Bovine Colostrum, Immunity & the Aging Process

Article by Dr. Zoltan P. Rona MD MSc 
 
Definition and History
 

Colostrum is the first mammary secretion nourishment that any mammal, including man, provides for its newborn for the first 24-48 hours of life. It contains numerous immune system and growth factors, which trigger at least fifty processes in a newborn, ranging from the development of the immune system to the growth of all body cells. Laboratory analysis of immune and growth factors from bovine colostrum are identical to those found in human colostrum except for the fact that the levels of these factors are significantly higher in the bovine version.

Conventional medical doctors were, at one time, enthusiastic about using colostrum for antibiotic purposes. This occurred prior to the introduction of sulfa drugs and penicillin. In the 1950s, prior to the wide scale use of corticosteroids as anti-inflammatory agents, colostrum was used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Polio vaccine developer, Dr. Albert Sabin, discovered that colostrum contained antibodies against polio and recommended it for children susceptible to catching the disease. Bovine colostrum has been used therapeutically in India for thousands of years by Ayurvedic physicians.

In the past five years, North American scientists and health care practitioners have rediscovered this natural, whole food supplement. Bovine colostrum is gaining prominence because of its myriad clinical and preventive applications in humans, a fact which has not escaped the notice of drug manufacturers who have tried to copy (genetically engineer), patent and market several of the individual components of colostrum.

Well known colostrum components like interferon, gamma globulin, growth hormone, IgF-1 and protease inhibitors are all used by conventional medical specialists in the treatment of cancer, chronic viral infections including HIV and autoimmune disease. There are now over 4000 clinical studies from around the world detailing research that has been done using colostrum in the treatment of
dozens of different diseases.

Genetically engineered versions of IGF-1 and GH are presently marketed as anti-aging and AIDS drugs which are sold by prescription for between $800 to $1,200 dollars per month. They are found naturally in high concentrations in colostrum but at a fraction of the cost of the genetically engineered versions.

Components

The two major components of colostrum are immune factors and growth factors:

Immune Factors

* Immunoglobulins (A, D, E, G and M) - neutralize toxins, viruses and bacteria in the lymph and circulatory systems.
* Lactoferrin - antiviral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, iron-binding protein with therapeutic effects in cancer, HIV, cytomegalovirus, herpes, chronic fatigue syndrome, candida albicans and other infections.
*Proline-Rich Polypeptide (PRP) - a hormone that regulates the thymus gland, stimulating an underactive immune system or dampening an overactive immune system as seen in autoimmune disease (MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, etc.).
*Leukocytes - white blood cells that stimulate the production of interferon which slows viral reproduction and penetration of cell walls.
*Enzymes - lactoperoxidase-thiocyanate, peroxidase and xanthine oxidase destroy bacteria through their ability to release hydrogen peroxide.
*Lysozyme - a hydrolyzing agent and immune system booster capable of destroying bacteria and viruses on contact.
*Cytokines - interleukins that regulate the duration and intensity of the immune response, are responsible for cell to cell communication, boost T-cell activity and the production of immunoglobulins. Interleukin-10 is strongly anti-inflammatory, especially in arthritic joints.
*Trypsin Inhibitors and Protease Inhibitors - prevent the destruction of immune and growth factors in colostrum from being broken down in the GI tract; they also prevent H. pylori from attaching to the walls of the stomach and can have a beneficial role in the treatment of peptic ulcers.
*Lymphokines - hormone-like peptides produced by activated lymphocytes which mediate the immune response.
*Oligo Polysaccharides and Glycoconjugates - attract and bind to pathogens (Strep., E. Coli, Salmonella, Cryptosporidia, Giardia, Entamoeba, Shigella, Clostridium Difficile Toxins A & B and Cholera) preventing them from attaching or entering the mucous membranes.
*Other immune Factors - some of the documented immune factors include orotic acid, secretory IgA, IgA Specific Helper, B Lactoglobulin, Lactalbumin, Albumin, Prealbumin, Alpha 1-Antitripsin, Alpha 1-Fetoprotein, Alpha 2-macroglobulin, Alpha 2-AP Glycoprotein, C3, C4 and Orosomucoids.
*Vitamins - A, B12 and E are found in small amounts while traces of all others are also present in colostrum.
*Sulfur - a mineral with multiple uses in metabolism and as part of many structural body proteins.

