What is Colostrum?
Colostrum, sometimes called "mothers' milk," is a thick yellow fluid produced from the mammary glands during the first hours after birth. This fluid is so important that without it, many newborn mammals would simply die. It is not only a source of nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals, but it also contains several biologically-active molecules which are essential to the body's immune and growth functions.

For obvious reasons, human colostrum is not an option. So researchers had to look elsewhere for supplies. After nearly 10 years of research, scientists now believe that bovine (cow) colostrum is the only safe alternative for human consumption. Not only are the immune and growth factors found in bovine colostrum virtually identical to those in human colostrum, the immune factors are reportedly four times richer.

Moreover, bovine colostrum contains special glyco-proteins and protease inhibitors, which are found extremely effective in protecting colostrum's active components from the destructive forces of the human body's digestive system.

Since colostrum is only available during the first hours after calving, and the needs of the newborn calf must be met first, supplies are obviously still very limited. And when you consider colostrum should be taken from only cows that are free of antibiotics, pesticides and synthetic hormones, supplies of the highest-quality colostrum are even more limited. (We'll discuss the processing of high-quality colostrum and where you can find it later in this article.)

The two most important components found in colostrum are immune and growth factors. Immune factors provide immunity and protection against infections during the first weeks of life, while growth factors stimulate the growth and eventual development of a newborn.

Southpole Sunlife Colostrum Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mother's mammary glands during the first 72 hours after birth. Colostrum provides life-supporting immune and growth factors that insure the health and vitality of the newborn.
After reviewing many years of scientific and medical research we believe bovine (cow's) colostrum is one of the most important health-giving, disease-fighting and anti-aging superfoods ever discovered. And, bovine colostrum is remarkably compatible for human consumption.The life-supporting power of colostrum, backed by science is proving to be so beneficial to human health, even the main stream medical community is finally beginning to stand up and take notice. Medical professionals who are recommending this all natural substance, understand it is a naturally perfect combination of immune factors, growth factors, and other components - all designed to encourage a vibrant, healthy body.
