- COLOSTRUM :
Colostrum, a substance that
occurs naturally in bovines, contains large protein molecules known
as immunoglobulins, which help defend the body against viruses and bacteria.
Colostrum also contains specific antibodies, broad-based immune enhancers,
insulin-likegrowth factors and transforming growth factors, as well
as leukocytes that inhibit virus penetration of cellular walls.
BENEFITS:
* Accelerates healing.
* Balances blood sugar.
* Reduces insulin needs.
* Increases the metabolism of fat.
* Regenerates and accelerates the normal growth of agedor injured muscle,
bone, cartilage, skin collagenand nervous tissue.
* Regulates neurotransmitters, providing alertnessand better concentration.
*Jump-Start Your Immune System.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Bovine colostrum is known
as a "universal donor ". Humans are able to use it because
its immune factors,along with key immunoglobulins, are identical in
molec-ular structure to those of humans.
ADVANTAGES:
Colostrum contains 13 major
components that contribute to its remarkable properties.In general,
immunoglobulins can be divided into five categories: gamma A, D, E,
G and M. Bovine colostrumcontains all five!
SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT:
Oral ingestion of colostrum
does not destroy itsnutritional properties. In 1994, scientists discovered
thatbovine colostrum contains special trypsin and proteaseinhibitors
that shut down the digestive enzymes andacids of the stomach. Rather
than be digested in thestomach, colostrum's proteins pass through the
stomachto the small intestine, where they are easily absorbed.
