Our Science Turns Milk into Medicine
Milky Way Life Sciences uses science to turn colostrum into medicine. Known as Nature's Super Food, colostrum - the first expression of milk before production begins - contains significantly more nutrients than regular milk. These nutrients help the body fight disease, promote growth, boost immunity, and treat infection.
Who Can Colostrum Help?
The benefits of bovine colostrum are well known. Colostrum has been studied by medical scientists for decades to treat a range of illnesses including diarrhea, colitis, Crohn's disease, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), late onset of Type 2 Diabetes and some cancers. While clinical studies are ongoing, and further investigation is needed, the properties found within bovine colostrum clearly have medical benefit.
Why Colostrum?
Bovine colostrum is highly nutritious. It is higher that cow’s milk in protein, fat, carbohydrates, magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamins A & C. Its health benefits are linked to several specific protein compounds.
Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is a protein in your body’s immune response to beat infections, including those caused by bacteria and viruses.
Growth factors (GF's)
Growth factors are hormones that stimulate development. Bovine colostrum is especially high in two protein-based hormones with insulin-like growth factors - IGF-1 and IGF-2. These hormones help accelerate growth.
Antibodies
Antibodies are proteins, also known as immunoglobulins, which are used by your system to fight bacteria and virus. Bovine colostrum is rich in the immunoglobulins IgA, IgG, and IgM.
