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 that can modulate our gut

and systemic biology.

Below is an overview of the components of

colostrum and their potential therapeutic benefit.
