What is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the thick yellow fluid which is produced as a precursor to mother’s milk. It is found in humans, goats, and other mammals where it is produced by the mother for two days following birth.
This special milk which is low in fat and high in carbohydrates, protein, antibodies, growth factors and hormones is a brilliantly designed transfer system which effectively “jump starts” a newborn’s undeveloped immune system.
CapraColostrum™ is unique because it’s from goats -- a source that is closer to human milk, and that of dogs and cats than the mass produced bovine (cow) colostrum.
CapraColostrum™ comes in either powder form or gelatin capsule that is certified BSE free.
What biological role does colostrum play? Colostrum has dozens of health related components, the primary being immune and growth related. Colostrum is made up of various macro and micro constituents such as cytokines, immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM), lactoferrin, growth factors (IGF-I, IGF-II, EGF) and hormones, These components have various biological roles that are vital to proper health and immune function.
What the Experts Say:
“Colostrum is the first milk produced after birth and is particularly rich in immunoglobulins, antimicrobial peptides (eg, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase), and other bioactive molecules, including growth factors.”
