OUR PERSONAL BODY GUARDS

Our bodies have barriers that help protect us from the elements. Our skin is an important barrier to our muscles, veins, skeleton, and everything in between. Another invaluable barrier is our mucosa, or mucosal membrane.

MUCOSA: MORE IMPORTANT THANK YOU'D THINK

Mucosa lines the nose, mouth, lungs, stomach, and intestines. It also contains important molecules that support our immune system and help our body find relief from future immune responses to modern day threats. In our modern world, everyday toxins, allergens, and bad bacteria can take a toll on our mucosa and eventually overwhelm integral parts of the body — particularly the immune system.

ENTER: COLOSTRUM

Colostrum is full of tons of bioactive nutrients (see those below!) As it restores our gut barriers, it is one of the best ways we can heal, balance, and strengthen our immune systems so that we can fight infection with less effort and optimize our days, every day.

Why a Healthy Gut Barrier Matters

When our internal systems don't function their best, we experience the downside.

Our bodies' barriers (i.e. mucosa lining) fight infections, bacteria, toxins, and pollution. Over time, the barriers can weaken. This leads to health issues, decreased bodily function, and compromised immune systems. An unprotected barrier is vulnerable to infection, since toxins and bacteria are able to access our systems.

Bring in Colostrum: It can strengthen the gut lining to help keep the bad guys out of our systems. It's the modern day superhero... that's been around since mammals have existed.

Colostrum's Bioactive Compounds

Immunoglobulins

These antibodies are like calling in the cavalry to help your immune system’s first responders ward off invaders. They bind to pathogens, toxins, and allergens and neutralize the threat. You want to make sure you have a lot of immunoglobulins (such as IgA and IgG) on your side when you need them.

Growth Factors

Want to stay looking younger, build muscle, and recover from activity faster? Growth factors promote cellular regeneration and tissue repair that help you do exactly that. The great news is that colostrum is jam-packed with growth factors!

Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin induces multiple valuable biological effects, including iron absorption, immune modulation, enhancement of antimicrobial activity, and increasing the growth of epithelial cells (which are the first line of defense) in the gut.

Oligosaccharides

These prebiotics are incredibly beneficial for building gut health. Specifically, these prebiotics are a favorite food for the (good) bacteria species in the gut microbiome. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, to be specific, among others.

Proline-Rich Peptides

Also known as “signaling peptides”, these amino acids have the unique ability to control the immune system—increasing and decreasing our body’s immune activity as needed. When a pathogen is detected, PRPs are one of the primary signals to be sent out in order to mobilize our immune cells to defend and protect our body.

Sialic Acid

These sugar molecules found throughout cells in the body. Don’t worry, these sugars won’t spike your blood sugar. Instead, sialic acid plays an important role in cell-to-cell interaction and helps the entire body transmit necessary information. Newborns need an abundance of this vital molecule because it’s an essential nutrient for brain development and function. So much so that most sialic acid can be found in the brain!
