Colostrum contains over 90 immune factors, including the naturally occurring IgG and IgA Immunoglobulins. Supplementation with freeze-dried Bovine Colostrum may benefit dogs with food or seasonal allergies, as it contains proline-rich polypeptide (PRP). Research studies on bovine colostrum report that PRP may stimulate an underactive immune system to deal with disease. Most importantly, it can suppress an overactive system that results from autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
Colostrum is a milky fluid released by mammals that have recently given birth before breast milk production begins.
Colostrum is an important source of nutrients that may promote growth and help with disease. Although all mammals produce colostrum, supplements are usually made from cows' colostrum, known as bovine colostrum.
Bovine colostrum is rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, disease-fighting proteins, growth hormones, and digestive enzymes.
