What is Colostrum?

The most incredible life-supporting substance on the planet.

Colostrum is nature's first meal; it is the first mammary secretion that every mammal gives its newborn. Produced by the mother for only a short period of time, it contains numerous beneficial compounds that affect more than 50 processes in the body. It supports the immune system and the regeneration and rebuilding of our body.

The immune factors in colostrum provide protection for the newborn against bacteria, toxins, virus, and disease. Colostrum can offer this same protection to adults and children. The antibodies against many pathogens are contained in colostrum, which can protect us today and in the future.
Growth factors contained in colostrum are instrumental in promoting rapid healing and repair of damaged tissues in the newborn. In the adult, these same growth factors are involved in healing and repair of tissues and organs. With consistent use, the growth factors in colostrum continually regenerates and rebuilds the entire body. Literally anyone can benefit from colostrum. The youthful "side effects" include anti-aging, more energy, and building of muscle, elevated moods, smoother skin, better digestion, and fat loss; just to mention a few.

Colostrum Throughout History

For thousands of years, Ayurvedic physicians have used colostrum for medicinal purposes - for everything from immune deficiencies and age-related symptoms to treatment of the common cold. Prior to World War II, colostrum was known, worldwide, for its immune-boosting capability and was widely used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Even the polio vaccine was developed from antibodies contained in bovine colostrum.

In the last few years, the scientific community has rediscovered a multitude of benefits from this natural "food." Over 4000 clinical studies have been published on the use of colostrum and its components to treat a variety of diseases and health concerns. In fact, pharmaceutical companies have been so intrigued with several of the components in colostrum, that they have synthesized them for use in expensive anti-aging clinics.

Why Bovine Colostrum?

The immune factors and growth factors contained in bovine (cow) colostrum have been shown to be identical to those contained in human colostrum - not just identical, but up to 100 to 1000 times more potent. In addition, cows produce an abundance of this "first food" - enough to supply human needs without depriving newborn calves. For healing and regeneration, bovine colostrum may even be better than human colostrum, because of its potency.

The TWI Difference

True colostrum is produced before the actual birth of the calf and can only be collected for a short period of time (6-8 hours after birth), before the transitioning occurs into the production of milk. At the time of birth, potency is at its peak and the active elements such as immune factors, growth factors, metabolic factors, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents are at their highest concentrations.

However, in less than 12 hours, the concentration of these components is only half of what it was at the time of birth, and as time goes on it becomes less and less. What this means is that the sooner the colostrum is collected, the greater the concentration of beneficial factors.

Most producers of so-called colostrum admit that their product comes from the first 4 to 6 milkings after the birth of the calf - as old as 72 hours. TWI’s colostrum has a proprietary process of collecting only the first milking following birthing. It is never diluted with transitional milk - never adulterated - and never fractionated.

TWI has the only true colostrum in the world according to the research conducted at a leading University, and it's the cornerstone of the Lepti-Trim product line.
