Pure Colostrum provides a potent array of immune factors, including immunoglobulins, interferon, lactoferrin, and proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs). Some of these specific proteins found in Pure Colostrum are part of the innate immune system and provide important protection against harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Colostrum exerts anti-inflammatory actions that may help to reduce allergy symptoms. Anti-inflammatory compounds in colostrum, such as alpha-lactalbumin, help to stimulate the repair of intestinal membranes. Other benefits of colostrum for the gastrointestinal tract include healing the damage caused by NSAIDs. Colostrum has been shown to reduce the rates of recurrent gastroenteritis and improve faecal quality in puppies subject to the stresses of changing both diet and environment. Colostrum has been shown to stimulate canine skin fibroblast proliferation and activity, enhancing wound tissue repair. Pure Colostrum together with exercise may combat age-related degradation of the musculoskeletal system. Handpicked with Complete Traceability Handpicked from South Gippsland farms to ensure that only the best colostrum is collected. Each tub of Pure Colostrum can be traced back to the farm of origin and each cow. Our colostrum is collected from cows that are raised and fed on grass pastures in their natural environment all year round, optimising natural immunity. Pure Colostrum is hand harvested from a very small and select number of family farms and is collected and tested according to a HACCP process registered with Dairy Food Safety Victoria. Farmers depend on healthy calves for their future, so they inherently take care of them. They only take colostrum that is in excess to the requirements for their healthy calves and follow the Dairy Australia Colostrum Collection Guidelines. Improved Processing Methods The valuable proteins within Pure Colostrum are heat sensitive. The processing methods used in the making of Pure Colostrum are gentle and specifically designed for colostrum only and validated to ensure the bioactivity of the colostrum is made available to customers. Pure Colostrum is not altered and antibody levels are not artificially elevated in a factory i.e. membrane processing. The production plant is specifically set up for heat sensitive colostrum processing to make a superior product. Our colostrum is freeze dried at low temperatures - not spray dried at high temperatures. Pure Colostrum has been independently tested by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) against other brands and has shown to have greater levels of bioactivity of Immunoglobulins (IgG). Pure Colostrum is thoroughly tested for bioactivity before being released for sale. Listen to a podcast about the benefits of Pure Colostrum for dogs here.
