The Advantages Of Colostrum Powder

May 08, 2023

Colostrum powder is a powder produced from bovine colostrum after processing. Its raw bovine colostrum is the milk secreted by healthy cows within 72 hours after birth. It contains precious active immunoglobulins and rich nutritional ingredients such as milk calcium, protein, and various trace elements, and is known as the "King of Immunization in the 21st century.". Research has found that bovine colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins, which can directly improve the immune capacity of the human body, supplement the deficiency of the immune system, reduce the chance of respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and other infections, and promote the development of children's brain, bones, and teeth, enabling them to thrive and grow healthily. Colostrum powder produced from bovine colostrum also has high nutritional and economic value. Bovine colostrum powder contains more than 7 kinds of growth factors, immunoglobulins, bioactive peptide binding proteins, and vitamins and trace elements required by the human body, thereby endowing bovine colostrum with a series of health functions. Oral bovine colostrum can improve system immunity, regulate intestinal flora, promote the growth and development of the gastrointestinal tract or the healing of intestinal tissue wounds, delay aging, and lower blood sugar.

Colostrum contains a variety of nutritional chemicals and biologically active substances, making it highly functional and a raw material for health food.
High mineral content. Colostrum, as the main nutrient for lactating newborns, often has more minerals than regular milk. Colostrum contains 23 minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, iron, manganese and other minerals, which are significantly higher than regular milk. However, the mineral content of colostrum varies with the breed of cattle and the time of colostrum extrusion.
Rich in amino acids, high in protein. The protein content of colostrum is much higher than that of regular milk, and can be 4-8 times higher than that of regular milk. The basic building blocks of protein are amino acids, and differences in the type, order and quantity of amino acids cause differences between proteins, as well as determining their function and nutritional value.
Immune and growth factors. A large number of experiments have shown that colostrum has high nutritional value and has the function of regulating human metabolism, improving the immunity of the body and fighting infections. Most of these functions are related to the unique nutritional components of colostrum, which contain immunoglobulins (IgG), lactoferrin (Lf), various growth factors and rich bioactive substances, which give colostrum a variety of health functions.
Immunoglobulin IgG in colostrum. Immunoglobulin is what we often hear as "antibodies". Immunoglobulins are produced by the body's immune system to recognize specific foreign substances (antigens), such as bacteria and viruses, and help the body destroy these pathogens. Bovine colostrum immunoglobulins are divided into 5 categories according to their antigenicity: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE and IgD, of which IgG accounts for 86% and it can partially replace the function of human IgA (content 41~4.57mg/g). The immunoglobulin content of colostrum (50~150mg/mL) is 50 times higher than that of human colostrum, which has a powerful effect on the prevention and treatment of viral, bacterial and fungal infections.

Colostrum contains high concentrations of immune factors, growth factors and antibacterial factors. Babies and children who take colostrum can improve their immunity and are less likely to catch a cold; adults with irregular diet and rest, and elderly people with poor immunity can also supplement colostrum and lactoferrin to regulate their physiological functions.
Colostrum contains a large amount of immunoglobulin and lactoferrin, which can bind with antigens such as pathogenic microorganisms and toxins to form antibodies, and lactoferrin also has antibacterial and antiviral effects, which can fundamentally improve the immunity of the human system and reduce the chances of human infection and disease.
The immune factors in colostrum can efficiently resist viruses, bacteria and other harmful substances, and inhibit the growth of many pathogenic microorganisms without affecting the growth and reproduction of non-pathogenic microorganisms in the intestinal tract, which can improve the function of the gastrointestinal tract and maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract.
Colostrum contains high calcium content, which is helpful for the growth of bones and teeth, and the anti-streptococcal antibodies in it can effectively prevent dental caries in young children. Colostrum also contains taurine, phospholipids, brain peptides and other nutrients that are essential for children's intellectual and growth development, which are beneficial for prolonging the survival of brain cells.
It has been proved that Bovine Colostrum Ex-tract (BCE) contains high taurine, insulin-like, fiber-bound protein, rich vitamins and appropriate amount of iron, zinc, copper and other trace elements, and the synergistic effect of various nutrients can improve the total serum SOD activity and Mn-SOD activity in the elderly, reduce the lipid peroxide content, enhance antioxidant capacity and slow down the aging rate.
