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: bacterias, viruses, pollutants, allergens and contaminants where they attack us. Clinical research by Dr. David Tyrell, in England, in 1980, revealed that a high percentage of the anti-bodies and immunoglobulins present in colostrum are believed bot 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.

Scientific studies have clearly shown that colostrum and nutrients derived from colostrum:

Colostrum is life's first food. For thousands of years, Ayurvedic physicians have used bovine colostrum for medicinal purposes. Colostrum is the golden pre-milk liquid produced by female mammals, human and animal, during the first 12 hours of lactation. It is a non-milk substance that supplies the perfect combination of immune and growth factors, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (GF-1), amino acids, with vitamins and minerals to insure the health, vitality and growth of the newborn. The newly acquired cells in colostrum eventually replicate by "cloning" and provide long-term protection to the offspring. As we grow older and our bodies' natural immune factors decline from stress, aging or illness, our need for the restorative and healing properties of colostrum increases. As adults our only available source for colostrum is from other animals, and only bovine colostrum harvested from dairy cows has been shown to be safe and biologically transferable for human use.

Pure Bovine Colostrum is produced using a low temperature process that insures that constituents are not distroyed. Colostrum is collected from USDA inspected animals afterthe newborn calves have been fully fed by their mothers. pure Colostrum is laboratory tested to insure that a minimum of 15% igG is present.

Colostrum's Vital Components

• Cytokine's (Interleukin 1 and 6, Interferon Y and Lymphokines): Shown to stimulate lymph glands and the immune system. *
• Glycoproteins: These protease inhibitors are digestive vactors which have been shown to help immune and growth factors survive the passage through the highly acidic digestive system.*
• Growth Factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2; TGF_A and TGF-B): Medical studies in anti-aging/healing have shown the vital growth factors Insulin Growth Factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) and Transforming Growth Factors (TGF-A and TGF-B), nucleotides from bovine colostrum to be identified to be identical to himan in composition. Further, it has been shown that they can help stimulate normal growth, regeneration and accelerated repair of aged or injured muscle, skin collange, bone, cartilage and nerve tissues.* These factors also help stimulate the body to burn fat for fuel instead of the body's own muscle tissue in times of fasting. IGF-I, a pepetide that resembles the hormone insulin and other factors support the digestive system.*
• Immunoglobulins: Have been shown to provide a superior support the immune system.*
• Interferon: A glycoprotein produced by cells that also support the immune system.*
• Interleukin-2: A cytokine that stimulates the growth of cells that make up the immune system.*
• Lactalbumins: Research indicates tremendous possibilites that lactalbumins can be highly effective in supporting the immune system.*
• Lactoferrin: This protein has been shown to transport essential iron to red blood cells.*
• Lysozyme: A protein, which is, thought not to be digested but to persist in the gastrointestinal tract to support healthy bacteria.*
• Oligosaccharides: A carbohydrate component that allows proliferation of healthy intestinal bacteria.*
• PRP (Proline-Rich Polypeptide): Shown to possibly support and regulate the thymus gland, it may help calm an overactive immune system and stimulate an underactve system.*
