- High-quality dried colostrum from first goat's milk
- Sourced from Dutch grass-fed goats
- Has a high content of immunoglobulins (27%)
Hepatica Capra Colostrum is a dietary supplement that contains in one capsule as much as 500 mg of dried colostrum, standardized to high content of immunoglobulins (27%). The product contains unique colostrum extracted from pure colostrum of the first goat's milk, the composition of which is very similar to human milk.
Colostrum (a.k.a. colostrum, youngstock) is the initial milk secreted by female mammals during birth and for the first few days after birth. Its consumption provides support for the proper work of the infant's immune system, which has not yet been fully developed, and strengthens passive immunity to pathogens.
Within the first day after birth, females of all mammals, including goats, are able to produce enough colostrum to fully meet the needs of the offspring. Excess colostrum, especially if it is of high quality, can be preserved and then used not only in livestock nutrition, but also as part of the human diet.
Composition of colostrum
The composition of colostrum depends largely on various factors, such as the species of animal, breed, genetic traits and diet used. Goat colostrum has a very similar composition to that produced by humans and consumed by their young offspring. Its main advantages are the high amount of minerals (phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium), vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C, E), enzymes, proteins, fatty acids and the presence of immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lysozyme and lactoperoxidase.
Immunoglobulin (IG) is a protein secreted by B lymphocytes in the course of an immune response of the humoral type. They are distinguished by their ability to specifically recognize antigens. Immunoglobulins play an important role in the body's defense against pathogens.
In conclusion, Hepatica Capra Colostrum is a dietary supplement that, due to its high content of immunoglobulin and other biologically active proteins, can provide natural support to the body, for example, during periods of increased infections or during antibiotic therapy.
