Colostrum is also known as MOTHER’S MILK, or IMMUNE MILK
Colostrum is a unique natural secretion produced at the beginning of lactation and designed by Nature to provide nutrition, growth factors and protection against disease to the newborn. Over the decades, it has been discovered that colostrum offers a wide spectrum of general health benefits for adults ranging from an enhancement of immunity to the improvement in physical fitness.

Cows, or ’Bovine’ Colostrum is virtually identical to that of humans and, in fact, contains a higher percentage of some of the more beneficial peptides, making colostrum a great health benefit that humans can derive from cows. The goal of this web site is to provides as much as possible reliable information about Bovine Colostrum and its applicability to human health.

The past 20 years has witnessed the publication of over 2000 research papers strongly supportive of both colostrum and its numerous components. 

Fore example, Colostrum has antioxidant properties, natural anti-inflammatory properties and is a source of many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids. Bovine colostrum rebuilds the immune system, helps the body ward off foreign invaders, accelerates healing of all body tissue, increases bone and lean muscle mass and replenishes an aging system.

There are five classes of immunoglobulins found in all mammals (including humans) which begin with the abbreviation "Ig" and are distinguished with the capital letters A, D, E, G and M. Each class has its own unique amino acid chain structure, specific function and ability to attach to, penetrate, destroy or immobilize a specific antigen. Colostrum contains all five Immunoglobulins. IgA is found in blood serum, and especially in saliva, tears and the mucous membranes of the respiratory and GI tract where most invading organisms make their first contact with the human body. IgG is the most abundant immunoglobulin found in bovine colostrum. It is carried in the lymphatic and circulatory systems where it helps to neutralize toxins and other unwanted invader. IgD and IgE are highly antiviral and IgM is a powerful bacterial fighter.

In addition to Immunoglobulins, the most important components of colostrum can basically be broken down into four major categories: growth factors, immune system factors, cytokine precursors or Proline-Rich Polypeptides, and nutritional components.
