Timeless, Nourishing Colostrum
An Ancient Tradition
For thousands of years, cultures the world over have intuitively known the many health benefits of nutrient-rich colostrum. It was vital that the newborn receive the mother’s colostrum, produced just before the first milk, to gain a healthy jumpstart on life and to develop a strong immune system.
Ayurvedic physicians in India believed that the colostrum produced by humans could be matched by bovine colostrum, and have long used bovine colostrum for its health benefits. Thanks to its similarity to human colostrum, bovine colostrum is considered the universal donor—with the added advantage of being four times richer in immune factors than human colostrum.3
Colostrum and Science
Western science began investigating the health benefits of colostrum in the late 1700s. Since that time, colostrum has been studied for its immune support properties, its potential to support healing time, its ability to promote normal cell repair/rejuvenation and more. Many studies have been published on colostrum’s health benefits.
