Research has shown that once we pass puberty, our bodies gradually produce less of the immune and growth factors that help our bodies fight off disease and heal damaged body tissue. With the loss of these vital components, we age and die. Colostrum is the only source of these life giving components .. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Most of us are in search of a means to increase the brain's feel-good chemicals, serotonin and dopamine. To accomplish this, we look to nicotine, drugs and certain (usually unhealthy and fattening) foods. We begin to rely on these substances to maintain that 'feel-good' sensation. Colostrum is a natural and healthy means of stimulating the brain to release serotonin and dopamine and prolong their re-uptake. Lactalbumin in colostrum has been clinically proven to improve mood during stress. See similar questions...

No. Colostrum is the first mammary secretion that a mammal provides for its newborn for the first 24-48 hours. High quality colostrum is typically rich in immunoglobulins and growth factors. It is also typically expensive, since supplies are limited. Optimune contains the same immunoglobulins found in colostrum, though at a lower concentration. Whey protein, the byproduct of the cheese-making process, contains the majority of the immunoglobulins in cow?s milk. See similar questions...
