Our ability to survive in a world full of dangerous pathogens and toxins is dependent upon the ability of our immune system to neutralize and destroy these potential dangers. To accomplish this, our bodies have developed many strategies that attack or neutralize dangers in a wide variety of ways. Many of these are included in colostrum as well since one of the main routes of infection or toxin entry into the body is through the gut. In fact, no other supplement can come close to colostrum in the variety and effectiveness of its immune support.

Colostrum also provides a potent array of immune factors including immunoglobins, cytokines, interferon, lactoferrin and PRPs.

Supplementation of these factors can dramatically restore immunity, prevent infection and speed healing and recovery from illness.

Bovine colostrum, in particular, is up to forty times higher than human colostrum in these immune factors. Plus, only bovine colostrum contains certain glycoproteins and protease inhibitors that naturally protect these immune factors from being digested in the intestinal tract.

Even so, prolonged exposure to stomach acid would decrease colostrum’s immune effects. Swallowing colostrum in a capsule with a large glass of alkaline, antioxidant water (coral water or electrolysis water) between meals (or at the very start of a meal) should be optimum for immune benefits.

Colostrum is also one of the most potent known sources of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which relieves pain, aids in healing of scar tissue, deters parasites, supports liver detoxification and helps elimination of mercury, among its many other functions. MSM, or organic sulfur, is considered the number three mineral in the body.

Colostrum even contains powerful, soil-based organisms, which have been found to provide tremendous health benefits to human health.
