Bovine Colostrum Overview
Bovine colostrum is a type of colostrum that is sourced from cows. It is a rich source of antibodies, growth factors, and other immune-supporting compounds. It is also a good source of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
Bovine colostrum is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support the immune system and aid in recovery from exercise and other physical stress. It is also purported to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help to reduce inflammation in the gut and throughout the body.
Irbesartan Overview
-
Irbesartan is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It is also used to treat kidney disease caused by diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and therefore cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) and high blood pressure. Irbesartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.
-
High blood pressure is a common condition, and when not treated it can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
