Colostrum's Bioactive Compounds

  • Immunoglobulins

    These antibodies are like calling in the cavalry to helpyour immune system's first responders ward off invaders.You want to make sure you have a lot of immunoglobulins(such as IgA and IgG) on your side when you need them.

  • Growth Factors

    Want to stay looking younger? Growth factors maysupport tissue repair that help you do exactly that. Thegreat news is that colostrum is jam-packed with growth
    factors!

  • Lactoferrin

    Lactoferrin induces multiple valuable biological effects,including iron absorption, immune modulation,enhancement of antimicrobial activity, and increasing thegrowth of epithelial cells (which are the first line of
    defense) in the gut.

  • Oligosaccharides

    These prebiotics are incredibly beneficial for building guthealth. Specifically, these prebiotics are a favorite food forthe (good) bacteria species in the gut microbiome.Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, to be specific, among
    others.

  • Proline-Rich Peptides

    Also known as "signaling peptides", these amino acidshave the unique ability to control the immune system-increasing and decreasing our body's immune activity asneeded. When a pathogen is detected, PRPs are one ofthe primary signals to be sent out in order to mobilize ourimmune cells to defend and protect our body.

  • Sialic Acid

    These sugar molecules found throughout cells in the body.Don't worry, these sugars won't spike your blood sugar.Instead, sialic acid plays an important role in cell-to-cellinteraction and helps the entire body transmit necessaryinformation. Newborns need an abundance of this vitalmolecule because it's an essential nutrient for braindevelopment and function. So much so that most sialicacid can be found in the brain!

      How can colostrum impact your health?

      When you choose top-quality colostrum, your gut health can experience major benefits. Rich in bioactive nutrients, it leads to impacting your health in many areas beyond the gut.

      Optimize gut health

      Taking colostrum powder on a regular basis provides the gut with the prebiotics and the necessary tools to strengthen the gut lining, decrease unnecessary gut permeability, and increase good gut bacteria. This helps to make the digestive system more effective in extracting nutrients and helps the body spend less energy fully processing food.

      Want to strengthen your gut or prevent intestinal permeability? Reduce the bloating (and the gut bubbles) and feel more comfortable in your own skin with colostrum.

      Fortify your immune system

      Among the many antibodies present in colostrum, lactoferrin and immunoglobulin G (IgG) play an important role in helping the immune system stay strong and ready for anything. When the immune system needs some backup for fighting against future potential threats, colostrum can help.

      Improve energy

      With higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals than that of cows’ milk, colostrum benefits every part of the body’s systems with its sheer nutrient density. Add that to colostrum’s immune support, and your body can spend less energy on fighting bacteria and more on what matters most.

      Strengthen sinus & respiratory health

      When allergies, colds, and respiratory infections strike, the mucosa in the mouth, nose, and lungs take a beating. Colostrum helps to fortify the barrier that coats these important parts of the immune system with vital bioactive compounds such as immunoglobulins and lactoferrin—offering relief from seasonal allergies. 

      Enhance skin radiance & elasticity

      Growth factors and other bioactive components in colostrum can benefit the body from the inside out. Some studies have shown that colostrum can help assist with skin cell regeneration and support skin cell development. This can maintain skin elasticity and give it that warm, healthy glow.

      FAQ

      What is Bovine Colostrum?

      Colostrum is the pre-milk produced by mammals after giving birth. Bovine colostrum is specifically from bovines, including cows. This early life nutrition is very yellow in color, colostrum is also known as “liquid gold” due to high beta-carotene content. Colostrum is thicker than regular milk and packed with vitamins, minerals, and bioactive nutrients that help develop a healthy immune system and gastrointestinal tract (the gut).

      Like human babies, calves are not born with a fully developed immune system, so it’s vital that they get the colostrum they need to survive and thrive. Growth factors, immunoglobulins, bioactive proteins (such as proline-rich polypeptides), bovine milk oligosaccharides, antibodies, and more, are found to be especially rich in bovine colostrum.

      How is colostrum different from cows' milk?

      Colostrum is the milk produced within the first 24-72 hours after mammalian birth. It provides all of the essential nutrients and antibodies newborn mammals need in order to develop a healthy immune system and gut. It is very thick and yellow, hence its nickname “liquid gold.”

      Then, transitional milk takes over, which is the transition between colostrum and what we know as the “whole milk” that cows produce. This is still slightly yellowish in color, but starts to become more white.

      Finally, the mature bovine milk supply is established. Cow’s milk is high-volume, white in color, and provides all the nutrients we know and love such as vitamin d, calcium, and protein.

      How is Bovine Colostrum different from human colostrum?

      One of the main differences is that bovine colostrum actually contains less lactose than human colostrum. Did you know that human colostrum actually contains the highest amount of lactose for any species?!

      When it comes to immunoglobulins, human colostrum consists primarily immunoglobulin A (IgA). Bovine colostrum contains a multitude of immunoglobulins including IgA, IgG, IgE, IgD and many more.

      Bovine colostrum also contains 40 times more antibodies than human colostrum!

      How is colostrum helpful for adults?

      Gut issues are often found as the root cause for many health frustrations including bloating, skin issues, disrupted sleep cycles, sugar cravings, slowing metabolism and more. Colostrum is a gut superfood that helps address these problems and bring the body back into balance by providing a protective barrier throughout the body that strengthens the immune system and optimizes gut health.

      Not only is colostrum recognized for its unique composition, it is also a natural source of growth factors and other bioactive compounds. Growth factors are known to support the growth of new cells while repairing others. That means improved skin radiance and elasticity — keeping you feeling AND looking young!

      Can children take Colostrum?

      Absolutely! Whether or not your kids consumed breast milk as infants, colostrum can work wonders for their immune system and overall wellness. However, it is recommended for children 1 year and older; consult your health care provider if your child is younger than 12 months old. Also, children with severe lactose intolerance or dairy allergies should not take a colostrum supplement.

      How does WonderCow source Colostrum?

      We source only from US dairy farms who also have a “calf-first promise. ”That means the calves get every drop of colostrum they need before any of it is collected for supplementation purposes.
