Travelan is made using bovine colostrum from dairy cows which are immunised with a vaccine to produce high levels of enterotoxigenic E coli antibodies. Travelan works by binding to E coli bacteria and effectively prohibiting it from attaching to the intestinal tract and causing travellers’ diarrhoea. The specific antibodies bind to all the E coli serotypes and are not absorbed into the blood. Evedential proof of the tablets’ ability to reduce the risk of travellers diarrhoea is found in recent randomised, double blind placebo trials conducted in Europe and the US. The trials found that Travelan demonstrated protection of up to 90% aginst E coli infection. The trials also found Travelan had no reported side effects and that it also reduced the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as abdominal cramps and stomach pain.
