Colostrum is nature’s perfect first food.

It is the pre-milk substance that is

produced by all mammals at the time

of giving birth. Colostrum is a mixture

of immune and growth factors

as well as important nutrients,

all designed to activate a newborn’s

immune system and support their

digestive health, ensuring their overall

health, vitality, and growth. Numerous

studies show that bovine colostrum

and its components continue to

support important biological activities

when given to adults, children,

and animals so that its benefits

can extend well beyond the neonatal

period of development.

Colostrum contains various bioactives,

such as immune factors, colostral

polypeptides,lactoferrin and many others.

Colostral polypeptides, also present

in colostrum, have the unique ability to

help balance the immune system.

Much of the immunoglobulin fraction is

represented by Immunoglobulin G (IgG).

Immuno-supplementation with bovine

antibodies has shown to be an effective

means of providing local protection to the

gastro-intestinal tract.

Colostrum is a source of amino acids,

as well as important fats, including

phospholipids. While bovine colostrum has

been used for thousands of years

in human medicine, its components also

offer an ideal bioactive backbone for

developing new oral therapeutics tha

t can modulate our gut and 

systemic biology.

Below is an overview of the components of

colostrum and their potential

therapeutic benefit.