Growth Factors

The growth factors found in bovine colostrum all boost cell and tissue growth by stimulating DNA and RNA formation. Studies show that these growth factors are capable of increasing T-cells, accelerate healing, balance blood glucose, reduce insulin need, increase muscle and bone growth while metabolizing fat. Colostrum growth factors include:

*Epithelial growth factor (EgF)
*Insulin-like growth factor-I and II (IGF-1 and IGF-II)
*Fibroblast growth factor (FgF)
*Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
*Transforming growth factors A & B (TgA and B)
*Growth hormone (GH)

Important Uses

Completely healthy individuals can supplement with colostrum just to maintain their vitality and good health. Colostrum stimulates lean muscle growth and increases endurance while encouraging the burning of excessive body fat. It helps to reverse this and many other signs of aging.

IgF-1 is required by the body to metabolize fat for energy through the Krebs cycle. With aging, less IgF-1 is produced in the body. Inadequate levels are associated with an increased incidence of Type II diabetes and difficulty in losing weight despite a proper nutritional intake and adequate exercise.
Colostrum provides a good source of IgF-1 as a complementary therapy for successful weight loss.

Colostrum is an ideal supplement for athletes. Exhaustive workouts and athletic competition can temporarily depress the immune system, decreasing the number of T-lymphocytes and NK cells.
Athletes are therefore more prone to develop infections, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Many of colostrum’s immune factors can help significantly reduce the number and severity of infections caused by both physical and emotional stress.

Fighting viruses with the use of conventional medical approaches is, at best, problematic. Standard vaccinations and antiviral drugs can all cause significant side effects including death. On the other hand, hundreds of studies indicate that colostrum is a safe and effective agent for both the prevention and treatment of common viral illnesses.

Heart Disease of all kinds can be helped by colostrum’s ability to regenerate heart muscle via its growth factors. The interferon and lymphokine components of colostrum fight cancer while diabetics can benefit from colostrum’s growth factors.

Colostrum benefits over 60 known immune and auto-immune diseases including the following:

AIDS
Allergies
Arthritis
Asthma
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
Bacterial infections
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Candidiasis
Crohn’s Disease
Depression
Fibromyalgia
Multiple Sclerosis
Parasites
Rheumatoid Arthritis

Product Quality

The number of supplement manufacturers offering bovine colostrum to the public is growing with each passing day. At present, bovine colostrum is available at health food stores, through health care practitioners or from multi-level marketing distributors without prescription. Unfortunately, there are several poor quality colostrum products on the market which are biologically inactive due to improper processing through the use of high temperatures and pasteurization. The formation of colostrum into tablets is a method that requires high pressure and generates heat, thereby destroying activity.

Colostrum in liquid form is also less than ideal. It is not as concentrated as the powdered versions of the product, must be kept refrigerated due to its short shelf life and preservatives must be added that further dilute and destroy its biological capabilities. Further, some sensitive individuals can react adversely to these chemical preservatives.

To get optimal health results from colostrum supplementation, make sure that the brand you purchase is either in powdered or encapsulated powder form and produced organically - free of pesticides, herbicides, and anabolic hormones. Purchase product that originates only from USDA certified plants that follow strict quality control procedures and who, by law, must test all the colostrum they produce.

Low heat processing, the removal of fat, whey and lactose as well as laboratory testing to insure biological integrity and safety are the rigid standards which must be met by high quality supplements. The supplement manufacturer must be able to supply the consumer with independent assays demonstrating that the product contains the active immune and growth factors.

Dosages

In the treatment of adults with serious immune system diseases, clinicians usually prescribe 1000 - 2000 mgs. twice daily of the dried, encapsulated form of colostrum, best taken on an empty stomach with 8 - 12 ounces of water. Preventive doses have not been established but several authors recommend continuous dosing at levels decided upon primarily by the consumer/patient. For those who show no clinical response to colostrum, the dosage can safely be doubled or even tripled as
needed until the desired results are obtained.

