This ORGANIC colostrum is minimally processed to protect its fragile growth and immune factors and to ensure its potency and efficacy. It's not heat pasteurized — it's sterilized and purified by a sophisticated micro-filtration method.

INGREDIENTS: 100% ORGANIC Bovine Colostrum and essential oil blend.

What makes colostrum so beneficial?

There are over 90 known components in colostrum. The primary components, divided into two classes, are immune factors and growth factors. Colostrum also contains a precise balance of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. All of these factors work together in perfect synergy to restore health and radiance to skin.

Colostrum’s Immune Factors

Immune Factors in colostrum have been shown to help the skin inhibit the binding of pathogenic invaders. Each factor plays a specific role in our body’s defense against these attackers. In addition, colostrum contains over 20 antibodies to specific pathogens including E coli, salmonella, rotavirus, candida, streptococcus, staphylococcus, H pylori, and cryptosporidia.

In addition to immunoglobulins, medical studies show that PRP in colostrum  supports an underactive immune system. PRP also helps balance an overactive immune system present in autoimmune conditions.

Colostrum’s Growth Factors

Growth Factors help build and restore skin, broken tissue, connective tissue, collagen and elastin. Growth factors have been shown to help slow the signs of aging! Colostrum's growth factors may:

• Affect the brain’s mood regulating chemicals to brighten our moods. (serotonin & dopamine)
• Assist in regeneration and improve normal growth of aged skin collagen and nerve tissue.

Other Beneficial Components

Vitamins and Minerals are nutrients that are essential for normal metabolism, growth and development. They act as coenzymes, enabling chemical process to take place. Vitamins and minerals are indispensable for the maintenance of health.

Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are required for growth and development. Amino acids are divided into essential (not produced by the body) and nonessential (can be produced by the body).



Known Components of Colostrum

Growth Factors

Epithelial Growth Factor (EGF) – Helps protect and maintain the skin
Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) – Enhances wound healing and tissue repair
Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) – Helps repair DNA and RNA, anti-aging
Insulin-like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) – Affects how the body uses essential fatty acids and protein
Growth Hormone (GH) – Regulates growth, decreases signs of aging
Transforming Growth Factor - a (TGF- a) – Assists in formation and repair of connective tissue, bone and cartilage
Transforming Growth Factor - b (TGF - b) – Helps repair tissue. Shown to produce cell destruction in certain human cancers.
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) – Stimulates growth of connective tissue, plays a role in wound repair and helps with cell division and neuron survival and regeneration
Prolactin – Similar to Growth Hormone
Sulfur – An important building block of proteins



Vitamins and Other Nutrients

Vitamin B6 – Produces serotonin, utilization of amino acids
Vitamin B12 – Normal development of red blood cells
Vitamin E – Antioxidant, supports wound repair and immune function
Vitamin A (from carotene) – Resistance to pathogenic invasion, maintains cell integrity
Vitamin C – Antioxidant, immune system support
Thiamin (Vitamin B1) – Metabolism of carbohydrates, energy
Folic Acid – Cell replication and tissue growth
Pantothenic Acid – Metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) – Energy production, tissue repair, healthy eyes
Beta-carotene - Antioxidant
Glycoconjugates – Carbohydrates that link to lipids and proteins
Glycogen – Converts into glucose when needed by tissues
Retinoic Acid – Metabolite of Vitamin A, used in treatment of acne

Minerals

Calcium – Activates enzymes
