Optimal immune support potential
Colostrum is a highly-concentrated source of powerful immune
and growth factors produced from mammary glands within the
crucial first 24 to 72 hours after giving birth. Pure
Encapsulations Colostrum is derived from BSE-, hormone-, and
pesticide- and antibiotic-free herds raised in the northern
Midwest, where the immune systems of mother and calf are
naturally strong in order to withstand the harsh conditions,
providing a pure, rich source of colostrum. As a nutritional
supplement, bovine colostrum provides exceptional,
synergistic 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 which
enhances the body's ability to utilize iron and also
stimulates immune system cells. Proline-rich Polypeptide (PRP)
is a hormone produced by the thymus gland to help balance
and activate the immune response. Lymphokines, interferons,
and interleukins are proteins that activate the functions of
various immune cells. Oligosaccharides and lysozyme help
maintain a healthy intestinal membrane and promote the
growth of friendly bacteria. Studies show that other
components of colostrum also promote intestinal function.
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 and to nutritionally support healthy
connective and nerve tissues in the body. Furthermore,
growth factors 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 enhance speed and strength training. Today's
dairy cows produce on average four to five gallons of
colostrum in their first milking. The calf consumes one
gallon of colostrum in its first two feedings, assuring
passive immunity. The excess colostrum is not fed to the
calf as it can cause intestinal upset after the first
feedings. This excess is an ideal source for use in
nutritional supplements.
Pure Encapsulations Colostrum, derived from USDA and FDA
certified dairy farms, is defatted and spray dried at low
heat to preserve nutritional activity. It is standardized to
contain 40% IgG and is also a concentrated source of
lactoferrin and IGF-1. Colostrum is a nutrient-dense
combination of immune system components and growth factors
for supporting optimal natural defense, intestinal function,
connective tissue health, and athletic potential that cannot
be found elsewhere in nature.