Children can also take colostrum but require proportionately less. Herxheimer reactions (mainly flu-like symptoms) can occur as part of the healing response in up to 40% of the cases but are usually mild and disappear with continued supplementation at the same dosage level. Through hundreds of years of use and over 1000 clinical studies, colostrum has been demonstrated to be completely safe without drug interactions or side effects at any level of ingestion.

Colostrum may well be the only practical protection on the planet against autoimmune disease, cancer and other incurable diseases. It is completely natural, free of side effects and an excellent alternative to hundreds of drugs. If you are worried about vaccinations, AIDS, hepatitis, biological warfare, herpes, allergies and chronic fatigue syndrome, colostrum is definitely worth your consideration.

If you are one of the millions of women and men looking to slow normal bone loss that comes with aging, Garden of Life^® has great news for you. Get ready to experience the Grow Bone System with RAW Calcium™ and Growth Factor S. The Grow Bone System is intended to stimulate bone growth, increase bone strength and bone mineral density, and has been clinically demonstrated to do so.^† Backed by human clinical studies, Garden of Life is confident that the Grow Bone System will help build stronger, healthier bones.^†
The clinically-studied ingredients found in the Vitamin Code Grow Bone System featuring RAW Calcium™ have been shown to:

• Reduce Risk of Osteoporosis^††
• Stimulate Bone Growth^†
• Increase Bone Strength^†
• Increase Bone Mineral Density^†

 What’s in the System?

The Grow Bone System starts with Vitamin Code^® RAW Calcium formulated with AlgaeCal RAW Clinical Strength. This patented ingredient is an ocean-derived raw, organic, whole food, plant-form of calcium, naturally rich in 73 bone-building minerals and trace elements.

In order to maximize the benefits of Vitamin Code RAW Calcium, Garden of Life has added powerful minerals such as raw magnesium and boron.^† Finally, live probiotics and enzymes are added to the product as well as raw organic fruits and vegetables, for what could be the most complete whole-food calcium supplement available today. 

Vitamin Code RAW Calcium Features:

Thyroid Care - EuroPharma - Terry Naturally

Available at Vitamin Wagon

Thyroid Care 

EuroPharma - Terry Naturally

Supports Thyroid, Immune and Complete Metabolic Function*
Iodine with L-Tyrosine

Recommendations:2 capsules daily, may increase up to 4 capsules daily.

Thyroid Care™ provides superior nutritional support for healthy thyroid and immune function. Optimal levels of iodine benefit the thyroid gland and enhance metabolism.

This formula now provides three forms of iodine for even greater overall support beyond the thryoid, although that is still it's primary target. For example, research shows that molecular iodine supports breast health, while sodium iodide and potassium iodide are the best form of support for thyroid health and the creation of thyroid hormones.*

L-Tyrosine is an important amino acid which is absolutely necessary for the body to produce thyroid (as well as noradrenaline and dopamine) hormones. It is impossible to have a well functioning thyroid without sufficient quantities of tyrosine combined with iodine either in the diet or through supplementation.*

SUPPLEMENT FACTS

Serving Size:  2 Capsules
Servings Per Container:   30

	Amount/Serving	Daily Value
Iodine (as potassium iodide, sodium iodide, and molecular iodine [from kelp])	30,000 mcg (30 mg)	20,000%
L-Tyrosine	400 mg	**
**Daily Value (DV) Not Established

Other Ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable capsule, and silicon dioxide.

No: sugar, soy, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, dairy products, artificial flavoring or artificial preservatives. It contains only natural ingredients. Color variations are normal.

If pregnant or nursing, consult a health care practitioner before using.

Thyroid Care

How it Works:

Thyroid Care is formulated to provide targeted support for the thyroid gland. A healthy thyroid gland is important for proper metabolism and immune system function. This formula provides iodine and l-tyrosine, which are required by the thyroid in order to synthesize thyroid hormones.

