Colostrum - Support for Immunity and Anti-Aging

Studies confirm that colostrum is one of nature’s most powerful immune and anti-aging substances.

What is Colostrum?

Colostrum is the “pre-milk” substance a mammal mother produces after giving birth that ensures the health and vitality of her newborn. It is so important that most baby animals do not survive without it.

Research has shown that colostrum from dairy cows is non species-specific (beneficial for all mammals). Colostrum contains life-supporting immune and anti-aging components. For us, it has been shown that after the teen years, our bodies start losing these immune and anti-aging components…this is the aging process. Colostrum is the only substance that provides these vital components to help restore our health and turn back the years.

Colostrum’s immune components help to:

  • Regulate an over-active or under-active immune response
  • Provide vital immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, cytokines, oligosaccharides, to name a few, plus key antibodies for 34 different pathogens such as E. coli, H. pylori and Candida albicans

Colostrum’s anti-aging components help:

  • Heal the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, providing a protective barrier where most disease enters the body
  • Encourage healthy cellular growth in skin, bones, muscles, nerves and cartilage
  • Stimulate lean muscle growth
  • Burn stored fat for energy rather than muscle tissue
  • Balance blood sugar levels
  • Reduce stress and brighten our mood
  • Increase strength and stamina
  • Reduce inflammation

Symbiotics Colostrum Plus with Bio-lipid

Symbiotics Colostrum Plus®, has a patent-pending bio-identical delivery system (BIO-lipid™). BIO-lipid™ protects colostrum’s healing components from being destroyed in the digestive transit and assures their delivery to where they are needed in the body. BIO-lipid is an exact match to the phospholipids that surround not only every molecule of fresh colostrum, but every cell in our body. It provides protection against the digestive enzymes and acids to allow colostrum’s healing components to disperse in the small intestine for assimilation into the body - rather than clumping together and passing through the body intact as do other dried colostrum products.

In independent laboratory testing conducted in October 2004, analyses were done to compare the enzymatic digestion of Colostrum Plus with BIO-lipid against that of Colostrum without BIO-lipid to determine the efficacy of the BIO-lipid delivery system. The results showed convincingly that the BIO-lipid significantly protected the colostral proteins, specifically the IgG fraction, from digestion by the powerful enzymes and acids found in the digestive system. In fact, colostrum with BIO-lipid delivery doubled the IgG activity available to the body over colostrum without BIO-lipid!
