Why Your Colostrum Should Be
New Zealand Quality Colostrum

What is Colostrum ?

Is it a surgery? A type of cholesterol? A small Baltic nation?

No, no, and no. Colostrum is Mother Nature's first food-likely the very first nourishment you ever received as an infant. It is the nutrient-rich fluid that a mammal mother's body produces right after giving birth, and just before her milk "comes in." Colostrum is dense with antibodies, proteins, antioxidants, and essential vitamins. It's the perfect first meal for a newborn baby. It's also the perfect dietary supplement for adults and children-for the rest of their lives. In recent years, the colostrum of dairy cows has been found to benefit humans in a multiplicity of ways. The discovery of colostrum's benefits is the most important to date.

Where Does Colostrum Come From?

The idea of harvesting colostrum isn't a new one. Dairy farmers have been collecting colostrum for centuries to feed to calves that lose their mothers during the birthing process. Just like milk, colostrum flows naturally from a cow's udder. Today, it isn't just baby calves that are benefiting from colostrum collection.

Is All Colostrum the Same?

More than 20 companies currently produce products containing bovine colostrum. But the quality, purity, and safety of the colostrum, along with the methods of collection and production vary greatly. What makes the difference? Where the colostrum comes from.

The Superiority of New Zealand Colostrum

From start to finish, colostrum harvested from cows raised in New Zealand is superior to any other colostrum in the world. This is all due to the ideal grazing climate, the highly regulated ranching techniques, and a multi-million dollar investment in the equipment necessary to best process colostrum. No other colostrum can compare.
