Colostrum - the essence of health
Colostrum is the “first milk” produced by all mammals and contains antibodies that protect newborns from disease and infection. Colostrum provides numerous health benefits to both children and adults – it strengthens the immune system, increases the body’s resistance, improves vitality, and gives energy.
Colostrum is a gift of nature for our immune system
Colostrum is a type of milk that is produced in the mammary glands of mammals at the very beginning of breastfeeding, as an ideal food for newborns.
This highly concentrated milk, yellowish in color and thicker than regular milk, is full of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Colostrum contains everything necessary for the newborn to adapt to life in the outside world and protect it from diseases and infections.
Why is colostrum important for the immunity of newborns?
Colostrum contains a large amount of bioactive ingredients, such as growth factors and immune factors, which activate the newborn’s immune system.
By introducing it, the baby receives ready-made antibodies that are ready to fight against any infection.
In addition to immune cells and antibodies (IgA, IgG, and IgM), colostrum also contains numerous other components necessary for the proper growth and development of the baby, so it is also called “super food”, “food of all foods”, “liquid gold”, ” the first vaccine”. With the help of colostrum, the newborn receives the best combination of protein, salt, fat, and vitamins for complete nutrition.
The benefits of colostrum consumption for children and adults
In addition to its vital role for the health of newborns, colostrum provides numerous health benefits to both children and adults – it improves bone health, helps fight bacteria, and strengthens immunity.
Bovine (cow) colostrum and human colostrum are very similar in their compositions. Both contain very similar antibodies, immune factors, growth factors and other nutrients. That is why bovine colostrum is suitable for human consumption after proper processing.
Having discovered the benefits of colostrum, scientists have found a way to isolate substances from bovine colostrum that are also useful for human health. Thus, cow’s colostrum was made into a supplement similar to natural colostrum. The advantages of consuming colostrum thus obtained are:
- strengthening the immune system
- improving vitality and energy
- better digestion
- tissue and cell regeneration
- protection against free radicals.
How is bovine colostrum produced?
The cows produce more colostrum than the calf can consume. A cow produces about 8 liters of colostrum at its first milking, while a calf needs only about 4 liters. This is why surplus colostrum has been collected.
Collected colostrum is frozen until processed. Raw colostrum is cleaned and concentrated, after which it is freeze-dried. The freeze-drying method is used because it removes moisture without heating and is the best way to ensure bioactivity in colostrum products.
In this way, using isolated and purified colostrum powder, a nutritional supplement was obtained that contains protective substances most similar to those we received at the very beginning of life.
