Your Immune System a Boost  What is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced from the
mother's mammary glands during the first 72 hours
after birth. It provides life-supporting immune
and growth factors that insure the health and
vitality of the newborn.

• Why do we need Colostrum? As we age, we notice it
  takes us a little longer to fight off a cold or
  flu, we become more vulnerable to disease, our
  energy and enthusiasm lessen, our skin loses its
  elasticity, we gain unwanted weight and lose
  muscle tone.
• After maturity, we gradually lose the immune and
  growth factors in our body. This impacts us to
  search for anti-aging and health products and
  knowledge. 
• We've looked to plants and minerals for an
  answer, isolating and mega-dosing on vitamins and
  minerals.

Aging, illness and death occur with the loss of
immune and growth factors in our bodies. Medical
science has shown in many published reports
worldwide that these can possibly be replaced in
the human body....with bovine colostrum. Bovine
colostrum is not new. In India, for thousands
of years, Ayurvedic physicians and the spiritual
leaders have documented the physical and
spiritual health benefits from colostrum. It is
dried and delivered by the milkman and is known
for its healing and therapeutic ability.

• Scandinavian countries have been making a
  delicious colostrum pudding and dessert topped
  with honey, for hundreds of years, to celebrate
  the birth of calves and good health.
• It was used in the US as an early antibiotic that
  was in much favor until the discovery of
  penicillin and other antibiotics. 
• In the late 18th Century, Western scientists
  began to study colostrum and document its
  benefits for survival, growth and development for
  the newborn.

Today, there are thousands of published
scientific and clinical studies of major health
benefits associated with colostrum. What is
Lactoferrin? Lactoferrin helps increase natural
iron bio-availability, is a powerful antioxidant,
and helps support a healthy immune system.  
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found
in human secretions like tears, saliva, milk
and mucous   Helps enhance iron transport and
absorption   Helps promote a healthy balance
of natural intestinal flora

May have anti-aging properties by helping prevent
the formation of free radicals that trigger
oxidation . Helps contribute to host defense
against pathogens by protecting lymphocytes
against free iron What are plant sterols? Plant
sterols are extracts of certain plants that, when
ingested, inhibit the absorption of cholesterol
in the small intestine.  Thus, dietary
cholesterol never gets into the system. Plant
sterols are present naturally in small quantities
in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals,
legumes, vegetable oils, and other plant
sources. Plant stanols occur in even smaller
quantities in many of the same sources. Both
stanols and sterols are essential components of
plant cell membranes and structurally resemble
cholesterol.

    Foods supplemented with plant sterols may
reduce cholesterol and are a promising addition
to interventions aimed at lowering heart disease
risk.   Main Source http//atoz.fitness/index.php
