Bovine Colostrum is the "mother's milk" taken from dairy cows
during the first 24 hours after calving. The liquid is characterized by a
high protein, immunoglobulin and antibody content, with immune and
growth factors that are highly bio-available to humans.
Colostrum is one of the most important health-giving, disease-fighting and anti-aging superfoods ever discovered.
The
life-supporting power of colostrum, backed by science is proving to be
so beneficial to human health, even the main stream medical community is
finally beginning to stand up and take notice.
Medical
professionals who are recommending this all-natural substance,
understand it is a naturally perfect combination of immune factors,
growth factors, and other components all designed to encourage a
vibrant, healthy body.
There are over 90 known components in
colostrum. The primary components, divided into two classes, are immune
factors and growth factors. Colostrum also contains a precise balance of
vitamins, minerals and amino acids. All of these factors work together
in perfect synergy to restore and maintain health.
Immune Factors
in colostrum have been shown to help the body fight off harmful invaders
such as viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus. Each factor plays a
specific role in our body's defense against these attackers. In
addition, colostrum contains over 20 antibodies to specific pathogens
including E coli, salmonella, rotavirus, candida, streptococcus,
staphylococcus, H pylori, and cryptosporidia.
In addition to
immunoglobulins, medical studies show that PRP in colostrum also
supports an under active immune system. PRP also helps balance an
overactive immune system present in autoimmune diseases.
Growth
Factors help build and restore bone, muscle, nerve tissue, connective
tissue, skin and cartilage. These factors have also been shown to help
increase lean muscle, help the body burn fat for fuel, and assist in
wound healing. Growth factors have also been shown to help slow the
signs of aging!
Colostrum's growth factors may:
1. Affect the brain's mood regulating chemicals to brighten our moods. (serotonin & dopamine)
2. Assist in regeneration and improve normal growth of aged or injured muscle, bone, cartilage, skin collagen and nerve tissue.
3. Help burn fat for fuel instead of muscle tissue in times of fasting (diet), and build & retain lean muscle (non-diet).
4. Assist the internal regulation of blood glucose levels and "brain chemicals", supporting alertness and better concentration.
5. Repair our body's precious RNA and DNA and Accelerate healing of injury or trauma.
Research indicates that Colostrum can help:
1. Support immune system function
2. Combat bacteria and viruses
3. Enhance skin and muscle rejuvenation
4. Support joint and cartilage function
5. Build lean muscle mass
6. Metabolize (burn) fat
7. Enhance mood
8. Maintain healthy intestinal flora
9. Increase strength and stamina
With all of the powerful health giving benefits of colostrum, it's a supplements you'll want to try.
