Arthritis And Auto-Immune ResponseRecent research, published in best-selling books, has shown that naturally occurring sulfur compounds like Glucosamine Sulfate have a beneficial effect on inflammation, especially that found in arthritis. Colostrum is an excellent source of these sulfur micro-nutrients, including MSM, or Methyl Sulfonyl Methane, which is also getting a lot of national attention at the moment. In fact, colostrum is one of the richest known sources of MSM. It also contains other powerful components including two of the most potent anti-inflammatory compounds known. This makes it far more powerful than the new sulfur-based remedies alone.
Colostrum also contains PRP (Proline-rich Polypeptide) a compound discovered fairly recently, which has been shown to regulate immune response. PRP inhibits over-production of T-cells and lymphocytes, which are stimulated by antigens and mitogens. It stops the progress of the overly aggressive immune respons, and thereby relieves the pain and swelling.
The synergistic combination of colostrum’s growth factors, anti-inflammatory components, PRP, sulfur micro-nutrients and other powerful immune factors creates nature’s ultimate remedy against inflammation and pain. The growth factors stimulate tissue regeneration and the sulfur micronutrients assist specifically in rebuilding cartilage and connective tissue. What’s more, colostrum, which comes from cows that eat live raw grasses, contains higher levels of these beneficial sulfur compounds. So look for colostrum which comes from pasture fed cows.
