Some of the commonest modern health challenges women face include these and other autoimmune and immunodeficiency conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. Perhaps it is a sign of our toxic polluted environment. Perhaps it is diet and stress or our all too sterile environment— or all these factors. But one thing we now know is that first-milking colostrum is a wonderful way to support your immune health—especially among those facing such immune challenges. One of the reasons true first-milking colostrum has been used so successfully by persons with immune system disorders is that it is a particularly rich source of bioactive immune factors that intuitively act to either rev up or quiet down the immune system.

The many immune factors in first-milking colostrum work together to provide incredibly valuable immune-support benefits.First-milking colostrum provides immunoglobulins (A, D, E, G and M), which are some of the most important to immune function. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) neutralizes toxins and microbes in the lymph and circulatory system. Meanwhile, IgM destroys bacteria; IgE and IgD are highly antiviral. Lactoferrin, also present in first-milking colostrum, is an antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, iron-binding protein with therapeutic effects in cancer, HIV, cytomegalovirus,
herpes, chronic fatigue syndrome, Candida albicans and other infections. Many drug manufacturers have even tried to isolate and synthesize individual immune factors found in colostrum, including interferon and gamma globulin. But there is no question that for many women, the whole intact immune complement as found in first-milking colostrum is a more natural, healthy way to support their health and well-being.
