What is Organika Colostrum?

Colostrum is the “first food of life” because it is excreted from the mammalian breast during the first 72 hours after birth.  It is rich in nutrients and substances called immunoglobulins and lactoferrin.  Immunoglobulins and lactoferrin support the maturation of the immune system, a process that is not completed until the second year of life in humans. They are antimicrobial, anti-allergenic and protective against toxins.  Natural health practitioners for a variety of conditions including colds and flus, chronic and frequent infections, wounds, burns, ulcers, diarrhea, intestinal inflammation, weight management and blood sugar imbalances recommend colostrum.

Immune System Health

The immune system is the police force of the body.  It is a complex system of cells that defend the body from invading organisms, regulate inflammation and control abnormal cell growth.  Many organs are involved in the immune response, the bone marrow, lymphatic system, thymus, liver and spleen.  Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

The spleen is a location where immune cells can monitor the blood for foreign matter.  It also speeds up red blood cell production and activates blood clotting. The liver can increase body temperature and induce sweating to help fight off infections.  The thymus produces B cells, which make antibodies, and T cells, which are part of the immune response.

The immune system is capable of fighting off intruders and remembering them so that they are killed off quickly if they invade again.  The immune system must be able to differentiate self from non-self in order to know what to attack.  If it does not recognize the body’s own tissue than autoimmune diseases occurs.

Adults: Take 1 to 2 Organika Colostrum Bovine 500mg capsules 2 times per day with a glass of water. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 8 weeks.
