How BioPro Armour Works

BioPro Armour is a unique combination of 5 Thymic Proteins which are bioidentical to the proteins that your horse’s body creates naturally, along with Zinc and silver.

It is the job of these proteins to train the body’s immune system to effectively seek and identify diseased cells. Without these proteins, the “helper T-cells” part of your horse’s immune system remains untrained and cannot identify abnormal or infected cells for destruction by the “killer T-cells”. See Figure 1.

Thymic Proteins are often the “missing link” for many horses to overcome disease which has withstood treatment with many other immune system supplements, antibiotics and antivirals, without the detrimental side-effects.

There are no known side-effects or drug interactions with BioPro Armour Thymic Protein supplementation, due to them being 100% natural and seen by your horse’s body as biologically identical to their own Thymus Gland secretions.

Why does my horse need Thymus Proteins?

The unfortunate way that your horse’s body was designed, is that their Thymus Gland produces Thymic Proteins in the early years but, as your horse ages, this gland begins to atrophy and eventually stops producing them all together. This is often the cause of increasing susceptibility to sickness and disease in their later years.

Many owners will try to fortify their horse’s immune systems with Vitamin C, Echinacea, Garlic and many of the other well-known immune system supplements, but these mainly focus on the health of the “ beta cells” to produce Globulins. These cells perform an essential role, but are not very effective without the “Helper seeker cells” first identifying abnormal diseased cells.

Thymus Proteins are not found in food and the Thymus Gland cannot be fortified to continue to produce these proteins in your horse’s later years, or after Thymus gland damage from corticosteroids. Supplementation with BioPro Armour is the only way to replace them.

What do Thymus Proteins Help Kill?

Many pathogens, particularly viruses, remain present in your horse’s body long after recovery from the symptoms of the illness. Other mutant cells, including cancer, occur spontaneously due to certain viruses, chemicals, environmental exposure and many other causes. At any given time, there are infected cells present in your horse’s body and it is the job of the immune system to regularly seek these out and kill them.

It is when the body is overwhelmed with this task of seeking and killing diseased cells that they become sick. The mutant cells reproduce past the point that their immune system can kill them and they succumb to disease.

It is also the lack of “helper T-cells” that has been linked with immune system malfunction. Autoimmune disease happens when the body’s own immune system becomes confused as to which cells to kill and begins to kill its own healthy cells. Given that Thymus Proteins fortify the very part that aids in abnormal cell identification, replacing these proteins may help to re-balance the immune function to its optimum level.

Why BioPro Armour?

BioPro Armour is unique in that it contains not 1 Thymus Protein, but 5. Through research and clinical trials, it was discovered that 1 protein dedicated to the stimulation of immune function worked for a short time and owners found a sudden spike in their horse’s health. What became apparent was that this spike was unsustainable, as the immune system wasn’t designed to remain in this constant state of stimulation, but must have a period of suppression to achieve a natural modulation.

The addition of up to 5 Thymic Proteins regulated the immune function to best duplicate the body’s own modulation and therefore producing a long-term, sustainable immune function improvement.
BioPro Armour Ingredients

We use only purified, certified BSE-free Thymic Proteins from an animal source, usually bovine. This allows us to offer the bioidentical version of these proteins, rather than a synthetic form.

BioPro Armour also contains Zinc Gluconate, which is clinically proven to shorten the duration of infection from the common cold virus and enhances immune response.

BioPro Armour contains NanoMax Silver Solution which is well documented as having antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties to complete the Triple threat.
