Contents of Colostrum

What Does it Contain and How Does it Work?

Colostrum is completely natural! Mother Nature knows what is good for us, and provides colostrum as our first meal. Who uses colostrum? Everyone who was breastfed at birth. And those of us who realize it's wonderful nutritional qualities continue using it. Colostrum contains the following protecting, regulating, and support factors:

Protection

Immunoglobulins

Immunoglobulins fight against bacteria, viruses, and yeast.
Colostrum contains immunoglobulins IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and Ig, M.

Leukocytes

Leukocytes stimulate the production of interferon which slows viral production.

Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin defends against infection and cancerous tumors. It is also anti-inflammatory.

Lysozyme

Lysozyme destroys bacteria and viruses.

Regulation

Proline-rich polypeptides

Proline-rich polypeptides both initiate and suppress the immune response. Suppressing the immune system is required to prevent the immune system from attacking the body itself, as occurs with autoimmune diseases. (Ley)

Cytokines

Cytokines are interlukins that regulate the intensity and duration of the immune responses. They are highly antiviral and anti-tumorous.

Interlukin-10

Interlukin-10 reduces inflammation caused by arthritis, infection or injury whether from surgery or trauma.

Lymphokines

Lymphokines regulate the immune response.

Support

Growth Factors

While young, the human body produces maximum amounts of growth factors. With increasing age less and less of growth factors are produced. This is one of the reasons that the physical body and the mind age, and why the supplementation of growth factors may slow or reverse aging.

Function of Growth Factors:

Promote wound healing and tissue repair
Stimulate growth and regeneration of cartilage, nerve, bone, and muscle
Balance blood sugars
Increase the breakdown of fat

Nucleotides

Facilitate cellular energy transfer.

Amino Acids

Lysine, Arginine, Isoleucine, Threonine, Methionine, Tryptophan, Leucine, Valine, Cysteine, Histidine, Phenylalanine

Vitamins

A, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), B12 (Cobalamin), B13 (Orotic Acid), C, D, E, Biotin, Folic Acid

Minerals

Calcium, sodium, Iron, Manganese, Phosphorous, Potassium, Copper, Iodine Magnesium, Choline, Cobalt, Chromium

The above is not an exhaustive list. There are other agents in colostrum which have evolved in colostrum from the time of the earliest mammals to ensure survival and promote health, strength, and vitality.
