What is Colostrum?






Colostrum is literally ‘nature’s first food’. It is the pr-milk fluid that all female mammals give their newborn baby in the first few days after birth.

Colostrum is a highly complex cocktail of vital immune and growth factors that a baby needs to protect itself against the diseases it will be exposed to, and assists with the development of the newborn into a strong and healthy adult.

Human babies acquire their immunity in the womb prior to birth, receiving immune factors via the placenta. Breast feeding then provides the additional protection, which explains why breast-fed babies are generally healthier than those that are bottle fed.

Cows must provide all the immune and growth factors to their calves in the colostrum as they do not receive any while in the womb. It is not suprising therefore that a cow’s colostrum contains up to twenty times more immune factors than does human colostrum.

Because colostrum is non-species specific, it can significantly benefit all other mammals, including humans.

For centuries the colostrum taken from animals had been consumed by children and adults.

People of India have used it as a traditional remedy for thousand of years. Research over the past two decades has proven that bovine (cow) colostrum is one of the most effective nutritional supplements available for supporting the immune system. It is also well renowned for aiding tissue repair.

A complex substance, colostrum has many components, all of which have specific purposes and actions. Together they create a new ‘super food’ which can be used by just about anyone.

Note: New Image colostrum is obtained from pasture-fed cows, which only graze on peticide, hormone, antibiotic, and BSE free farmland, in New Zealand.

  1. THE SCIENCE OF COLOSTRUM
    Colostrum is a complex substance containing varying components that have specific or nonspecific nutritional benefits. There are two main ways in which colostrum supports the human organism;

    * Multiple immune factors and natural antibodies provide support for overall immunity.
    * The many growth factors in colostrum offer a broad-spectrum support to the body encouraging optimum health and healing.

    The stronger your body’s immune system becomes, the more resilient it is to invading pathogens.

    Once a pathogen enters the gut, these antibodies surround it and bind to its surface so as to prevent it adhering to the gut wall causing illness. Instead, it merely passes through the system and is expelled. The more of these natural antibodies you have, the stronger your immune system will be.

    COLOSTRUM - nature’s immunity provider
    1. Germs enter the body and make their way to the gut wall.
    2. Once attached to the gut wall, germs begin to multiply freely, causing illness and disease.
    3. The antibodies in colostrum remain in the gut, increasing your natural antibody levels. When a germ invades they attach themselves to it.
    4. Once the antibodies are attached, the germ cannot stick to the gut wall, and passes harmlessly through your system.



    The medical solution to destroying pathogens is usually pharmaceutical antibiotics. Since the introduction of penicillin in 1940, antibiotics have been hailed as the answer to all our health worries, but this is not entirely true.

    * Antibiotics only kill certain types of bacteria. They do not work on viruses or many other forms of pathogens.
    * Antibiotics generally will destroy the good bacteria in your gut as well as the bad.
    * Bacteria are developing resistance to antibiotics at an alarming speed. So much so, according to the United States Centre for Disease Control, antibiotic resistance is one of the leading threats facing the human race today.
    * Increasing numbers of people are looking for natural and effective ways to remain healthy and many may also need immune support.
    * Where does one find that safe, natural immune support? We believe that it is from colostrum - nature’s ultimate source of natural antibodies.
