Colostrum is the first milk secreted by a mammal after giving birth and is extremely important to the health of the child. In some cases it may be consumed in liquid, capsule, and powder forms.
Colostrum powder is usually made from bovine colostrum because that variety is the only one that is not species specific. Colostrum obtained from the initial milking undergoes stringent processes in manufacturing colostrum powder in order to avoid loss of nutritional benefits.
Colostrum powder is especially helpful to those who want to make use of the growth factors available in colostrum. Since the powder dissolves in water quickly, the growth factors are immediately available to the body. Also, when colostrum is taken in powder form, growth factors are enhanced by contact with saliva and stomach acids. According to research, these growth factors increase cell re-growth and decrease the signs of ageing. They also increase stamina and strength. This is one of the reasons athletes and body builders prefer to take the colostrum in powder form.
Colostrum powder can also be mixed in a liquid suspension, milk, or in the regular drinking water or with dry fruit. To serve bovine colostrum to your pets, sprinkle the powder per your vet’s prescription.
In manufacturing colostrum powder, bovine colostrum is taken from many different dairy farms. The raw colostrum obtained from these farms is then blended together. This offers the user a very broad spectrum on immunogoblins.
Colostrum obtained by artificial means should be consumed only when mother’s milk is insufficient to meet the colostrum needs of her offspring. Because for every species, including human beings, colostrum obtained from mother is the best food the nature can offer.
