Colostrum
is a rare natural treasure!
The calf receives practically no immunoglobulins from the mother during
gestation. It is born without any active immune protection. The complete immune
system of the mother with all its immune factors gets transferred to the calf with the first suckling of colostrum. This guarantees the newborn an optimal start into life.
Since the
majority of the immune factors are not species-specific they can also be
transferred to humans. Large proteins such as antibodies unfold their
effect in the gastrointestinal tract while smaller immune factors such as
hormones can be absorbed into the blood.
Why can
the farmer collect colostrum for our production?
This is
only possible because animals such as cattle, goats and sheep have been bred for
milk production. The milk yield of dairy cows has increased over decades - and the amount of colostrum too. The cows
from our Swiss suppliers give a surplus of 2-5 litres of colostrum within the first 6 hours after birth. So please rest assured that the calf always gets its share in the first place.
We endeavour to process this 'liquid gold' as gently as possible in order to offer you high-quality QuraDea
colostrum products.
