About Colostrum
The company processes bovine colostrum (first milk/beestings) into products for human consumption. Only surplus first milk from the initial milkings after calving, which is no longer needed by the calves, is used. Since raw colostrum has a high fat content, hard-to-digest proteins and possible contaminants, it is treated in the laboratory: defatting, physical separation of casein and decontamination. For decontamination, either conventional pasteurization or the gentler micro-sterile filtration process is used. The result is a yellowish-clear liquid whose ingredients – including immunoglobulins (IgG), growth factors, vitamins, amino acids, PRP, cytokines and lactoferrin – can be absorbed directly via the intestine. The website is available in German and English; no location is given.
