COLOSTRUM
Articles by a Naturopathic
Doctor ( N.D.)
Rich in nutrients and
substances that support the
immune system ... |
|
COLOSTRUM |
|
|
|
Colostrum from
pasture fed cows is
the highest quality |
|
|
Colostrum is the
“first food of life”
because it is
excreted from the
mammalian breast
during the first 72
hours after birth.
It is rich in
nutrients and
substances called
immunoglobulins and
lactoferrin.
Immunoglobulins and
lactoferrin support
the maturation of
the immune system, a
process that is not
completed until the
second year of life
in humans. |
|
They are
antimicrobial,
anti-allergenic and
protective against
toxins.
Natural health
practitioners for a
variety of
conditions including
colds and flus,
chronic and frequent
infections, wounds,
burns, ulcers,
diarrhea, intestinal
inflammation,
obesity and blood
sugar imbalances
recommend colostrum.
Colostrum can be
purchased in
capsules, as a
powder, in a spray
or in a cream. It
can be found in
supplements for
immune boosting or
digestive health.
The best source for
colostrum products
is New Zealand,
where the cattle and
sheep are free from
pesticides, growth
hormones,
antibiotics and
disease.
Do not use colostrum
if you are allergic
to dairy products.
Colostrum has not
been studied for use
by pregnant or
nursing women. |
