According to Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D., Natural Gourmet Institute founder and CEO, "Milk is designed to put weight on babies-and it's not just the fat that does it, but also the protein and calcium." Now I would somewhat agree with her, especially about "Milk" in general. However, when you start looking before milk, or what is known as Pre-Milk or Colostrum that is where she would be grossly misinformed.

Colostrum isn't milk! Nor is it produced through the mammary glands like milk, as a matter of fact it is produced 4-6 weeks prior to birth and it contains over 700+ constituents that work on Anti-Aging, Immune Support, Metabolic Support and much, much more. To clarify, we are talking about Colostrum from bovine or cows.

When talking about the production of Colostrum or COLOSTROGENESIS, there is so much research that shows its production starts weeks before the birth from within the body; that alone makes it a completely different substance from milk. The formation or LACTOGENESIS of milk happens within the mammary gland and happens shortly after birth. You see Colostrum is produced only once per birth, whereas milk is produced over and over again.

I know for myself, when I am looking at a supplement I want to get every penny's worth from whatever it is I am trying and I want that supplement to provide benefits to as many systems within my body as I can get; whether for energy, vitamin absorption, regeneration to even having bone density improvements.

We have found through independent testing with Food Products Laboratory that you can get calcium, vitamins/minerals (in their whole food form and in abundance) your bones and body need from Colostrum without dipping into the milk jug. Did you know that:

• Colostrum contains 10 times more vitamin A than milk.
• Colostrum contains 3 times more vitamin D than milk.
• Colostrum contains at least 10 times more iron than milk.
• Colostrum contains more calcium, phosphorous and magnesium than milk.
• Colostrum contains the entire 87 Anti-Aging family of growth factors.
• Colostrum contains over 100 Immune factors to help balance and help functionality.

Not to mention all the other beneficial factors that help with autoimmune situations, regeneration, weight loss and more. When looking at Colostrum, always ask certain questions like:

1. When was your colostrum taken? If past the 6-8 hour mark, you are receiving Transition Milk!
2. Can you provide 3rd-Party Validation? If they can't or won't you are putting your health and money at risk!
3. What is your compositional breakdown of protein, fat and lactose? These three components, even though you don't have all six (6), will give you a good idea of whether they are colostrum or transitional milk!

Keep in mind not all Colostrum is the same. All colostrum has been tested by Dr. Don Lein, who was the head of the Endocrinology and Veterinary Diagnostics Lab at Cornell University.
