What is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the milky fluid produced by mammals within the first few days after giving birth. This secretion of colostrum does not last for long; rather, it is created for the newborn to give it vital nutrients, antibodies, and other factors it needs right after birth. This includes proteins, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins (A, D, E, G and M) are the most abundant of the immune factors found in colostrum. Their biological functions include helping to support detoxification, and promote immune function in the lymph and circulatory system. So what makes colostrum special for adult individuals? Hundreds of years of use and many clinical studies have demonstrated that colostrum is safe and effective for a variety of applications, including supporting immune function.
Colostrum Benefits
- Supports healthy immune function
- Supports wound-healing
- Helps reduce occasional diarrhea
- May increase athletic performance
Immunoglobulins are present in colostrum at concentrations approximately 100 times higher than dairy milk —and Genceutics Naturals U.S. Grade A Colostrum contains a minimum of 35% immunoglobulins, which is 1/3 higher than typical colostrum products. This is accomplished by immunizing pregnant cows against specific pathogens, resulting in increased specific colostrum antibody titers.
Another component in colostrum, Lactoferrin, helps deprive undesirable microorganisms of the iron they require to reproduce, and releases iron into the red blood cells enhancing oxygenation of tissues. Lactoferrin’s role in immunity is underscored by the fact that lactoferrin receptors have been found on most immune cells including lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and platelets. In addition to immune support, research indicates that colostrum offers other benefits:
- Several colostrum components support wound-healing.
- Supplementation helps reduce occasional diarrhea.
- Supplementation may increase athletic performance.
The colostrum in Genceutics Naturals U.S. Grade A Colostrum is USDA certified. This means that the cows from which the colostrum was obtained are certified as being in good health, and the colostrum itself is if the highest quality, collected from licensed U.S. Grade A dairies in the first 6-12 hours of calving from cows that are pasture-fed (except in the winter). Herds grazed on the pasture are exposed to a variety of organisms and thereby develop a more comprehensive immune response. Furthermore, the colostrum is non-GMO, free of rBST (artificial hormone), antibiotics and pesticides. This is significant since many health-minded consumers are concerned with possible ill effects resulting from the consumption of these substances.
Genceutics Naturals U.S. Grade A Colostrum is freeze-dried to maintain potency and quality. Many manufacturers utilize spray drying, but spray drying substantially denatures colostrum. Genceutics Naturals colostrum is freeze-dried, ensuring the integrity of all vital components including immunoglobins and lactoferrin.
