Colostrum is the first milky fluid produced by lactating mammals immediately following their offspring’s delivery. Organika’s Bovine Colostrum is the milky fluid that comes from free range cows, free from all growth hormones. Colostrum is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and antibodies that fight disease-causing agents such as bacteria and viruses in the body.
Breast milk, including human and bovine milk, contain many factors that are involved in immune development. In the first year of life, infants are developing their immune system. At birth, their immune systems see anything that is not itself as foreign, so the first year or two of life is an essential time of programming the immune system. It gets taught what is safe to allow in, and what is best to attack.
Colostrum contains various compounds to help with infant’s immune development and growth. Immunoglobulins, prebiotic oligosaccharides, extracellular vesicles, antimicrobial proteins and immunomodulatory cytokines can all be a part of this important development. Human and cow milk are quite similar in these components.