Iodine 
Iodine intake is required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.* Low iodine intake, or iodine deficiency, is associated with hypothyroidism. The median US urinary iodine excretion fell from 320 mcg/d to 145 mcg/d between the early 1970s and the early 1990s and some subsets of the population may be at increased risk for moderate iodine deficiency. This reduction may be related to changes in dietary choices and increased avoidance of salt (the primary dietary source of iodine). ^1-3 Thyroid Care contains three types of iodine, which helps provide support beyond thyroid concerns as well:

Molecular iodine 
A review paper examining results obtained in studies of breast health noted that while all forms tested (molecular iodine, sodium iodide and potassium iodide) produced beneficial effects, the best results for breast support were achieved with iodine.*⁴

Sodium and Potassium iodide 
Potassium and sodium iodide are the forms of iodine utilized by the thyroid. Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones. Supplemental iodide is important for optimal thyroid function.*^5-7

L-tyrosine 
L-tyrosine is the precursor for the formation of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), as well as epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine.*⁸

How it Works:

A unique combination, this formula provides curcumin and boswellia to relieve occasional muscle pain due to exercise and overuse. The amino acid d,l-phenylalanine promotes positive mood and nattokinase increase circulation to move the beneficial compounds to the areas of the body where they are needed.*

d,l-phenylalanineDL-phenylalanine is an amino acid consisting of equal parts d-phenylalanine and l-phenylalanine. D-phenylalanine helps maximize the effects of enkephalins. Enkephalins are associated with positive mood and have been shown to relieve occasional muscle pain due to exercise or overuse.* L-phenylalanine is converted into tyrosine, which in turn is used to produce the brain chemicals norepinephrine and dopamine.^1-3

Boswellia (Boswellia serrata)Clinically tested boswellia (BosPure®) helps relieve occasional pain associated with exercise or overuse.* A compound (beta-boswellic acid) found in boswellia which interferes with its beneficial activity has been removed, greatly increasing the effectiveness of this extract.^4,5

Curcumin (Curcumin longa)
Curcumin, a compound found in the spice turmeric, is associated with many benefits, including: immune system modulation, protection from oxidative stress, and relief from occasional pain due to exercise or overuse.* The specialized extract in this formula has up to 10 times the absorption and blood retention time of standardized 95% curcumin extracts.^6-12

NattokinaseThe enzyme nattokinase helps promote blood flow, aiding the other ingredients in the formula to reach all areas of the body.*^{13, 14}

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How does hair grow?

A: Hair is composed of keratin, a special protein that is also found in skin and nails. Each hair, contained in a follicle, goes through regular cycles of growth and rest. Scalp hair grows about ½ inch per month. The typical person loses about 50-100 hairs every day.

Most people do not associate hair and its growth as part of a living structure of the body. For hair to grow and have the outward appearance of thick, shiny and lustrous hair, it too needs nutrients that are critical for healthy hair. We have come to believe that to have beautiful hair we only have to treat our hair with shampoos, conditioners and cosmetic products to improve the quality of our hair. While certainly high quality hair products are important to improve the shine and look of our hair, they can never effectively nourish the hair root and shaft for new hair growth and quality.

Q: How much should I use?

A: That depends on your situation. For healthy hair, we recommend 2 softgels daily. For more advanced needs, you can boost that to 4 softgels daily, and for serious hair concerns, consider 6 softgels daily.

Recommendations: 2 softgels daily for healthy hair, 4 softgels daily for more advanced therapy, 6 softgels daily for severe hair concerns.

Unlike shampoos and conditioners, which may only temporarily improve the outward appearance of your hair, Hair Renew Formula™ provides a balance of nutrients to support hair from the inside.

Millet Seed Oil Extract – a unique, clinically studied botanical rich in minerals and amino acids that support production of keratin, the main hair building block.

Biotin – is essential in the renewal process of the follicles and roots of the hair that are already growing. Supporting healthy hair growth can result in thicker, more lustrous hair.

B Vitamins – supports energy production in the fast-growing cells in hair follicles that are required for structural support.

Zinc – shown to improve hair quality, especially dry, brittle hair.

