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
and maintain health.
Immune Factors in colostrum have been shown to help the
body inhibit the binding of pathogenic invaders to the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 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 cryptosporidium.

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

Growth Factors help build and restore bone, muscle, nerve tissue, connective tissue, skin and
cartilage. These factors have also been shown to help increase lean muscle, help the body burn
fat for fuel, and assist in wound repair. Growth factors have also been shown to help slow the
signs of aging! Colostrum's growth factors may: |

Vitamins and Minerals are nutrients that are essential for normal metabolism, growth and
development. They act as coenzymes, enabling chemical process to take place throughout the
body. 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).

Immune Factors
Immunoglobulins - Antibodies
IgG – Neutralizes toxins and other harmful pathogenic invaders
IgM – Helps control antibody response
IgD – Helps support health of newborns
IgE – Involved in regulating allergic response
IgA – Helps inhibit the binding of pathogens to surfaces
Secretory IgA (SigA) – Found in mucous membranes, Helps inhibit the binding of pathogens to
surfaces
IgA Specific Helper – Stimulates the production of IgA
Lactoferrin – Powerful antioxidant, robs pathogens of the iron
 they need to proliferate Transferrin – Binds and transports
iron Glycoproteins: - (Including Protease and Trypsin
Inhibitors) Protect components from destruction
by stomach acids
