FirstFood Colostrum – The First Mothers’ Care & An Immune Defense
Colostrum is a natural source of all essential components required to build the immune resistance, and to maintain and boost the function of a depressed immune system. Colostrum production is a more complex process than production of ordinary milk; the constituents of colostrum are not found in equally high concentrations in any other natural food.
Colostrum is the first food of mammals including humans that protects the newborn during the first days of life, when the child is most vulnerable. Colostrum provides a medium that carries antibodies, the hereditary factors of immunity, from a mother to her child. This supplement is produced from cow’s milk, collected in the first 36 hours after calving and processed using a special method that preserves the active ingredients of colostrum.
Cow colostrum has been proven to be a safe and biologically compatible food even for those on a dairy-free diet, because it contains the minimum concentrations of lactose and milk.
Immunoglobulins are wide-spectrum antibodies, protecting the body from bacteria, microbodies, fungi, viruses, and allergens. Colostrum contains all 5 classes of immunoglobulins: IgA (protects mucous membranes), IgD (induces production of antibodies), IgE (neutralizes allergic reactions), IgG (neutralizes viruses), and IgM (facilitates destruction of viruses and bacteria).
Interferone, lactoferrin, and interleukin are the major proteins of the immune system; these proteins stimulate immunoglobulin production and have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial activity.
Vitamins and minerals – Colostrum is a source of vitamins A, C, E, B2, B6, and B12, and minerals (iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc). Colostrum is 5-6 times richer in vitamin A and 6-7 times richer in vitamin E, than ordinary milk.
Glycoproteins protect growth factors from being digested by the stomach juices, and lactoalbumins are a source of vitally important essential amino acids, which are not produced by the body.
Colostrum is rich in enzymes: peroxidase, reductase, lipase, phosphatase, lactase, and peptidase, and it also contains lysozyme, a naturally occurring antibiotic suppressing the activity of pathogenic bacteria.
The growth factors help increase lean muscle tissue and restore DNA and RNA, promote cell divisions in the connective tissue, and help build bone and cartilage. Many athletes drink colostrum on a regular basis, because it not only stimulates muscle growth, but also activates rejuvenation processes in the body and improves overall health.
Usage:
Biological effects of colostrum:
• Marked immunoprotection;
• Immunomodulation;
• Protection and restoration of the gastrointestinal mucosa;
• Pegenerative.
