Surging consumer interest in the immunity market motivated serial entrepreneur Rudy Beeck to give up his work in the pharmaceutical industry in 2009 to launch XIGO Health. This year, the company is rolling out a line of immunesupport supplements targeted to moms and their families.
The products - called Maximum Immune Def ense, Daily Immune Defense and Daily Immune Defense far Children - contain a patented combination of lactoferrin, beta glucans and L-glutamine. XIGO hired a top researcher from the University of Texas at San Antonio to head up its research department and is currently recruiting for a $150,000 clinical trial that will be conducted this year.
