About Tamarack Biotics
Tamarack Biotics was founded in 2011 to research the effects of a novel low temperature drying technology on raw milk proteins. The company subsequently partnered exclusively with BioSafeLight, an opaque liquid UV purification equipment supplier. Together, Tamarack and BioSafeLight developed a process that exceeds the safety standards achieved by thermal pasteurization. Tamarack recently received FDA affirmation that its UV process meets the pasteurization requirements for raw skim milk used in the manufacture of protein concentrate powder products, including MPC, WPC, Lactoferrin and other products. We are currently working on global approval.
UV pasteurized products retain the immune active proteins and other thermally sensitive compounds that traditional thermal pasteurization destroys. UV pasteurized products retain >93% of the immune active proteins found in raw milk. Independent testing found that thermally pasteurized milk products contain only 8%.
A UV pasteurized MPC 85 product was recently tested against other MPC 85 products and demonstrated 20 to 48 times the concentration of complement proteins and 5.7 to 7.5 times the concentration of antibacterial proteins. Similar results have been obtained with WPC 80, Colostrum and other whey products.
Multiple clinical trials have been completed, started or planned to demonstrated UV pasteurization’s benefits for:
- Elderly vaccine response
- Childhood Asthma, eczema and allergy prevention
- Microbiome immune function
- Athletic performance and recovery
