What is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the fluid manufactured by the body prior to the production of mother's milk during the first 24-48 hours after birth. Research has shown that Colostrum has powerful life-supporting immune and growth factors that insure the health and vitality of the newborn. It brings the body into a natural state of equilibrium called "homeostasis", vital to health and well being. While supporting healthy immune function, Colostrum also enables us to resist the harmful effects of pollutants, contaminants and allergens. In addition, the growth factors in Colostrum enhance the ability of a healthy organism to burn fat, build lean muscle mass and rejuvenate skin and cellular structure.

How does colostrum work?
Colostrum is highly beneficial in the unique manner in which it provides the body with numerous immune factors. According to medical research, the presence of a wide spectrum of immunoglobulins, antibodies, and potent immune and growth factors found in Colostrum, offers tremendous therapeutic potential for overall health and wellness. Studies show that Colostrum has the unique ability to support normal cell growth and tissue repair, yielding exciting, new possibilities for system-wide rejuvenation. Aging and illness occur with the gradual loss of immune and growth factors in the body after maturity. The onset of almost all infection and degenerative disease, is preceded or accompanied by lowered immune system function. Colostrum contains powerful immune factors (immunoglobulin, lactoferrin, cytokines, etc.) that work to restore optimal immune functioning. Colostrum also contains PRP, shown in clinical studies to both enhance an underactive immune system and balance an overactive tendency. Doctors recognize that most pathogens enter the body through the mucous membranes in the bowel, then through to the intestinal tract. The majority of antibodies and immunoglobulins in Colostrum are not absorbed, but remain in the intestinal tract where they attack these pathogens before they can penetrate the body's defenses.
