What is Colostrum?

Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mother's mammary glands during the first 24-48 hours after birth. It provides life-supporting immune and growth factors that insure the health and vitality of the newborn. This pre-milk substance is mother nature's perfect combination of immunoglobins, specific antibodies and broad-based immune enhancers that protect the newborn against future viruses, allergens, bacteria and toxins.

These immune factors, in addition to the "good" and desirable acidophilus bacteria present in colostrum, help give immune function a good start in the gut and helps prevent the development of gastrointestinal infection.
Colostrum also has the perfect combination of growth factors that fight disease and infection, to help the newborn grow up healthy and to heal quickly.  In humans and animals, it transmits disease immunity and stimulates normal healthy growth.  

 
The Problem

If we were not breast-fed, we may have missed the natural "seeding" -- the initial boost to our immune and digestive systems -- which colostrum provides. As well, after puberty, the amount of immune and growth factors present in our bodies begins to decline.  We are also exposed to a toxic environment, with pollutants and allergens all around us, in the food we eat and the air we breathe.  

Due to the natural decline in our immune and growth factors past puberty, that causes us to become more vulnerable to diseases and we also have a lower energy level and our enthusiasm lessens.  In our skin, we see it lose its elasticity.  We also begin to gain unwanted weight and lose our muscle tone.

The Solution

Research shows that colostrum has powerful natural immune and growth factors that bring the body back to its powerful, vital natural state of health and well-being. The immune factors in colostrum help our body to fight disease-causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts and parasites.  It also enables us to resist the harmful effects of pollutants, contaminants and allergens where they attack us.  In addition, the growth factors in colostrum create many of the positive "side-effects" of a healthy organism -- an enhanced ability to metabolize or "burn" fat, greater ease in building lean muscle mass, and greatly accelerated healing of injury or trauma.

Colostrum’s Immune Factors
The onset of almost all infectious and degenerative disease, including cancer and heart disease, are preceded or accompanied by lowered immune system function. Doctors acknowledge that most disease enters the body through the bowel. The majority of the antibodies and immunoglobulins present in colostrum's immune factors are not absorbed.  They do, however, they remain in the intestinal tract where they attack disease-causing organisms before they can penetrate the body's defenses and cause disease.

Studies have shown that colostrum is the ONLY FOOD that contains the powerful immune factors, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, leukocytes, cytokines, interferon and PRP, that the body needs to fight infection and that work to restore immune function.

PRP, polyproline-rich peptides, has been shown in medical studies to help support an underactive immune system and also balance out an overactive immune system which is present in autoimmune diseases, conditions in which the body actually attacks itself (MS, Crohn's disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sclera Derma, Lupus and allergies).

The presence of such a wide spectrum of immunoglobulins, antibodies and accessory immune factors in Colostrum offer tremendous possibilities in the prevention and recovery of illness in humans and in mammalian pets.

Colostrum’s Growth Factors

Colostrum's growth factors assist the regenerateration and acceleration of normal growth and aged or injured muscle, bone, cartilage, skin collagen and nerve tissue. Help burn fat for fuel instead of muscle tissue in times of fasting (diet). Help build and retain lean muscle. Repair our body's vital DNA and RNA. Balance and regulate blood sugar levels. Heal burns, surgeries, cuts, abrasions and mouth sores with topical application.

Control infection and pain associated with sensitive teeth and dental work. Help regulate blood glucose levels and "brain chemicals", providing alertness and better concentration. Help regulate the brain's "feel-good" chemicals (serotonin and dopamine) to brighten our moods. Colostrum has an unique ability to support normal cell growth, tissue repair and trauma healing. Colostrum provides unique new possibilities for rejuvenation.
