers is passionate about improving animal welfare. He is proud to be on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine (meet our veterinary team) and nutrition. Learn more about Ramaekers Nutrition.
Natural Pain Relievers
Dr. Ramaekers focused on replacing these nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories like Butazolodin and Banamine. To begin with, these pain relievers have many serious side effects, like bleeding ulcers. For example, see Equine Health.
With this in mind, he formulated products using natural pain relievers like curcumin, Boswellia, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitins. Most importantly, these natural products are equally effective and have no side effects.
Focusing on a mineral balance makes these products more available at the cellular level and allows joint absorption. Moreover, Dr. Ramaekers has replaced 80% of typical Western medicine pain relievers with his natural formulas.
