Core Health Benefits

1. Immune Factors:

Colostrum contains various immune system factors such as immunoglobulins (Ig). Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma cells (white blood cells). They act as a critical part in your body’s immune response, by seeking out and attacking various antigens such as bacteria or viruses, aiding in their destruction. 

Most immunoglobulin fraction is represented by Immunoglobulin G (IgG). Supplementation via Colostrum has been shown to be an effective means of providing immune protection to the gastro-intestinal tract. 

2. Growth Factors: 

In addition to immune-boosting qualities, Colostrum also contains many growth factors including insulin-like growth factor-1 and 2 (IGF-1 and IGF-2), Epithelial growth factor (EGF), Fibroblast growth factor (FGF), Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and Transforming growth factors (TGF-α and TGF-β). Growth factors are substances, such as a vitamin or hormone, which are required for the stimulation of growth in living cells. Their presence in colostrum is primarily to complete the growth and development of the newborn gut, but in older children and adults they help support a healthy gut wall. But how does Colostrum aid in nutrition? 

3. Nutritional Factors:

Colostrum contains a large mix of vitamins, minerals and amino acids which may assist your body in performance and function. Colostrum is a rich source of both essential and non-essential amino acids, as well as essential fats, including phospholipids, which enable colostral protein protection and easy absorption in the gut by forming liposomes around them.
