What is Colostrum

What is colostrum and how can it help my body? A newborn (both human and animal) was protected in the womb by the mature, powerful immune system of it's mother. After birth it is surrounded by innumerable pathogens with only it's own partially developed immune system for protection. The new mother passes antibodies, growth factors and critical nutrients to the newborn in her milk to protect it and boost it's development. Research has shown that the special factors in human colostrum and bovine colostrum are the same. The key components in colostrum obtained from dairy cows (bovine colostrum) are nearly identical to the key components in human colostrum. A dairy cow produces several times more colostrum than the new calf can use. It is this excess that is used to manufacture Immune Spring Colostrum.

Bovine Colostrum is the most effective preventative supplement that humans can take. Colostrum, an all natural product, is the only single supplement that has the capacity to potentially increase energy, reduce fatigue and boost the immune system. It contains immunoglobulins, growth factors, antibodies, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids to help the body withstand the attack of micro-organisms and environmental toxins.

Most proteins are broken into amino acids by the digestive system. The special complex proteins in colostrum are engineered by nature to pass through the digestive system without molestation. They are protected by digestive enzyme inhibitors and will arrive in the blood stream intact.

A very important ingredient in colostrum is the immunoglobulin, IgF-1. It stimulates healing, muscle growth, and the production of immune cells, and increases the burning of fat. It can help the body's insulin regulate the blood sugar level. The colostrum produced by cows has ten times the amount of IgF-1 that is found in human colostrum. There are many chronic illnesses that can benefit from the IgF-1 found in colostrum. Follow the links on the left to see how colostrum can treat these conditions.

There are growth factors in colostrum that can help the body maintain itself in many ways. These stimulate the growth of muscle and aid in the healing of damage caused by wounds or disease.
