Cow Colostrum Milk

Cow Colostrum Milk is the most important milk for baby cow. If the baby cow does not receive Colostrum Milk from her mother within 8 hours, she'll have serious health problems during her entire life. That's why Colostrum Milk is very important, ideally the baby cow should breast feed from her mother within 3-4 hours after birth.

The researchers have also found proofs that the same thing also happens to humans. There's no food as nutritious as Mother's Colostrum Milk. Babies who don't breastfeed from their mothers will develop serious physiological and physical disorders as they age. Human colostrum is low in fat and high in carbohydrates, which keeps babies healthier. Colostrum Milk enriches babies with antibodies to fight diseases.

When the milk produced in the mother's body, changes from colostrum milk to normal milk, the level of total protein, fat, total solids, solids-not-fat and ash decreases, lactose increases and colostral Ig declines rapidly. But due to its innumerable advantages, many mothers prefer to provide a healthy dose of colostrum milk to their children from other sources also. In such cases, bovine colostrum can be a very good alternative as the colostrum milk obtained from cows is not species specific. Also, the composition of bovine colostrum is strikingly similar to that of human beings.

How actually does Colostrum work ?
So, the scientists started removing things from the colostrum, just as they had removed things from the regular mother's milk, to see what was actually transferring the immunity.

There's substance in Colostrum called Transfer Factor, this transfer factor is not digested when you consume Colostrum. It is a very small molecule. You could call it an 'information messenger'. It carries information with it, from the mother to the new-born baby (or from cow colostrum, properly processed into an adult human).

These 'messengers' probably are equivalent to several hundreds pages of books. These messengers behave like "Bugs Encyclopedia" for your immune system. So when your immune system read those "messages" it becomes more powerful, its knowledge to protect your body has been broaden. Isn't it amazing ?

Remember that older people may well have plenty of different types of antibodies cells, but their bodies are slow at recognizing what particular bug is currently invading their bodies.

It turns out that when an elderly person drinks colostrum, even though the cow has not been specifically treated, the person's immune system is greatly improved, and it is the recognition factor which is improved.

That's why I suggest you take Colostrum Supplements on daily basis:
