About Colostrum

Colostrum is PACKED with awesome goodness, like immune factors, including immunoglobulins IgA, IgD and IgE that act as natural antivirals, Leptin and IgF-1, two key components that work to regulate metabolism, control appetite and convert fat into usable energy, growth factors to build and regenerate bone, tendon, muscle and other vital tissue and so much more. Due to it's ability to increase absorption of nutrients, regulate metabolism and improve immunity, it also tends to increase overall energy and vitality. Colostrum has been shown to interrupt H. pylori, a bacteria known to cause gastric ulcers, intestinal inflammation and gastritis. It has also been shown in human studies to protect the stomach and intestinal wall from NSAID induced gut injury and from conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Amino acids called proline-rich polypeptides have been shown in studies to be an effective preventative measure against Alzheimer’s and other age-related cognitive decline. PRP’s help the body prevent the buildup of beta amyloid, a protein fragment that accumulates and forms hard plaques in the brain of those with Alzheimer’s. And the list goes on with the potential of colostrum!

Even Better From Goats

What makes colostrum from goats better than colostrum from cows? Glad you asked!
Just like goat milk, goat colostrum is closer to human colostrum and more easily digested, absorbed, and utilized by the human body. Pretty awesome, right?! There are many colostrum supplements on the market and most of them are from cows (bovine). Although we do plan to milk our Highlands, I'm happy to have our goats for their superior (health wise) milk (and obviously, colostrum).
