Abstract
Dietary supplement compositions for promotion and maintenance of good health and immune system support. Defined nutritionally effective amounts of colostrum, lactoferrin, pectin and β-glucan, are used in various inventive compositions as dietary supplements. The dietary supplement compositions may include other non-toxic nutrients including a complex of essential saccharides.
