Anovite Colostrum is a vitality supplement - especially for persons who want to look their best. We recommend Anovite Colostrum due to its high level of growth factors and complete absence of detectable contaminants (e.g., pesticides, heavy metals, bacterial pathogens). Our review of recent scientific findings indicates that two factors are important to producing colostrum with a high growth factor content: time taken after birth and completeness of the product.

“Scientific studies on whole colostrum show that some of the bio-active components necessary to provide the health benefits of a true colostrum are fat soluble and found in high concentrations only up to 6-8 hours after birth and removal of that fat would result in the removal of important bio-active components,” notes Dr. Donald H. Lein, chairman of Population Genetics and Diagnostic Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University. Anovite Colostrum, which is never defatted, has a fat content of about 21.7 percent. Research shows that the fat “holds” approximately 30 percent of the IGF-I.

In a controlled laboratory study at Minnesota Valley Testing Laboratories, New Ulm, however, it was found that some popular imported brands of colostrum have an extremely low fat content of less than five percent. Many widely marketed brands of colostrum have immunoglobulin counts ranging from 25 to 40 percent; these products are usually filtered or standardized. But the Anovite philosophy is to produce a product that is 100 percent first milking and complete. Some products touting high immunoglobulin levels contain 30 percent or more. Anovite colostrum has not been filtered, standardized or manipulated in any way. Its immunoglobulin content is 22.11 percent, which indicates a high level of growth factors - and reflects the fact that the product is not defatted but rather represents a complete colostrum powder. In fact, in a controlled study at a government-certified independent laboratory, it was shown that Anovite Colostrum contains higher levels of IGF-I than some imported brands.
