Colostrum is a highly-concentrated source of powerful immune and growth factors produced from mammary glands shortly after giving birth. Pure Encapsulations Colostrum is derived from BSE-, hormone-, pesticide- and antibiotic-free herds. As a nutritional supplement, this pure, rich source of bovine colostrum provides exceptional, synergistic support.
- Suggested use: as a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules , 2-3 times daily, on an empty stomach, or at least 30 minutes before a meal, with 8-12 oz water.
- each vegetable capsule contains:
- bovine colostrum (milk)..................................................................450 mg.
- (standardized to contain 40% IgG)
- Contains milk,soy
- other ingredients: soy lecithin, vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water)
Immune Support: Immunoglobins, the most abundant types of immune factors in colostrum, are large protein molecules that include Immunoglobins G (IgG), A (IgA), E (IgE), D (IgD), and M (IgM). Each has a specific role in natural defense, including activation of various immune cells. IgG is found in the highest concentration and helps to neutralize toxins. Lactoferrin is a versatile, iron-binding protein that enhances the body’s ability to utilize iron and also stimulates immune system cells. Proline-Rich Polypeptide (PRP) is a hormone produced by the thymusgland to help balance and activate the immune response. Lymphokines, interferons, and interleukins are proteins that activate the functions of various immune cells. Growth Factors include Insulin Growth Factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) and Transforming Growth Factors (TGF-A and TGF-B). These growth factors, identical in composition to human growth factors, have demonstrated the ability to enhance immune cell function.
Intestinal Support: Oligosaccharides and lysozyme help maintain a healthy intestinal membrane and promote the growth of friendly bacteria. Studies show that other components of colostrum, including lactoferrin, also promote intestinal function.
Healthy Body Composition: Growth factors found in colostrum promote glucose and fat metabolism for fuel, support protein synthesis, and help maintain lean muscle. This supports healthy body composition and has demonstrated the ability to support speed and strength training and to nutritionally support healthy connective and nerve tissues in the body.
