New Zealand Colostrum

What exactly is Colostrum?

Colostrum (also known as first milk) is the first food of life and a form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals (including humans) in late pregnancy.Colostrum contains antibodies to protect the newborn against disease, as well as being lower in fat and higher in protein than ordinary milk.

Colostrum is an incredible, completely natural source of nutrients including protein, vitamins, minerals, and immune supporting factors. Colostrum may be helpful in supporting the body’s natural response to allergies and digestive problems, as well as supporting the immune system and the natural growth and healing of body tissues.

 

The immune factors in colostrum work to support healthy intestinal immune function and flora balance. The growth factors support the body’s ability to maintain healthy intestinal tissues, fat metabolism and muscle mass. Colostrum has been found to support the body’s natural healing and immune system processes (especially in the intestine) and general well-being.

Why New Zealand Colostrum ?

New Zealand Colostrum is known to be superior mainly due to the processing method, but also vital is the fact that New Zealand farmers collect colostrum once a year during natural calving from year round pasture fed cows. These cows are antibiotic free and free from hormone. Simply, NZ Colostrum is the finest and purest.
