Colostrum is a highly-concentrated source of
powerful immune and growth factors produced from mammary glands shortly after
giving birth. Pure Encapsulations Colostrum is derived from BSE-, hormone-,
pesticide- and antibiotic-free herds. As a nutritional supplement, this pure,
rich source of bovine colostrum provides exceptional, synergistic
support.* Immunoglobins, lactoferrin, proline-rich
polypeptide, lymphokines, interferons and interleukins for immune support.* Growth Factors including Insulin Growth
Factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) and Transforming Growth Factors (TGF-A and TGF-B).* Oligosaccharides and lysozyme for intestinal
support.* Processed to maintain the natural low fat
content (which aids in protein utilization) and to preserve nutritional
activity of the proteins.* Standardized to contain 30% IgG.* Immune Support: Immunoglobins, the most
abundant types of immune factors in colostrum, are large protein molecules that
include Immunoglobins G (IgG), A (IgA), E (IgE), D (IgD), and M (IgM). Each has
a specific role in natural defense, including activation of various immune
cells. IgG is found in the highest concentration and helps to neutralize toxins.
Lactoferrin is a versatile, iron-binding protein that enhances the body’s
ability to utilize iron and also stimulates immune system cells. Proline-Rich
Polypeptide (PRP) is a hormone produced by the thymus gland to help balance and
activate the immune response. Lymphokines, interferons, and interleukins are
proteins that activate the functions of various immune cells. Growth Factors
include Insulin Growth Factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) and Transforming Growth Factors
(TGF-A and TGF-B). These growth factors, identical in composition to human
growth factors, have demonstrated the ability to enhance immune cell function.* Intestinal Support: Oligosaccharides and
lysozyme help maintain a healthy intestinal membrane and promote the growth of
friendly bacteria. Studies show that other components of colostrum, including
lactoferrin, also promote intestinal function.* Healthy Body Composition: Growth factors
found in colostrum promote glucose and fat metabolism for fuel, support protein
synthesis, and help maintain lean muscle. This supports healthy body composition
and has demonstrated the ability to support speed and strength training and to
nutritionally support healthy connective and nerve tissues in the body.* Pure Encapsulations Colostrum 40% IgG, derived
from USDA and FDA certified dairy farms in the U.S., is defatted and processed
at low heat to preserve nutritional activity. Pure Encapsulations recommends 5-7 capsules per
day, in divided doses, on an empty stomach or at least 30 minutes before a meal,
with 8-12 oz water. At this time, there are no known side effects or
precautions. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this
product. At this time, there are no known adverse reactions
when taken in conjunction with medications. He F, Tuomola E, Arvilommi H, Salminen S. Modulation of
