| Colostrum What
is Colostrum? Colstrum has been called "natures first food".
It is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mother's mammary glands during the
first 36 hours after birth. It is not milk or a nutritional supplement. It is
the whole 'functional' food for the newborn - naturally occurring and in perfect
combination. Its function is to provide the basis for life. Your life.
| Colostrum supplies life-supporting immune and growth factors
and a perfect combination of vitamins and minerals to ensure the health, vitality,
and growth of the newborn. Each drop contains the promise of life: immunoglobulins,
growth factors, antibodies, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and other
special subtances designed to help the body face a lifetime of invasion by various
viruses, bacteria, allergens and toxins bent on destruction. |

Yet the onset of almost all infectious and degenerative disease, including
cancer and heart disease, is preceded or accompanied by lowered immune system
function. Colostrum is unique in nature in that it is the only complete food to
provide critical immune factors, such as immunoglobulins, leukocytes, cytokines,
lactoferrin, interferon and prolene rich peptides (PRP), that the body needs to
fight infection and restore immune function. Where
Does Colostrum Come From? The idea of harvesting colostrum isn't a new
one. Dairy farmers have been collecting colostrum for centuries to feed calves
that lose their mothers during the birthing process. Cows process more than is
required for their new calf so we just collect the excess. Bovine colostrum is
perfect because it is not species-specific so it works for us and has 10 to 20
times more immune factors than human colostrum. All
health starts from the GI tract. |
