Colostrum (also known as beestings or first milk or "immune milk") is a form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals in late pregnancy. Most species will generate colostrum within one day of giving birth. [Wikipedia]

Colostrum is a pre-milk fluid secreted by a mammalian mother after giving birth during the first 24-36 hours of lactation.

However, as human colostrums is not readily available, we have to rely on other sources. Research has shown that colostrums from dairy cows (bovine colostrums) is very similar to human colostrums and is a safe alternative. In fact, it has been reported that bovine colostrums is up to forty times richer in immune factors compared to human colostrums.

1. Improves overall sense of well being.

6. Accelerates wound healing and cell regeneration.
7. Stimulates healthy bone metabolism.
8. Improves the quality of sleep.
9. Helps the body to burn fat and build lean muscles.

Immunoglobulins : most important component of colostrums. These are special proteins produced by the body in response to the host being exposed to foreign substances (antigens) such as infectious microbes. The immunoglobulins are directed specifically to the antigen that induced their formation. Bovine colostrums contains all five classes of immunoglobulins found in human colostrums which are IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE and IgD. The most abundant immunoglobulins is IgG. Human colostrums contains about 2% IgG while bovine colostrums has up to 40 times that amount.

Lactoferrin : A powerful antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory protein which deprives pathogens of the iron they need to proliferate.

Proline : Rich Polypeptide - Regulates the activity of the immune system, modulating overactive immune responses and enhancing a hypoactive immune system.

Oligasaccharides : Sugars (saccharine) that attach and bind to invading bacteria, peventing them from attaching to or passing through the intestinal wall therefore preventing intestinal infection.

Cytokine : Interlukin 1&6, Interferon an lymphokinesis - stimulates the production of immunoglobulins and regulate the intensity of the immune function.

Lactalbumins : Help increase brain serotonin levels and improve mood under stress.

Lisozim : has been shown to kill bacteria and viruses on contact.
