Frequently
Asked
Question's About Colostrum
How safe
is colostrum?
Colostrum is a
food. It
can be consumed in any quantity without
side effects or
drug interactions.
How does colostrum interact with
other supplements or prescription
medications?
Colostrum has no drug
interactions, but you may experience side
effects from
other supplements, herbs or medications you take.
Colostrum heals the bowel.
You may want to cut back or
even rethink other herbal and
nutritional
supplements. Medications may need to be re-evaluated for dose and need by
your
medical professional.
How much should I take and when?
It has been suggested that for
best results, colostrum should be
front-loaded
(taken in larger doses initially and then lowered after desired results
are
obtained).
For best results, begin with
2-3 capsules (1,000 to 1,500 mg.)
taken twice a day.
You could take colostrum when you wake in the morning and your stomach
is
empty and then again in the early afternoon.
Some people may experience a
healing incident as the body releases
toxins
(digestive problems, skin eruptions, rashes or flu-like symptoms).
These
symptoms usually disappear in a couple of days.
Colostrum's growth factors may
create initial pain in areas of old
wounds or
injuries as it heals. If this becomes uncomfortable, you may want to
cut back
increasing your intake slowly as you reach optimum levels.
What if I'm pregnant or nursing?
Yes. Ask your Doctor or medical
professional prior to taking any
prescription drugs,
over the counter medicines, herbal and nutritional supplements.
Can I give my children colostrum?
Yes. We suggest that you
consult
with your health care provider.
What about pets?
Bovine colostrum is not
species specific and works wonderfully with
cats and
dogs and other mammals. Open capsules and sprinkle the powder in a pet
dish...most pets love the taste of colostrum. Encourage them to drink
water
along with it.
I can't swallow the capsule. How
can I take colostrum?
Colostrum works best if it is
taken in capsule form, on an empty
stomach with
8-12 ounces of water.
If you cannot swallow
capsules, you may open the capsule and mix it
with a
few tablespoons of yogurt, applesauce or other food.
Don't forget the water. Try
not to take any food with the colostrum
or wait at
least twenty minutes before you eat.
I don't want to take colostrum
from the calves. Do they get enough?
The calves needs
are always
met first. Most calves would simply die
if they
didn't get colostrum.
How can colostrum help me lose
weight?
Colostrum contains IgF-1, the
most important growth factor in our
bodies.
Without
adequate amounts of
IgF-1, our bodies, during times of fast
(diet), will
burn muscle protein before they burn fat (catabolism).
The only means to increase
Igf-1 levels in the body is through
daily aerobic
exercise or colostrum (preferably both).
I need to gain weight, can
colostrum help?
Within about two hours of
eating, our body's blood glucose levels
are depleted
and we utilize sources of stored fuel (fat and muscle protein) for
energy.
It is easier for our bodies to
burn muscle tissue rather than fat.
By increasing
food intake along with exercise and colostrum, weight gain will come
through
increased muscle mass (muscle tissue weighs more than fat per volume).
How is colostrum anti-aging?
After puberty our body begins
slowing down the production of our
body's
Growth Hormones. These hormones are necessary for the reproduction of
virtually all of our body cellular tissue. It has been shown that by
age 80 we are
producing virtually no growth hormone, and so we age and die.
Colostrum's
growth factors are the actual hormones that stimulate the normal
reproduction
of body cellular tissue. Normal reproduction means just that (normal)
not aged,
cancerous, wrinkled or weakened.
The New England Journal of
Medicine ( a few years back) stated that
the most
effective anti-aging process would be simply the replacement of growth
hormones at proper levels to slow, possibly stop and even reverse the
aging
process.
Can colostrum help with my
depression?
Most of us are in search of a
means to increase the brain's
feel-good chemicals,
serotonin and dopamine. Colostrum is a natural and healthy means of
stimulating the brain to release serotonin and dopamine and prolong
their reuptake.
Colostrum also activates the
release of other chemicals in the
brain that affect
alertness and concentration. In fact, for most people, colostrum is so
effective
that we do not recommend taking it after 3 or 4 PM (the increased
energy may
interfere with sleep).
Does colostrum help with cuts,
and burns? After surgery or
accidents?
Colostrum's immune factors are
highly effective anti-bacterial and
anti-viral
agents to help reduce and eliminate infections in external injuries
(cuts, burns,
abrasions and surgical wounds).
Colostrum also contains
epithelial (skin) growth hormone that
stimulates
accelerated healing and powerful anti-inflammatory agents that can
eliminate
swelling and pain.
Open the capsule or take
powder and mix with sterile water or a
saline solution
to form a paste. This can be applied directly to the affected area.
Bandage if
needed. Reapply two to three times daily until healing is complete.
Does colostrum help with
gingivitis?
Colostrum's powerful
antibacterial factors have been shown to help
prevent and
treat gingivitis.
Application is made by
applying colostrum directly to the gum area
just before
retiring. Reapply nightly until better.
Colostrum has also been shown
to help control any pain before or
after dental
work.
What about MAD COW disease?
No case of mad cow disease has
been reported in the US to date. No
transmission of this disease has ever been connected with the dairy
industry,
either here or abroad. US dairy foods are considered a model of
consumer
safety and nutrition. We use a proprietary low temperature heat
treatment process that has been reviewed and accepted by federal and
state regulatory agencies to meet or exceed all testing requirements
for milk based products while still protecting the vital elements that
make colostrum unique.
I'm a vegetarian, I don't eat
animal foods.
The Rishis (India's spiritual
leaders) vegan diet has included
colostrum for
thousands of years. Today, in India, the milkman delivers colostrum to
the
wealthy.
Colostrum is really
neither animal nor vegetable but is unique unto
itself.
