What Does it Contain and How Does
it Work?
Colostrum Contains the Following
Protecting, Regulating, and Support Factors
Protection
Immunoglobulins
Immunoglobulins fight against bacteria,
viruses, and yeast.
Colostrum contains immunoglobulins IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and Ig, M.
Leukocytes
Leukocytes stimulate the production of
interferon which slows viral production.
Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin defends against infection and
cancerous tumors. It is also anti-inflammatory.
Lysozyme
Lysozyme destroys bacteria and viruses.
Regulation
Proline-rich polypeptides
Proline-rich polypeptides both initiate
and suppress the immune response. Suppressing the immune system is
required to prevent the immune system from attacking the body
itself, as occurs with autoimmune diseases. (Ley)
Cytokines
Cytokines are interlukins that regulate
the intensity and duration of the immune responses. They are
highly antiviral and anti-tumorous.
Interlukin-10
Interlukin-10 reduces inflammation caused
by arthritis, infection or injury whether from surgery or trauma.
Lymphokines
Lymphokines regulate the immune response.
Support
Growth Factors
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)
Prolactin
Epithelial growth
Transforming growth factors A and B
Fibroblast growth factor
Gonadotropin releasing hormone
Associated peptide and growth hormone
While young, the human body produces
maximum amounts of growth factors. With increasing age less
andless of growth factors are produced. This is one of the reasons
that the physical body and the mind age, and why the
supplementation of growth factors can slow or reverse ageing.
Function of Growth Factors:
Promote wound healing and tissue repair
Stimulate growth and regeneration of cartilage, nerve, bone, and
muscle
Balance blood sugars
Increase the breakdown of fat
Serotonin uptake
It is believed that IgF-1 crosses the
blood brain barrier with the result of increased mental acuity and
increased serotonin uptake.
Leptin
Leptin increases the breakdown of fat and
regulates metabolism and body weight.
Neucleotides
Facilitate cellular energy transfer.
Amino Acids
Lysine, Arginine, Isoleucine, Threonine,
Methionine, Tryptophan, Leucine, Valine, Cysteine, Histidine,
Phenylalanine
Vitamins
A, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3
(Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), B12 (Cobalamin),
B13 (Orotic Acid), C, D, E, Biotin, Folic Acid
Minerals
Calcium, sodium, Iron, Manganese,
Phosphorous, Potassium, Copper, Iodine Magnesium, Choline, Cobalt,
Chromium
The above is not an exhaustive list.
There are other agents in colostrum which have evolved in
colostrum from the time of the earliest mammals to ensure survival
and promote health, strength, and vitality.
The above statements have not been evaluated by the Food and
Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
* The amount of lactose in Synertek
colostrum is too small to cause a reaction in lactose-intolerant
persons, at the maintenance level of usage.
** IgG content can be a measure of
colostrum quality, if the IgG level has not been artificially
raised by altering the colostrum, such as by removing the fat. For
highest quality colostrum make sure all of the above components
fall near the specified values.
