Colostrum

Colostrum, or Bovine colostrum, fosters great health and nutrition.  Where does colostrum come from?  Immediately after a cow gives birth, the mammary glands release a liquid similar to milk; this is colostrum.  Colostrum has amino acids, cytokines, vitamins, proline-rich polypeptides; all of which are important to maintaining proper nutrition and a heightened immune system!

 

Immunoglobulins (gamma globulins) are protein antibodies found in the blood and other fluids when foreign substances enter the body.  Synthesized by B-lymphocytes, they combat infection by attaching to unknown organisms in the body, preventing illness.  Lactoferrin, an antibiotic, prevents inflammation and fights invaders by enhancing the body's immune system functioning.  As an antioxidant, lactoferrin regenerates cells in the body, creating healthy tissue and enabling the immune system to focus on preventing illness.

 

As well, Colostrum aids the body in attaining components to stimulate the body's production of protein: essential amino acids (not produced by the body) and nonessential amino acids (produced by the body).  By regulating reactions of the immune system, cytokines are proteins responsible for transferring messages between cells and directing the actions of other cells.  Proline-rich polypeptides stimulate or inhibit the actions of the immune system, whether it is under active or overactive.

 

Although there is no bodily deficiency of colostrum, its effects on health will benefit all!  For best results, follow the directions printed on the label.  If you have been diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, dwarfism, HIV, hypertension, obesity or prostatitis, speak with your doctor before beginning supplementation of colostrum.
