Colostrum & Lactoferrin
Colostrum and Lactoferrin are essentially breast milk that mammals produce just after giving birth. Lactoferrin is a protein found in breast milk. It is the early milk as it is produced first and is a thick consistency, and a yellow/ gold color before it takes on the regular appearance of milk.
It is highly nutritious and is great for fighting infections, especially in newborns.
Colostrum and Lactoferrin supplements are made from the colostrum of cows, we call this Bovine (Bovine Colostrum). It is pasteurized, freeze-dried, and crushed into a powder. It can be taken as a pill or mixed into liquids to drink.
Benefits may include:
- Help to strengthen the immune system. It is packed with vitamins minerals and antibodies
- It can also prevent bacterial and viral infections associated with diarrhea
- May Promote Gut Health. Colostrum stimulates the growth of healthy cells in the digestive tract which can strengthen the gut wall
- Lactoferrin is also great for fighting bacterial, viral, and fungal infections whilst also having anti-inflammatory properties too.
