Formula Rationale

Colostrum has been used for thousands of years in Asia and has been studied since the late 1700s in Europe. First milk colostrum is a pure and natural product resulting from collecting and drying the milk obtained within the first six hours after the birth of a calf. Our colostrum is collected from Grade A dairy farms in the United States to assure the highest quality product. It is free of artificial hormones, rBST, rBGH, and BSE/TSE. Colostrum is rich in protein, specifically immune proteins classed as immunoglobulins, which provide the newborn or those using colostrum, with these basic components of the immune system. In the case of the newborn, their immune system is not yet fully functioning and colostrum source antibodies aid the immune system to ward off and defend against infections and antigens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.).*

Additionally, there are many vitamins in high concentrations along with rich sources of minerals in easy to assimilate forms. Recent research has proven the existence of TGF-1 (insulin like growth factor), which is of interest to the athletic and body-building field. Colostrum also contains a small molecular weight moiety called transfer factor (immune inducer), which is a messenger to the immune system preparing it for defense against specific antigens. This can be a very promising way to offer health benefits through an oral supplement, as it is small enough to be absorbed through the digestive system. The “probiotic” functions of colostrum are well researched, and effectiveness against various G.I. problems, diarrhea, etc., is well established. Colostroplex can be used for those who are intolerant of dairy products.*
