With colostrum growing in popularity, we have a responsibility to educate and inform the public about the important facts to consider about this remarkable substance. Especially, how colostrum works, how best to choose a brand of colostrum, and how best to use it for optimum health.

Colostrum supports the human organism in two main ways. First, its multiple immune factors and natural antibiotics provide strong support for the immune system. Second, its many growth factors offer a broad- spectrum boost to the organism to encourage optimum health and healing.

These graphs show the antibody activity to numerous disease causing pathogens, Each chart shows the bacteria or virus by name and shows the activity of three substances. First a skim milk from cows who where injected to create specific antibody responses for these pathogens. Next Immulac 15 which was a 15% IGG Colostrum and then regular skim milk. You can see by the charts that the Colostrum (Immulac 15) has the highest response rates. What these charts show is that the normal (not artificially created) antibody activity in colostrum is much more prominent in regular colostrum and it also shows that normally cows produce antibodies to all naturally occuring pathogens in there environment.

Colostrum is "Nature's Healing Miracle", according to prominent medical doctor Donald Henderson.

Medical Research shows that Colostrum is possibly the one supplement that can help everyone that’s ill. And the most important preventative you’ll ever find.

The most crucial step in processing colostrum for human consumption is pasteurization. The following section helps to explain exactly why this is so important in providing consumers with a product that is guaranteed to be safe and effective.

Q: Why is it important for dairy products intended for human use consumption to be pasteurized?

A: The Pasteurization Marketing Ordinance (PMO), a very important standard for milk and dairy products developed by the U.S. Public Health Service, FDA, States, municipalities and research institutions, among others, gives the following public health reasons for pasteurization:

IMMUNE FACTORS:
Medical and clinical studies show immune factors in colostrum fight Viruses, Bacteria, Yeast, Fungus, Allergens and Toxins.

IMMUNOGLOBULINS (ANTIBODIES):
Have been shown to provide a superior defense in both treatment and prevention of viral infections, bacterial infections, allergies, fungus and yeast. High quality Colostrum must be certified to contain a minimum of 18% immunoglobulins. Colostrum has been shown to contain specific antibodies to more than 19 specific disease-causing pathogens including; E. coli, salmonella, candida, streptococcus, staphylococcus, H. pylori, cryptosporidium and rotavirus.

Colostrum is highly beneficial in the unique manner in which it provides the body with its numerous immune and growth factors. Most infectious disease-causing organisms enter the body through the mucous membranes of the intestinal tract.. In order to remain healthy, it is critical that we are able to combat disease-causing organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, as well as environmental toxins, contaminants and allergens where they attack us.

WHAT DOCTORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT COLOSTRUM

When a (mammal) ... gives birth to its offspring, its mammary glands filter out of the blood the immune factors it has acquired through a lifetime of fighting disease-causing organisms. It then concentrates these factors into special non-milk immune supporting fluid called colostrum. A mother animal produces true colostrum for only the first twenty-four hours after giving birth.

Hundreds of people have reported significant life changes with the use of bovine colostrum. The reports range from weight loss, feelings of wonderful well-being, dramatic reduction and elimination of pain and suffering to near miraculous cures. The following are excerpts from some of the heartfelt stories that keep pouring in.

Effectiveness of colostrum depends on its quality, how it is sourced and processed

The CNR has identified key areas for evaluating colostrum products.

• Colostrum must be sourced from Veterinarian certified healthy, BST, BSE and antibiotic free Grade A, pasture fed, pesticide free diary cows, preferably from the sunny South Western US where cows give birth year round so that your colostrum is as fresh as possible.
• Colostrum should only be taken from the first milking (within 16 hours) after birth.
• It should then be tested to insure that all of colostrum’s components such as Immunoglobulins, Lactoferrin, PRPs and growth factors are present in high quantity and that they are bioactive to insure its effectiveness.
• It should be flash pasteurized to insure it meats FDA and USDA regulations and to destroy any possible contaminating bacteria that might be present. Colostrum should then be processed in low indirect steam drying to insure its components are not denatured (destroyed)
• The colostrum should then be tested again (after processing) by HPLC and Quadropole Mass spectrometer to insure that all of colostrum’s components are intact and bioactive, and have not been denatured by the drying and pasteurization processes.
• Colostrum needs to be standardized to minimum component contents so that when you purchase colostrum you can be assured that its components are present and biologically available.
• Colostrum should come from manufacturers that are cGMP certified and have FDA inspections and operate under USDA license to produce diary food for human consumption. And be manufactured in a plant designed specifically to produce bovine colostrum for human consumption.
• We also like colostrum to be Kosher and Halal certified.
• Lastly and most important: Colostrum also should have the added benefit of a Liposomal Enhanced Delivery (LD) system to insure colostrum will by pass digestion and be bioavailable for uptake and distribution to body organs and cellular nutrition. And, that the colostrum is soluble for free dispersion throughout the GI tract and disperses into solution readily in water, formula, and sports nutrition drinks.
