WHAT IS COLOSTRUM? Colostrum is the fluid manufactured by the body prior to the production of mother's milk during the first 24-48 hours after birth. Research has shown that Colostrum has powerful life-supporting immune and growth factors that insure the health and vitality of the newborn. It brings the body into a natural state of equilibrium called "homeostasis", vital to health and well being. While supporting healthy immune function, Colostrum also enables us to resist the harmful effects of pollutants, contaminants and allergens. In addition, the growth factors in Colostrum enhance the ability of a healthy organism to burn fat, build lean muscle mass and rejuvenate skin and cellular structure. HOW DOES COLOSTRUM WORK? Colostrum is highly beneficial in the unique manner in which it provides the body with numerous immune factors. According to medical research, the presence of a wide spectrum of immunoglobulins, antibodies, and potent immune and growth factors found in Colostrum, offers tremendous therapeutic potential for overall health and wellness. Studies show that Colostrum has the unique ability to support normal cell growth and tissue repair, yielding exciting, new possibilities for system-wide rejuvenation. Aging and illness occur with the gradual loss of immune and growth factors in the body after maturity. The onset of almost all infection and degenerative disease, is preceded or accompanied by lowered immune system function. Colostrum contains powerful immune factors (immunoglobulin, lactoferrin, cytokines, etc.) that work to restore optimal immune functioning. Colostrum also contains PRP, shown in clinical studies to both enhance an underactive immune system and balance an overactive tendency. Doctors recognize that most pathogens enter the body through the mucous membranes in the bowel, then through to the intestinal tract. The majority of antibodies and immunoglobulins in Colostrum are not absorbed, but remain in the intestinal tract where they attack these pathogens before they can penetrate the body's defenses. GOATEIN™ IG COMES "BODY READY". The smaller molecules of goat's milk are closer in size and composition to human milk, making it easier to digest. Goat's milk is substantially less allergenic than cow's milk in sensitive individuals. Additionally, the protein portion of GOATEIN™ is pre-digested through a lactic acid fermentation process greatly enhancing bio-availability without damaging immunoglobulins. This method virtually eliminates the lactose content. Research has shown that milk proteins that have been pre-digested through lacto-fermentation are more efficiently absorbed than those in non-fermented milk. Fermentation produces many digestive enzymes that aid in the assimilation of food nutrients. In THE MILK BOOK, William Campbell Douglass, M.D. states; that the protein contained in cultured (lacto- fermented) dairy products is the very highest quality available for human consumption. GOATEIN™ IG is MINIMALLY PROCESSED. Most other milk based protein powders and colostrums are made from cow's milk, and though they claim to be "minimally processed," some use destructive methods involving high temperatures. These approaches denature many important amino acids and DESTROY enzymes and beneficial bacteria. Because GOATEIN™ is processed without the use of acid or excessive heat, the amino acids, enzymes and beneficial bacteria remain in their natural form. Most colostrum products are produced on farms and then shipped hundreds or even thousands of miles for processing. The colostrum used in Goatein™ IG is processed at low temperatures and dried on site while still at the farm. This guarantees high biological activity. GOATEIN™ IG IS HIGH IN IMMUNOPROTEINS. These building blocks of proteins are crucial for proper immune system function. Because GOATEIN™ is processed without excessive heat or acids, it contains biologically active Cystine, Glycine, and Glutamic Acid in tri-peptide form. The combination of these three amino acids produces Glutathione. Glutathione functions as a principal antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and environmental toxins such as lipid peroxides that can damage and destroy healthy cells. GOATEIN™ also provides immune supportive agents called immunoglobulins; including IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. These antibodies naturally fight off bacteria, viruses, allergens and yeast. One of the most important ingredients in colostrum is the IgF-1 constituent. This immunoglobulin has been studied for its ability to stimulate healing, promote muscle growth and aid in the production of immune cells. It also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, similar to the function of insulin, in addition to increasing the body's fat burning potential. "Immunoglobulins (found in colostrum) are able to neutralize even the most harmful bacteria, viruses, and yeasts", states Dr. Per Brandtzaeg; Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. GOATEIN™ IG contains a virtual army of immunoproteins, including PRP (Proline-Rich Polypeptide) which supports and regulates the thymus gland, Lactoferrin a protein that transports essential iron to the red blood cells and prevents harmful bacteria from utilizing the iron they require to grow and flourish, and Lactalbumins which research indicates may be highly effective against numerous viruses. Regenerate normal growth of muscle, bone, cartilage, skin, collagen and nerve tissue Help burn fat for fuel instead of muscle tissue during dieting Help build and retain lean muscle Synthesize DNA and RNA Balance and regulate blood sugar levels Heal burns, cuts, abrasions and mouth sores with topical application Help regulate blood glucose levels and "brain chemicals", providing alertness and better concentration GOATEIN™ CONTAINS POWERFUL PROBIOTICS and DIGESTIVE ENZYMES including protease, amylase, lipase and lactase. These enzymes contribute to the health of the digestive tract and can increase the utilization of GOATEIN™ as well as other dairy foods. Each serving of GOATEIN™ contains probiotics in a base of lacto fermented goat's milk protein combined with goat's milk colostrum. Fermentation by lactic acid bacteria creates biologically active lactic acid that plays a major role in energy production and fat burning. This lactic acid is also essential for proper pH balance of the gastrointestinal tract and other bodily tissue. Many of the healthiest and longest living people in the world have consumed lacto-fermented dairy products and attribute their Iongevity to this remarkable food. Research has shown that regular consumption of cultured (lacto-fermented) dairy products lowers cholesterol and protects against bone loss.
