WHAT IS COLOSTRUM ?  

Colostrum (nature’s perfect first food) is the pre-milk substance produced from the mother’s breasts during the first 24 hours of lactation. Colostrum supplies immune and growth factors and a perfect combination of vitamins and minerals to insure the health, vitality and growth of the newborn.  

WHY IS COLOSTRUM EXCEPTIONAL?  

As we age, we notice it takes us a little longer to fight off a cold or flu, something aches, our energy and enthusiasm have lessened, our skin loses its elasticity and gravity takes its toll on our bodies. Our focus turns to health and anti aging products and knowledge. We each balance our own vitamins, minerals and herbs.. many times unaware of dangerous doses and combinations. We’ve looked everywhere for an answer. We’ve asked plants and minerals for something they’re unable to provide because they don’t have immune systems to produce immune factors and immunoglobulins and they don’t have growth factors for muscle, skin and bone.. With killer bugs at our doorstep, we need to look to what was designed specifically for the survival of our species. Aging, illness and death occur with the loss of immune and growth factors in our bodies. Medical science has shown in hundreds of published reports worldwide that these can possibly be replaced in the human body....with bovine colostrum. 

WHY do we need colostrum as adults?  

As we age, we notice it takes us a little longer to fight off a cold or flu, we become more vulnerable to disease, our energy and enthusiasm lessen, our skin loses its elasticity, we gain unwanted weight and lose muscle tone. After maturity, we gradually lose the immune and growth factors in our body. This impacts us to search for anti-aging and health products and knowledge. We’ve looked to plants and minerals for an answer, isolating and megadosing on micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals). Recently we’ve become more aware, thanks to the media, about the dangers of this hit and miss approach. With killer bugs at our doorstep, we need to look to what was designed specifically for the survival of our species. Aging, illness and death occur with the loss of immune and growth factors in our bodies. Medical science has shown in hundreds of published reports worldwide that these can possibly be replaced in the human body....with bovine colostrum. 

Bovine colostrum is not new. In India, for thousands of years, Ayurvedic physicians and the spiritual leaders have documented the physical and spiritual health benefits from colostrum. It is dried and delivered by the milkman and is known for its healing and therapeutic ability. Scandinavian countries have been making a delicious colostrum pudding and dessert topped with honey, for hundreds of years, to celebrate the birth of calves and good health. It was used in the US as an early antibiotic that was in much favor until the discovery of penicillin and other antibiotics. 

In the late 18th Century, Western scientists began to study colostrum and document its benefits for survival, growth and development for the newborn. Today, there are thousands of published scientific and clinical studies of major health benefits associated with colostrum. 

JUST HOW DOES COLOSTRUM WORK? 

Colostrum is highly beneficial in the unique manner in which it provides the body with its numerous immune factors. Most infectious disease-causing organisms enter the body through the mucous membranes of the intestinal tract.. In order to remain healthy, it is critical that we are able to combat disease-causing organisms: bacteria, viruses, pollutants, contaminants and allergens where they attack us. Clinical research by Dr. David Tyrell, in England, in 1980, revealed that a high percentage of the antibodies and immunoglobulins present in colostrum are believed not to be absorbed but remain in the intestinal tract where they attack disease causing organisms before they penetrate the body and cause disease. The remainder are believed to be absorbed and distributed to assist in our internal defense processes. It is this combination of action that is believed to make colostrum so unique and effective as an oral supplement. 

HOW SAFE IS COLOSTRUM? 

According to Dr. Robert Preston, with the International Institute of Nutritional Research: Colostrum is safe "in fact, it is so harmless, it has been prepared by nature as the first food for infants. It would be hard to imagine any nutritional substance more natural or beneficial." Through hundreds of years of human use, there have been no reported or known contradictions, side effects or allergies with bovine colostrum. Those with lactose intolerance should have no problem consuming Bovine Colostrum. Please note, that some colostrum labels may contain whey (whey is not colostrum but a milk by-product). 

WHY BOVINE COLOSTRUM ?  

Medical research has reported that the most important immune and growth factors in bovine colostrum are not specific only to the cow and can be utilized by humans and other animals. Even more important are reports that colostrum from cows is four times richer in immune factors than human colostrum. And in important research in 1975, doctors discovered that cows colostrum contains special glycoproteins that are extremely effective at protecting the immune and growth factors in colostrum from destruction by adult human digestive enzymes (results that were later supported by human clinical trials). As one prestigious research institute stated: "Bovine colostrum offers tremendous possibilities for providing unparalleled support for the immune system that may be the deciding factor in the bodies war against illness". 

HISTORY OF COLOSTRUM 

In India, for thousands of years, Ayurvedic physicians and the Rishis have documented the physical and spiritual health benefits from colostrum. They drop colostrum in boiling water to make a candy that is popular, especially with the children. Scandinavian countries have been making a delicious colostrum pudding and dessert topped with honey, for hundreds of years, to celebrate the birth of calves and good health. 

In the late 18th Century, Western scientists began to study colostrum and document its benefits for survival, growth and development for the newborn. Today, there are 100’s of published scientific and clinical studies of major health benefits associated with colostrum.
