Colostrum is the life-giving, nutritional substance produced by mammal mothers at the time of birth that provides nourishment and support for the newborns immune system. It contains immune proteins, amino acids, lactoferrin, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and important growth factors. In addition to enhancing the immune system, these nutrients also stimulate cell growth and repair promoting strength and good health.
As we age, our bodies produce less of these important immune and growth factors that help us fight disease and heal damaged body tissue. Colostrum is the singular natural source of these vital nutrients.
Colostrum collected for supplementation is obtained from dairy cows. Bovine Colostrum is the only form of Colostrum that is not species specific. Unlike any other species, the cow is a "universal donor", producing Colostrum accepted by virtually all other mammals.
The immune and growth stimulating factors in bovine Colostrum are identical in molecular structure to those in human Colostrum, though at levels up to 40 times higher. This is because cows do not receive any of these vital growth and immune supporting factors through the placenta as humans do. They must all be obtained from the Colostrum. Dairy cows can produce up to six gallons or more of Colostrum, significantly more than is needed for the newborn calves. After the calves have received all they need, the balance is collected and carefully processed into powder for supplements.
Colostrum may well be the best practical protection available against auto immune disease, cancer, and other incurable conditions. It is completely natural, free of side effects,
and an excellent alternative to hundreds of drugs...
Benefits of Colostrum Supplementation
Strengthened Immunity
The onset of nearly all infectious and degenerative disease is preceded by or accompanied by lowered immune system function. Colostrum contains powerful factors that work to restore proper immune function. It helps enhance an under-active immune system or balance an overactive immune system. It helps the body combat viruses, bacteria, allergens, toxins, and yeast. Colostrum also balances intestinal flora and supports proper digestion.
Anti-Aging Growth Factors
Colostrum enhances fat utilization, burning fat for fuel rather than muscle tissue. It helps to build and retain lean muscle.
Colostrum has a unique ability to support normal cell growth and tissue repair. It may accelerate the healing of burns, cuts, and abrasions, and protects from infection. It supports healthy growth of bone, connective tissue, skin, muscle, and nerve tissue, and helps to repair DNA and RNA. It also, balances and regulates blood sugar, glucose, and "brain chemical" (serotonin and dopamine) levels.
Growth factor advantages, such as fat-burning, lean muscle building, and anti-aging properties, are increased by contact with saliva and digestive juices, making it advantageous to take Colostrum in powder form as well. Colostrum powder may also be easier for bodybuilders and others who need to take large quantities. Many bodybuilders take 5-20 grams or more. .
Colostrum can be used topically by mixing it with sterile water or saline and applying it to an affected area to help heal burns, cuts, abrasions, and mouth sores.
Yes, it is the human equivalent to the Power food. Colostrum is the clear-yellowish liquid that comes from the woman's breast immediately after she has a baby. Colostrum is full of anti-bodies, that help build and boost the child's immune system. I also heard that it helps provide good calories.
SO, if you are having issues with your immune system then colostrum would be a wonderful supplement.
