What you should know about "colostrum".
Colostrum is the first milk after giving birth. The newborn gets it as a "catalyst" to activate the body's defenses. After this, in a process of about 3-5 days, colostrum changes to normal milk. In terms of nutritional physiology this first milk plays a minor part. Thus, human babies rather lose weight in the first days. However, this colostrum from the mammary glands is of utmost importance for the formation of body defenses, a wholesome reaction to environmental conditions, and consequently the further development of the newborn. For a very long time this significance was underestimated. Nowadays, due to the advanced status of the latest analyses, it acquires its true importance.
Can children take Colostrum?
Absolutely. Colostrum can help growing children in many ways, from better concentration, increased memory plus children have a higher tendency to catch colds and illness from other schoolmates and Colostrum will help immensely.
Why is colostrum so precious?
Whereas newborns are born with a certain immune protection, this does not apply to ruminants. Cows have a 4-6-times placental barrier. This means that the placenta does not pass immunoglobulin’s to the unborn. That is why the newborn calf has to get this immune protection by means of the first milk. Now it stands to reason that the colostrum of cows is particularly rich in immunoglobulin’s. It contains agents of the immune system that, compared to their incidence in human blood, are concentrated up to 40-times higher!
Every farmer knows how indispensable colostrum is to the life of the calf. He would never keep this unique liquid from the calf. However, fortune favors us. Cows and goats give much more colostrum than needed by the calf. Hence we can supply our customers with the surplus. The older the cow or goat, the richer in content the colostrum is. This is perfectly normal, because the older the animal life form (including humans), the more antibodies are produced against invaders.
Considering the precise analysis of colostrum, it reads like a recipe of a highly technological product that doubtlessly can never be copied or produced artificially. Colostrum holds a multitude of messengers and is therefore capable of transferring not only its own ingredients to the cells, but also substances from daily food and dietary supplements that are essential to the body.
Why do I need Colostrum, as an adult?
once puberty has passed, our bodies begin the aging process by gradually producing less of the immune and growth factors that help us fight off disease and heal damaged body tissue. Colostrum is the only natural source of these life-giving components.
Colostrum - a fountain of youth?
So far, there are no scientific documents in support of this. In this context, an exceptional enzyme is discussed over the past years: telomerase. Currently, scientific research is done to check coherences regarding the question to what extent telomerase could be responsible for aiding the chromosome-end tracts after cell division. The impact on cell division is believed to be an essential feature related to all processes of age. Colostrum is the only viand known to us that contains the enzyme telomerase. Admittedly, evidence of telomerase could only be provided in fresh, genuine colostrum. Further scientific research needs to be done regarding the question whether telomerase, and so colostrum, can really influence cell division and the consequences of age.
Composition of colostrum
The most important components of colostrum can be broken down into two major categories: immune system factors and growth factors. Immunoglobulins, also called antibodies, are proteins produced by the immune system in response to bacterial, virus or other foreign invasion. Immunoglobulins make up over 50% of the protein component, providing specific anti-microbial protection by neutralizing bacteria, bacterial toxins, viruses and some parasites.
about Us
Biotaris B.V. is a Dutch Company and supplier of high-end bovine and goat colostrum products for many years. By developing a special cold-state-manufacturing procedure for processing raw colostrum further in a loss-free and gentle way, our colostrum products exceeds the common quality standards.
Our suppliers are farmers from Germany, Austria and France. We believe that they have the most precious share in providing us with wholefood products that ensure our survival. This is especially true for organic farmers that, against all resistance, held fast to their philosophy that involves a considerable effort in extra work. Great credit is due to them personally for collecting this precious resource.
Production
Manufacture of Colostrum
First of all, the liquid colostrum is degreased and after that directly deep frozen as it comes from the farm. Colostrum contains approx. 10% fat; therefore it would not be very digestible in its unprocessed form. The next step is the decaseination, in which those constituents are extracted from colostrum that are processed to cheese in a dairy factory. Colostrum whey remains that still contains such high-molecular elements that an immediate sterile filtration would be impossible.
For this reason the whey is micro filtrated so that only these constituents are left over that can pass the small pores of the filter. Those are the immunoglobulin’s (antibodies), growth factors, cytokines, interferons, interleukins, etc. Because bacteria are also very small, the sterile filter must not exceed a maximum size of 0.2 µ. Fortunately the protein molecules of the remaining ingredients are even smaller than the smallest bacterium. Afterwards it is refrozen to be freeze-dried.
In cold manufacturing, as it is used in our company, all ingredients survive processing. This procedure is a purely physical process, where neither chemicals nor other additives - except for one enzyme to separate the casein - are employed. We developed this procedure on the basis of the manufacturing techniques of biotechnology to protect the ingredients and to maintain their biological activity. Even the most sensitive ingredients like enzymes are preserved that way.
Colostrum is not only a highly nutritious functional food but it is also a substance that contains many life supporting and health promoting substances. The significance of Colostrum is best illustrated by the fact that most animals require Colostrum just after birth to survive. Some of these life supporting and growth promoting substances are as follows: antibodies, immune factors, growth factors, attachment factors, cytokines, oligosaccharides, essential fatty acids, and phosphides. The remarkable thing about Colostrum is that all these substances act synergistically in such a way as to enhance the overall effect of each individual component.
Quality
From the collection up to processing of colostrum, there are huge quality differences. Profound knowledge and a specific employment are needed to treat such vital and delicate product in the correct manner to ensure keeping the vitality of colostrum.Supplied by certified farms, exclusively from Germany, Austria and France
⇒ Collecting points with freezers
⇒ Clean collecting tanks and documentation of CT
⇒ Colostrum is frozen directly after milking
⇒ Collection by freezer lorry1. and 2. milking only, that means the first 12 hours
⇒ Specifically developed and patented cold processing procedure, does completely without heating
⇒ Bioactive substances are kept for 100% by using the latest and most gentle technologies
⇒ Due to the special treatment, it contains the natural enzyme telomerase! in the final product! as well
In the end, a gigantic combination of active ingredients results with free, vivid, and low-molecular vital substances (immunoglobulin’s, growth factors, proteins, vitamins and minerals). Biotaris and our suppliers have many years of experience in the production of high quality colostrum. In cold manufacturing, as it is used in our factories, all ingredients survive processing. For that reason we can guaranty you the best available quality in the market.
