NOW's Super Colostrum combines colostrum with the herbal ingredients of western larch arabinogalactan, olive leaves, and astragalus herb to provide full support to our immune system.
Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins IgG, IgM and IgA, lactoferrin, PRPs, cytokines, and vitamins. It has anti-inflammatory action, which can help reduce pain from inflammation. It also contains binding factors that suppress IgE (immunoglobulin E), and act to prevent or avoid possible allergic reactions.
Oxidation of metabolic residues causes extensive DNA damage, which eventually leads to aging, cancer, and other degenerative diseases. Chronic oxidative stress can accelerate cellular aging in endothelial cells. Colostrum is rich in antioxidants, such as glutathione (the most powerful antioxidant of all), as well as its precursors.
Colostrum is well known to athletes as a means to increase lean mass without the dangerous side effects of steroids. It also helps in the quick healing of sports injuries, increasing anaerobic strength, performance time, and sprint performance. Finally, colostrum detoxifies the body starting from the gastrointestinal tract in a very healthy and effective way.