These components, along with other key ingredients in Hair Renew Formula, combine to provide maximum nutrient support for healthy hair growth.*

Additional Information:

Many factors have an impact on hair growth and quality, including stress, poor sleep, changes in hormone levels, and more. However, scientific research has also found that there are a number of nutrients that help promote beautiful shiny hair and sustain new hair growth.

Vitamin A retinyl palmitate
Vitamin A as retinyl palmitate is converted in the body to the active form, retinoic acid, which is important for hair follicles. Vitamin A also promotes healthy levels of sebum production, which is important for hair growth.

Vitamin E
natural mixed tocopherols Vitamin E is an important antioxidant which is particularly active in the outer layers of the skin, where it helps protect skin and hair cells from oxidative damage.

Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folic acid, Biotin, Pantothenic acid
The B vitamins aid in the absorption of L-methione and L-cysteine and provide energy for cell growth - important for fast growing cells such as the cells in hair follicles.

Zinc 
Zinc supplementation helps to improve hair quality, particularly for dry, brittle hair.

L-cysteine and L-methionine 
These amino acids are the essential buildings blocks for keratin formation. Keratin is the specialized protein that makes up hair and nails.

Millet (Panicum milaceum) 
Millet seed contains miliacin, a special plant compound that enhances the activity and growth of keratinocytes, the cells that produce keratin. In a clinical test, participants consuming millet seed oil had significantly better hair quality than those who did not receive the supplement.

Sunflower seed oil (Helianthus annus) and soy 
EFA are important for healthy skin and normal hair growth, and can help skin and hair retain moisture.

Silica (Equisetum arvense) 
Silica is a trace mineral found in bones and fast growing tissues such as hair, skin, and fingernails, which are especially dependent on silica for strength and resilience. It’s also a major building block of collagen, which is one of the constituents of hair and hair follicles.

TRI-IODINE (vegan) - EuroPharma - Terry Naturally

TRI-IODINE (vegan)

EuroPharma - Terry Naturally

Recommendations: 1 capsule daily with food.   

Iodine is one of the most important minerals required for healthy cellular and complete metabolic function. There is no life without iodine and it has been estimated that the entire population is deficient in iodine. For thyroid support and to protect against forming of a goiter, only small amounts of iodine are required. But today, doctors have found that all tissues of the body require iodine. The breasts, ovaries, uterus and prostate tissue require large quantities of iodine. In the early 1900s Dr. Szent-Györgyi, the discoverer of vitamin C, was reported to have said that they did not know what iodine did in medical terms but it did everything good and was used for almost all health conditions. It is also reported that he himself ingested 1,000 mgs a day of iodine. The quality of health of Japanese women is far superior to women in the United States. It has been estimated that Japanese women ingest 12.5 mgs of iodine daily. On the island of Okinawa there are a higher percentage of people over 100 than anywhere else in the world. It has been reported that they ingest, through their diet, 80 to 200 mgs of iodine daily. Could iodine be the missing link to good health? According to several holistic physicians, the answer would be yes. The book by Dr. David Brownstein, Iodine, Why You Need It and Why You Can’t Live Without It, says it all.*

“Iodine is the most misunderstood nutrient. After 12 years of practicing medicine, I can say that it is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. I have yet to see any item that is more important to promoting health or optimizing the function of the immune system than iodine.” 
–David Brownstein, M.D.

How it works:

Tri-Iodine

Iodine is an essential mineral. However, the average intake of iodine in the United States is much lower than in other countries, particularly Japan, whose residents may consume as much as 200 milligrams of iodine daily. Although perhaps most widely recognized for its role in the formation of thyroid hormones, many organs in the body utilize iodine. Breast, uterine, prostate, and ovarian tissues in particular have high iodine requirements. Tri-Iodine combines three different forms of iodine in order to provide complete support for all body tissue types.*

Molecular iodine 
A review paper examining results obtained in studies of breast health noted that while all forms tested (molecular iodine, sodium iodide and potassium iodide) produced beneficial effects, the best results for breast support were achieved with molecular iodine.*¹

Sodium and Potassium iodide 
Potassium and sodium iodide are the forms of iodine utilized by the thyroid. Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones. Supplemental iodide is important for healthy thyroid function.*^2-4
