Colostrum To Boost The Human Immune System

Colostrum contains five types of immunoglobulins, specifically IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Bovine colostrum contains mostly IgG with small amounts of IgA, IgD, IgE, and IgM. Human colostrum typically contains 2% IgG content, while bovine colostrum can have from 8 to above 25% IgG content. These are protein molecules that are effective in fighting bacterial and viral infections, colds, flu, parasites, yeast, etc. Immunoglobulins are the energizing elements in colostrum that are also anti-inflammatory in nature.

It has been shown to contain specific antibodies to more than 19 specific disease causing pathogens including: rotavirus, h. pylori, cryptosporidium, salmonella, candida, streptococcus, staphylococcus and E. coli.

Proline-rich Polypeptides help regulate the thymus gland and can stimulate a weakened immune system, as well as balance an overactive immune system, as in the case of many autoimmune diseases. This is significant because the stem cells in the bone marrow produce white blood cells that then migrate to the thymus gland to mature and be activated.

Colostrum contains lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein with antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory properties.

Glycoproteins protect the immune system and the growth factors in colostrum from destruction by the digestive juices in the stomach and intestinal tract.

Colostrum contains lactalbumins that can be highly effective against numerous forms of cancer and viruses.

Lysozymes help protect the body from bacterial infections.

Medical studies have shown that the vital growth factors from bovine colostrum are practically identical to human colostrum in composition. Furthermore, it has been shown that growth factors stimulate normal growth, as well as help regenerate and accelerate the repair of aged or injured muscle, skin collagen, bone, cartilage, and nerve tissues. Growth factors also stimulate the body to burn fat for fuel instead of the body's own muscle tissue in times of fasting and build lean muscle mass. In addition, the growth factors can be used as an effective topical application for burns, injuries and skin rejuvenation.

Colostrum helps regulate cytokines known as Interleukin 1 and 6, Interferon Y, and Lymphokines, which are chemicals that are involved in cell-to-cell communication. It increases antiviral and anti-tumor activity and regulates the intensity of immune responses. Cytokines help alert our immunologic army when there is a threat of foreign invasion.

Colostrum has been found to raise immune system activity by 240% above normal when needed by the body to fight disease, foreign pathogens, fungi, and viruses.

The most potent colostrum product I have been able to find is Symbiotics® Wild Cherry Colostrum Plus® , which contains 1.2 mgs per tablet. Or Symbiotics Colostrum Plus Pineapple, which contains 800mgs colostrum plus 12 mgs lactoferrin. Colostrum is easily destroyed by the stomach acids when you take it around meals and this leaves you with absolutely no benefits from the supplement. You should take a chewable but if you take the capsules with water away from meals you should be ok. The suggested dose for Symbiotics® Colostrum Plus when treating yourself for yeast is 8 tablets a day for adults, and 6 a day for children. It is best to just let the tablet dissolve in the mouth if possible.
