News & Research:

• Colostrum - Dr. Whitaker - "Colostrum is produced by female mammals during the first 24 to 48 hours after giving birth. It contains immune factors the mother has acquired over her lifetime, along with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and growth factors. The immune factors in bovine (cow) colostrum are identical to those found in human colostrum, but at much higher levels"

• Bovine colostrum emerges as immunity modulator - HealthLink - "The best quality colostrum is produced organically and is free of pesticides, herbicides, anabolic hormones like rBST, steroids, antibiotics and other chemicals. Not all colostrum products on the market are biologically active due to improper processing through the use of high temperatures and pasteurization or the formation of colostrum into tablets, a method that requires high pressure and generates heat, destroying biological activity."

The ability of bovine colostrum concentrates (BCC are polyvalent bovine colostrum concentrates produced from the colostrums of several 100 cows) to neutralize lipopolysaccharides, i.e. endotoxins arising from Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and to inhibit enterogenic endotoxemia in animal models as shown in the last review to have its counterpart in patient therapy"
