In today’s global context, where antibiotic resistance is on the rise, the need for safe and effective alternatives is becoming increasingly urgent. One of the most promising paths forward is the use of IgY — a naturally derived immunoglobulin extracted from eggs, with remarkable immunoprotective properties. ActiveImmunity, a biotechnology company based in Romania, has developed and patented a proprietary IgY technology, marking a major milestone in preventive medicine.

What is IgY?
 IgY is a specific type of immunoglobulin naturally found in egg yolk, produced by hens in response to pathogens. Through a carefully controlled immunization process, hens develop targeted antibodies, which are then transferred to their eggs. These antibodies can be extracted and purified to create formulas that support both human and animal immunity.

How does it work?
 IgY identifies and neutralizes specific bacteria, viruses, or fungi it was designed to target. Unlike antibiotics, which can disrupt the body’s natural microbiota, IgY works precisely — without harming beneficial flora and without generating resistance. This makes it safe for regular, long-term use.

Why IgY stands out:

  • Acts locally, in the oral or intestinal cavity

     

  • Does not disrupt healthy microbiota

     

  • Can be taken orally and remains active through digestion

     

  • Non-toxic and well tolerated

     

  • Versatile use: dermatology, gastroenterology, ENT, urology, nutrition, veterinary, and cosmetics

     

ActiveImmunity – Patented Romanian Innovation
 ActiveImmunity has developed a proprietary low-temperature extraction method (under 30°C) that preserves the bioactivity of the antibodies. The process is cruelty-free and enables personalized solutions depending on the targeted pathogens. In lab tests, the formulas showed a neutralization efficiency of 85% to 99%, depending on the bacterial strain.


 IgY offers a sustainable, science-backed alternative to traditional treatments like antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Through the ActiveImmunity platform, these natural antibodies are transformed into safe, functional products that support long-term health and prevention.
