Looking for a supplement for the whole family? Colostrum contains immune factors that help to fight off upper respiratory infections, builds your immune function and protects your stomach from bad bacteria.
Research has shown that the immune and growth factors in cow’s colostrum are nearly identical to those in human colostrum. Bovine colostrum is not species-specific and can benefit all mammals, including humans.
As we age, our bodies gradually produce less and less of the immune and growth factors that help fight disease, repair body tissue and promote energy and vitality. With the decline of these components over time, we age until we eventually die. Colostrum is the only natural source of these life-supporting immune and growth factors.
Furthermore, dairy cows produce an abundance of colostrum—more than enough to supply human needs without depriving newborn calves.
Sequence Colostrum uses only the first milking collected within the first 6 hours, which has the highest concentration of beneficial immune and growth factors. Our cows are sourced from grade A, USDA certified dairy cows from a small, family run farm.
The ideal dosage of colostrum will vary amongst individuals and depend on factors such as age, weight and health. In general, the greater the immune system enhancement and growth support desired, the greater the dosage. Research has shown that as little as 125mg of genuine first milking colostrum taken orally is sufficient to trigger an immune response. Start with the directions on the bottle and increase the dosage until you achieve your desired results. Or, alternatively, many people start at double or triple the suggested dosage and then gradually reduce it to a maintenance level after the desired results are reached. More colostrum can be taken during times of stress and illness to speed up recovery and reduce severity of symptoms. There have never been any reported side effects from taking too much colostrum.
Pediatricians recommend that infants who have not been breastfed be given colostrum to supplement their formula. Colostrum can help children recover from recurring viral or bacterial infections and most children can be helped at the onset of a cold or flu by giving them colostrum until the symptoms disappear.
