Colostrum – Nature’s Best Health Gift

Health experts and Scientists know a lot about colostrum as there are over 5000 PubMed studies on its standalone benefits for humans.

High quality bovine colostrum?is a supreme nutrient. Its primary focus is to give life to one’s cells, fight invaders and build immunity. ?

?

Bovine colostrum is identical in molecule structure to human colostrum but offers many?more benefits.? Bovine colostrum has far greater nutritional value and far more antibodies and growth factors?than human colostrum. ?Along with strengthening immunity and providing rapid repair and renewal benefits for the entire body, it also contains vital proteins (antibodies) that fight infection.?

It is extremely beneficial for every adult, from those wanting increased immunity, more energy, rapid repair, renewal and healing through to the fitness warrior. Many world-class athletes, service men and women also take bovine colostrum as it is proven to increase strength and endurance, prevent illness, is extremely beneficial for gut health, builds lean muscle, reduces heat-stress and accelerates recovery times after extreme training exercises.

1.??????? What is Colostrum?

Colostrum is the pre-milk substance or first lacteal secretion that is produced by all mammalian mothers immediately following the birth of their young.? Colostrum is often referred to as the first milk however true colostrum is not milk.? It may also be referred to “pre-milk” and this is accurate as it is the liquid that is produced prior to whole milk. Over 80% of the bioactive components of bovine colostrum are produced in the bone marrow and circulatory system.? They are then transported through the mammary glands prior to the birth of the newborn.? Unlike milk, which is produced almost entirely in the mammary glands, colostrum has a very different protein and nutritional structure to milk. Its nutritional value is far greater than milk, (i.e. the protein content in true bovine colostrum is upwards of 70% whereas mature cow’s milk contains only 3% protein) and true colostrum is only produced for a very short time (72 hours at most) before the full transition to whole milk occurs.

It is vital the label is checked before purchasing any colostrum product. On the supplement facts panel the immunoglobulin G (known as IgG) value of the colostrum should be stated.? This vital antibody protein is secreted from the cells and travels in the bloodstream. It is the only class of immunoglobulin capable of crossing the placenta barrier. Its primary goal in the body for one’s entire lifetime is to fight against all infections and foreign invaders.

The IgG percentage value on a label demonstrates the quality and purity of the colostrum.? High quality colostrum will show an IgG content over 25%.? If the IgG level or value is not stated stay well away. Bovine colostrum that is collected after 72 hours of the calf being born means the colostrum is starting to transition to whole milk. This equates to a poor grade of colostrum that has much less nutritional value. See further details in the protein section of this article.

Colostrum is collected from cows the same way milk is. Colostrum is either yellowish or creamy in color.? It is also thicker than milk.?

The IgG percentage in Stem Cell Worx Intraoral Spray is always over 30%. This is due to the guaranteed collection time always being within 24 hours of the cow giving birth. ?The colostrum in all Stem Cell Worx products comes from healthy grass-fed cows in the U.S.A. (completely free of artificial hormones, pesticides and BSE) and the unique processing techniques at the manufacturing laboratory ensure its nutritional values remain firmly intact.

Protein Content in Bovine Colostrum

The protein content in bovine colostrum is substantially higher than that of mature milk. Virtually all of the protein in bovine colostrum is found in the whey fraction, primarily as Immunoglogulin G (IgG) at 78% compared to only 3% in mature milk. ?High grade bovine colostrum also contains virtually no lactose therefore making it suitable for most adults who are lactose intolerant.

In contrast, the predominant protein of mature cow’s milk is casein. ?Casein is a milk-specific protein which is not present in the bloodstream. Casein is readily precipitated in the acid environment of the stomach then released slowly to the intestine, where it is then broken down. In contrast to whey proteins, casein also lacks the secondary and tertiary structures associated with functional proteins and as it’s a lot more susceptible to acid casein puts stress on the digestive system and can cause a number of side effects.
