The first hour is the most important hour after your baby is born…

Every woman all over the world is equipped with all that is needed to provide warmth, love, comfort and nutrition to her new baby.  Where possible It is important that the first hour of your baby’s life is uninterrupted or not disturbed.  In this way the built in instincts are ignited and nature starts to provide the baby with his/her first feed …Colostrum

There are agents in colostrum which have evolved from the time of the earliest mammals to ensure survival and promote health, strength, and vitality….have a look at the list below to highlight the many benefits:

Protection

• Immunoglobulins
  • Immunoglobulins fight against bacteria, viruses, and yeast.
    Colostrum contains immunoglobulins IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and Ig, M.
• Leukocytes
  • Leukocytes stimulate the production of interferon which slows viral production.
• Lactoferrin
  • Lactoferrin defends against infection and cancerous tumors. It is also anti-inflammatory.
• Lysozyme
  • Lysozyme destroys bacteria and viruses.

Regulation

• Proline-rich polypeptides
  • Proline-rich polypeptides both initiate and suppress the immune response. Suppressing the immune system is required to prevent the immune system from attacking the body itself, as occurs with autoimmune diseases. (Ley)
• Cytokines
  • Cytokines are interlukins that regulate the intensity and duration of the immune responses. They are highly antiviral and anti-tumorous.
• Interlukin-10
  • Interlukin-10 reduces inflammation caused by arthritis, infection or injury whether from surgery or trauma.
• Lymphokines
  • Lymphokines regulate the immune response.

Support

• Growth Factors
  • Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)
  • Prolactin
  • Epithelial growth
  • Transforming growth factors A and B
  • Fibroblast growth factor
  • Gonadotropin releasing hormone
  • Associated peptide and growth hormone

While young, the human body produces maximum amounts of growth factors. With increasing age less and less of growth factors are produced. This is one of the reasons that the physical body and the mind age, and why the supplementation ofgrowth factors can slow or reverse ageing.

Function of Growth Factors:

• Promote wound healing and tissue repair
• Stimulate growth and regeneration of cartilage, nerve, bone, and muscle
• Balance blood sugars
• Increase the breakdown of fat
• Serotonin uptake
• It is believed that IgF-1 crosses the blood brain barrier with the result of increased mental acuity and increased serotonin uptake.
