What is Colostrum?

Colostrum has been called "nature's 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 insure 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 substances 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 to 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

Doctors acknowledge that most disease enters the body through the mucous membranes in intestinal gastric tract. The majority of the antibodies and immunoglobulins present in colostrum are not absorbed, but remain in the intestinal tract where they attack pathogens before they can penetrate the body's defenses. In addition, Colostrum's growth factors help heal the bowel lining, balance intestinal flora and support proper digestive function.

According to the medical research, the presence of such a wide spectrum of immunoglobulins, antibodies and accessory immune factors in Colostrum offers tremendous possibilities in the prevention and recovery of illness in humans and mammalian pets.

Side Effects?

There are no negative side effects and the growth factors produce significant positive side effects, which are:

Reduces wrinkles
Accelerates fat burning
Regulates mood swings
Balances blood sugar levels
Increases performance
Accelerates wound/tissue healing
Increases mental alertness

"Colostrum is so safe, 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."

- International Institute of Nutritional Research

Why New Zealand Colostrum?

Colostrum All colostrum IS NOT the same. From start to finish, colostrum harvested from cows raised in New Zealand is superior to any other colostrum in the world. This is all due to the ideal pure climate, pesticide, antibiotic and BSE free pasture-fed cows, highly regulated farming techniques, and a multi-million dollar investment in the equipment necessary to best process colostrum properly. No other colostrum can compare.

How do I take it?

It's simple. Healthy children and adults should take two tablets or capsules FIRST thing in the morning with a glass of water.

If you have any health concerns, you just increase the amount taken until you get results and then reduce to the maintenance level of two tablets (or capsules) a day. Use a powder if you prefer. Also good for pets.

Other points to note:

Vegetarians, including many Hindu spiritual leaders,
having been taking colostrum for centuries.
The capsules are also vegi-caps.

Colostrum is proven to improve athlete's performance
and build body mass

Non breast fed children should take colostrum to provide
the immune and growth factors breast feeding should
have provided and formula cannot.
