What is CapraColostrum?
It’s the thick yellow fluid which is produced as a
precursor to mother’s milk (cow, goat, human or other mammal). It is
nature’s transfer of immune factors that occurs the first two days
postpartum.
CapraColostrum is unique because it’s from goats—meaning
it’s from a source that is closest to human milk, providing the two most
important components for overall health—immune and growth factors. It
has shown to be easily tolerated even by those with the most compromised
immune systems, including victims of chemical sensitivities. Colostrum
from Mt. Capra comes from goats that are never fed synthetic
growth-hormones, antibiotics or feed that contains pesticides or
herbicides—the true essence of natural. Furthermore, it is processed
using Refractance Window™ drying equipment—proprietary heat transfer
technology that gently and efficiently removes moisture from delicate
product while preserving excellent nutrient levels.
Research has shown that colostrum has
powerful life supporting immune & growth factors that ensure the health
and security of the newborn. While supporting healthy immune function,
colostrum also enables us to resist the negative effects of contaminates
and allergens. In addition the growth factors in colostrum enhances
one's ability to burn fat, add muscle mass and rejuvenate skin &
cellular function.
Although many individuals are allergic to or
intolerant of milk and products derived from it, colostrum is NOT milk,
its composition is much different and tolerated by the most sensitive
individuals…after all, it’s nature’s first food.
How does colostrum work?
CapraColostrum is extremely beneficial in that
it provides the body with powerful immune factors. Some medical research
says the presence of a wide spectrum of Immunoglobulins, Antibodies and
Powerful Immune & Growth factors found in colostrum can be of wide
therapeutic help for optimal health & wellness. Colostrum has the unique
ability to support normal cell growth & tissue repair.
Colostrum and your immune system.
CapraColostrum provides immune supportive
agents called Immunoglobulins which include IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG & IgM.
These antibodies naturally fight off bacteria, viruses, allergens &
yeast. They can also promote muscle growth and aid in the production of
immune cells.
CapraColostrum is harvested from our own
goats which are never given hormones or antibiotics. CapraColostrum is
collected from the first two days postpartum lacteal secretions.
What are the benefits of colostrum
supplementation?
First of all, there are over 90 known
health-enhancing components in colostrum, the primary being immune and
growth factors. Immune factors in colostrum have been shown to:
- Fight harmful viruses, bacteria, yeast
and funguses
- Provide over 20 antibodies effective
against E. coli, salmonella, rotavirus, candida, streptococcus,
staphylococcus, H. pylori, and crystosporidia
- Contain immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE,
IgG & IgM) that have a multiple purpose:
- Support compromised immune system
- Balance overactive immune responses
such as those in autoimmune disorder
- Promote muscle growth
- Contain lactoferrin, an iron-binding
protein with antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
Growth factors in colostrum help build
and restore:
- Bone, muscle, nerve tissue, connective
tissue, skin & cartilage
- Lean muscle mass & burn body fat for
fuel
- Skin collagen and epithelial growth
factors to protect and slow the aging process
- Tissue and support integrity of the
gut lining
Additional benefits of colostrum
supplementation include:
- Immunoglobulins that neutralize and
protect the intestinal wall from dangerous toxins
- Encourages health-enhancing intestinal
bacteria like acidophilus
- Nucleotides and vitamins for immune
system support
- Peroxidase, lactoferrin and
polysaccharides for immune functions
- Support to heal the G.I. tract,
especially leaky gut syndrome
- Effectiveness in treatment of the
following disorders, but not limited to:
- Thrombocytopenia
- Anemia
- Myasthenia Gravis
- Guillain Barre Syndrome
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Systemic Lupus
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Crohn’s Disease
How should CapraColostrum be taken?
Researchers suggest starting with what is
called a “loading dose” (larger doses initially, then reduced after
results are obtained).
Loading dose:
- Capsules: Take 2-4 capsules
(1425-2850 mgs.) twice daily, on an empty stomach (first thing in the
morning and at bedtime). Occasionally it may interfere with sleep, if it
does, take second dose about two hours after lunch.
- Powder: Take 1-2 scoops
(1450-2900 mgs.) twice daily, on an empty stomach (first thing in the
morning and at bedtime). Occasionally it may interfere with sleep, if it
does, take second dose about two hours after lunch.
Maintenance:
- Capsules: Take 2 capsules twice
daily, on empty stomach.
- Powder: Take 1,450 mg (one
scoop) twice daily, on empty stomach.
Ingredients: Per Serving: Organic, Goat Milk
Colostrum 1,425 mg & Goat Milk/Cream 25 mg.
Athletes: To improve performance
and endurance, take 30-45 minutes before workout. Best results have been
reported at about 2850-5700 mgs. per day.
Competitive athlete cautions: The
insulin-like growth factors, IGF-I, found in colostrum, is similar to
the body building substances in hGH, which is illegal for athletic use.
The International Olympic Committee is looking into tests that will
detect hGH. One proposed test measures levels of IGF-I in the blood that
could lead to “clean” athletes who use colostrum to test positive. So,
before you use colostrum, thoroughly check into the testing procedures
used for the competition.
“Colostrum is the ideal solution for Leaky Gut
Syndrome. It reaches the gut while its components are still viable, its
immunoglobulins and other factors can attack the offending pathogens in
the intestines and prevent them from causing damage. The anti-aging
factors have anti-inflammatory action and also help repair damaged cells
in the lining, decreasing cellular spacing, thus preventing further
leakage.”
