IMU6 Colostrum

Introduction
Colostrum is widely accepted as a vital source of supplement that is suitable for everyone, ranging from infants to the elderly. The benefits of taking colostrum include higher energy levels, stronger immunity, toner muscles as well as anti-ageing effects like clearer skin and a better overall health.

In medical terms, colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mother's mammary glands during the first 72 hours after giving birth, after which it will be replaced by milk. Colostrum is thick and yellow in colour. This liquid is especially rich in proteins, antibodies and other nutrients that protect the young in its new environment while optimizing its growth processes.

When mothers breastfeed their infants, the colostrum in the mother's milk helps to stimulate and augment the infant's immune system. On top of protecting them from potentially harmful environmental factors, colostrum also helps to stimulate the development, maturation and proliferation of the infant's tissues and organs. This same colostrum is extracted and used in IMU6 Colostrum.

Why Do I Need IMU6 Colostrum?
Colostrum has always been misconceived to be suitable only for infants. However, extensive research over the years has shown that its benefits are present in humans (and even other mammalian species) of all ages. There are more than 5000 published scientific and medical research studies, 500 patents and 100 published clinical trials on colostrum, making it one of the most researched nutritional supplements in the world.

Colostrum can supply adults with precious immunoglobulin which are needed to prevent infections and purge disease-causing viruses from our bodies. It contains vital vitamins, minerals, essential antibody-building nutrients, immune factors, enzymes and other beneficial substances. Some of the positive effects of IMU6 Colostrum include accelerating the body's fat-burning mechanisms, slowing down the ageing process, regulating mood swings and maintaining a balanced blood sugar level. In addition, it also promotes tissue healing.

Colostrum also has epithelial (skin) growth hormones, which promote faster healing. It may also be of significant help to those who suffer from 'leaky gut syndrome' and irritable bowel syndrome. Leaky gut syndrome can be triggered by a variety of agents like antibiotics, steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs, through invasive bacteria and viruses or an over-intake of caffeine, alcohol and refined foods. Colostrum contains immunoglobulin and other factors which can reach the intact gut to attack the invading pathogens.

How Does IMU6 Colostrum Work?
Research has confirmed that bovine or cow colostrum is almost identical to human colostrum but contains four times as much immune factors. Moreover, the supply of bovine colostrum can be controlled and cultivated for mass consumption. What makes IMU6 Colostrum stand out from other commercially cultivated colostrum is that it is made purely from the bovine colostrum that is extracted during the first 6 hours of a cow's milk.

Bovine colostrum is used because of its extremely rich source of proteins, antibodies in the form of immunoglobulin and growth factors. Studies have shown that the bovine colostrum milked during the first 6 hours has the highest content of these constituents. The concept of using bovine colostrum is not new as it has been use to treat HIV-positive patients with chronic diarrhea. It is also a remedy against helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach ulcer.
