“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.”
Hippocrates, Father of modern medicine,2000 B.C.
Nature’s miracle product Colostrum could justifiably be called a medical food. As ‘nature’s first food’, it is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mother’s mammary glands during the first 36 hours after birth. It is not milk or a nutritional supplement. It is a naturally occurring whole food for the newborn. In fact, Colostrum’s very function is to provide the basis for life.
Colostrum supplies life-supporting immune and growth factors and is a perfect combination of vitamins and minerals to ensure the health, vitality, and growth of the newborn. Each drop contains the promise of life: immunoglobulins, growth factors, antibodies, vitamins, minerals designed to help the body face a lifetime of invasion by various viruses, bacteria, allergens and toxins bent on destruction.
The onset of almost all infectious and degenerative disease, including cancer and heart disease, is preceded or accompanied by lowered immune system function, Colostrum is unique in nature in that it is the only complete food to provide critical immune factors, such as immunoglobulins, leukocytes, cytokines, lactoferrin, interferon and prolene rich peptides(PRP), that body needs to fight infection and restore immune function.
Colostrum contains a complex lipid called sphingomyelin, which is involved in the growth, maturation, and proper function of the cells in the body. It is also a great source of choline, which is important for brain function. Much research continues to be done on sphingomyelin, and clinical studies have shown its effectiveness in regards to cellular defence, cancerous tumour suppression, as well as the mobilization of cholesterol.
Where Does Colostrum Come From?
The idea of harvesting colostrum isn’t a new one. Dairy farmers have been collecting colostrum for centuries to feed to calves that lose their mothers during the birthing process. Cows produce more than is required for their new calf, so we simply collect the excess. Because it is not species-specific, bovine colostrum works extremely well for us too. In fact, it has 10 to 20 times more immune factors than human colostrum!

All Health Starts from the Gastro-Intestinal Tract
Doctors acknowledge that most disease enters the body through the mucous membranes in the gastro intestinal tract. The majority of the antibodies and immunoglobulins present in colostrum are not absorbed, but remain in the intestinal tract where they attack pathogens before they can penetrate they can penetrate the body’s defences. Colostrum’s growth factors also help heal the bowel lining, balance intestinal flora, and support proper digestive function.
According to the medical research, the presence of such a wide spectrum of immunoglobulins, antibodies and accessory immune factors in colostrum offers tremendous possibilities in the prevention of and recovery from illness – in both humans and mammalian pets.

Side Effects
There are no negative side effects recorded with colostrum – in fact, the growth factors produce significant positive side effects.
“Colostrum is so safe, it has been prepared by nature as the first food for infants. It would be hard to imagine any nutritional substance more natural or beneficial.” International Institute of Nutritional Research
Why New Zealand Colostrum Is Better
While all cows produce colostrum, all colostrum is NOT the same. From start to finish, colostrum collected from cows raised in New Zealand is superior to any other colostrum in the world. This is because of the ideal pure climate, pesticide, antibiotic and BSE-free pasture-fed cows, highly regulated farming techuiques, and a multi-million dollar investment in the equipment necessary to best process colostrum properly.
