• Enzymes: Can help with digestion, but they don’t specifically fight harmful bacteria.
• Probiotics: Using probiotics to prevent diarrhea is debated because there aren’t enough well-controlled studies to prove their effectiveness.
• Travelan® works in several ways to keep your gut healthy:
  • Bovine colostrum (from cow’s milk) has properties that fight bacteria.
  • The antibodies in Travelan® target the main bacteria that cause diarrhea.
  • Some parts of bovine colostrum may help reduce inflammation.
  • Other components in it may also support gut health.

No. Travelan® is a drug-free dietary supplement made with antibody-rich bovine colostrum. It is not an antibiotic.

Take Travelan® as directed on the product label before meals when traveling. Pack it before you leave so it is available when you need it.

Travelan® is taken before meals to help protect against traveler’s diarrhea.* It is not intended to treat diarrhea after symptoms begin.

Take soon after eating or drinking, although it may not work as well. You can take extra caplets for added protection, like when snacking between meals or if circumstances suggest an increased risk of infection.

Travelan® cannot “cure” diarrhea, but it can help you recover faster and make the symptoms less severe, keeping your gut healthier. In clinical trials, Travelan® was shown to significantly reduce how bad the symptoms are if you get traveler’s diarrhea.

Travelan® is not known to cause any interactions with other medications. It works in the digestive system without being absorbed into the body. However, if you have questions about how it might affect specific medications, it’s best to talk to your doctor.

Travelan® may be taken when there is concern about exposure to diarrhea-causing bacteria, whether traveling internationally or within the United States. Always follow the product label.

No. Travelan® should be used along with good hygiene and careful food and water choices while traveling.

The medicinal ingredient in Travelan® is select bovine colostrum powder (200mg) enriched with anti-E.coli antibodies. Travelan® is anti-microbial. It is not an antibiotic and will not cause antibiotic resistance.

Travelan® contains cow’s milk protein and lactose, so people with an allergy to bovine protein or lactose intolerance are advised not to take it.

The non-medicinal ingredients of Travelan® include croscarmellose, sodium, glucose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and colloidal silicon dioxide.

Travelan® does not contain colorings, flavorings or artificial coatings.

Yes. Travelan® contains cow’s milk proteins and lactose. Review the product label before taking Travelan®.

Each caplet has 50mg of glucose.

Travelan® is gluten free.

Travelan® is suitable for ages 12 months and up. The caplets can be easily broken in half or crushed into a powder for easier administration.

Travelan® is not indicated for use by pregnant women and has not been tested in pregnant women.

Yes, Travelan® contains cow’s milk proteins and lactose. It has less than 10% lactose, much lower than skim milk powder. Each caplet has 12mg of lactose, so three caplets a day provide 36mg, which is below symptom-causing levels. However, those with a milk allergy may still react.

A Controlled Human Infection Model, or CHIM, is a type of clinical study in which carefully screened adult volunteers are exposed to a specific pathogen under controlled conditions and close medical supervision. This allows researchers to directly compare outcomes between participants receiving the active product and those receiving a placebo.

The Travelan® studies used three important methods designed to reduce bias:

• Randomized: Participants were randomly assigned to the active or placebo group.
• Double-blind: Neither the participants nor the researchers knew who received the active formulation until the results were analyzed.
• Placebo-controlled: Results from participants receiving the active formulation were compared with results from participants receiving an inactive placebo.

Clinical research evaluates a product in human participants. Laboratory research examines its ingredients or biological activity under controlled test conditions. Laboratory findings can help explain how a product may work, but they do not prove that the same outcome will occur in people.

ETEC stands for Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. ETEC is a type of E. coli and a common bacterial cause of traveler’s diarrhea.

Travelan® is made from select bovine colostrum enriched with antibodies that support digestive health and promote immune defense. When Travelan® is taken before a meal, these antibodies are ready to work in the digestive system. If food or water contains ETEC, the antibodies bind to the bacteria and the toxins they produce. This helps neutralize them and prevent them from attaching to the intestinal wall.*

Laboratory studies found that antibodies in Travelan® reacted with Shigella, Campylobacter and Vibrio cholerae.7 These are early laboratory findings and do not establish clinical protection against these bacteria.
