You will be getting greater benefits because your body will be able to utilise the constituents more. You may even find that you don't need to take as much as normal because your body is able to absorb all the nutrients. How does colostrum produce the anti-aging results? Alpha Lipid Colostrum works with your body to utilise its natural substances and increases your overall health. After puberty our body begins slowing down the production of growth hormones. These hormones are necessary for the reproduction of all of our body's cellular tissue. It has been shown that by age 80 we are producing virtually no growth hormones and thus, we age and die. Alpha Lipid Colostrum's growth factors are the actual hormones that stimulate the normal reproduction of body cellular tissue. Normal reproduction means just that (normal) not aged, cancerous, wrinkled, or weakened. The New England Journal of Medicine (a few years back) stated that the most effective anti-aging process would be simply the replacement of growth hormones at proper levels to slow, possibly stop and even reverse the aging processes. How Does Colostrum Work? The main function in the new-born is in the form of transfer of passive immunity from the mother to the child. The mother has been exposed to a variety of environmental factors and organisms to which her immune system has produced antibodies during her lifetime. In transfer of passive immunity the mother passes on her complement of antibodies to these various factors onto her offspring. In humans and apes the mother passively immunises her young in-utero by passage of antibodies through the placenta. In animals where maternal antibodies do not pass the placental barrier (horses, cattle, pigs, and sheep) the young are passively immunised immediately after birth by way of colostrum. In these species the maternal antibodies present in the colostrum are absorbed directly through the gut in the first few days following birth. How much colostrum should I take? The amount of Alpha Lipid colostrum you take varies from person to person. The label suggests 2 to 3 capsules twice daily, but if you are recovering from an injury you may want to start by taking more than this. Also, if you feel a cold or flu coming on, you may want to increase your dosage, to help you recover more quickly and relieve your symptoms. I am vegetarian and I do not eat animal food.

Antibodies are very specialised molecules that are produced by the body's immune system. They are produced in response to the host being exposed to an immunogenic or foreign substance (antigen) such as an infectious microbe. Their action is to ward off and/or neutralise potential disease-causing agents. An important feature of antibodies is that they are directed specifically to the antigen that induced their formation. What are growth factors? Growth factors are very small bioactive molecules, which promote growth and maturation of various cell types and tissues. They are found in very high concentrations in Alpha Lipid colostrum. They not only stimulate normal growth and development but also help regenerate and accelerate the repair of aged or injured muscle, skin, bone, cartilage and nerve tissues. Growth factors also stimulate the body to burn fat for fuel instead of muscle tissue in times of fasting or dieting. They also help build lean muscle and have been shown to have a positive effect on athletic performance. What are Immune Factors? In addition to immunoglobulins, there are other substances in Alpha Lipid colostrum that have an immune function. Collectively, these are termed "Immune Factors". Their function is to complement the various functions associated with the immune response. What are Immunoglobulins? The immunoglobulins are a group of specialised bioactive proteins or molecules found in serum and other tissue fluids, including the milk of all mammals. There are five classes of immunoglobulin that are recognised in mammals - Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin M (IgM), Immunoglobulin E (IgE), and Immunoglobulin D (IgD). The function of these molecules is to bind to invading organisms and to activate specific actions that help prevent to prevent infection and to rid the body of disease causing agents. They function in cell killing, inflammation and prevention of bacterial and viral attachment. The most prevalent class of immunoglobulin in all species is IgG. Immunoglobulins have an integral role in the immune defence system in that they form antibodies. What if I'm a sports person? Sports people's bodies need optimum nutrition and they frequently injure themselves when playing sport. Using Alpha Lipid colostrum is vital for sports people, both for optimum and faster rates of healing after injury. Referring to the growth factors, these help build lean muscle and have been shown to have a positive effect on athletic performance. What if I'm lactose intolerant? The amount of lactose in Alpha Lipid colostrum is scant - 163 mg. in two capsules compared to 13,000 mg. in one 8-oz glass of milk. In fact, we know of people with severe lactose intolerance since young who have taken Alpha Lipid colostrum successfully, with no ill effects. Further, they later became lactose tolerant and could use a full range of dairy products. Any discomfort would more likely be a sign that Alpha Lipid colostrum is healing the digestive tract. What if I'm over weight? Alpha Lipid Colostrum from New Image is great for making the body work more effectively, which makes weight loss easier. As mentioned previously, growth factors stimulate the body to burn fat for fuel instead of muscle tissue, in times of fasting or dieting. Why do I need colostrum, as an adult? The human body produces the maximum amount of growth factors in the early twenties. Once puberty has passed, our bodies begin the aging process by gradually producing less of the immune and growth factors that help us fight off disease and heal damaged body tissue. Alpha Lipid Colostrum is the only natural source of these life-giving components. Why is Colostrum important? Colostrum is the first food that is available to the new-born. It is not only highly nutritious but also contains substances (immunoglobulins and immune factors) that help to stimulate and augment the new-born's immune system thus helping to protect the vulnerable new-born from it's new potentially harmful environment (passive transmission of immunity). Further it contains substances (growth factors and cytokines) which act to stimulate the development, maturation and proliferation of various tissues and organs. The significance of colostrum is best illustrated in farm animals, such as the horse, cow, goat, sheep and pig. In these animals passive transmission of immunity occurs after birth in the form of colostrum. If these animals do not receive colostrum in the first 12 - 24 hours following birth, they have a very good chance of not surviving (mortality rates of up to 25% have been reported). Why New Zealand Colostrum? New Zealand Alpha Lipid Colostrum is recognised as the world’s premium colostrum. Why? Because it is collected only from pasture-fed cows, that are pesticide, antibiotic and hormone free. New Zealand has a strong competitive advantage in colostrum production due in part to NZ's dairy cows all calving during a single three-month period each year. This means NZ Alpha Lipid Colostrum from New Image is collected in bulk and transported in a fresh chilled state from farms to the processing plant, in the same way as milk. This is a critical production advantage, because gentle handling, and low temperature collection and process technology preserve Alpha Lipid Colostrum's active ingredients. In other countries, colostrum is collected in batches until there is enough to process. This means it must be stored for long periods before processing, so it is frozen. Rapid freezing and rapid thawing techniques prior to processing may cause damage to the protein molecules and may compromise the integrity and biological activity of the immunoglobulins, growth factors and other biologically active components. The absolutely best source of colostrum is from the early milk of pasture fed, non-hyperimmunised, healthy New Zealand cows. It is our temperate climate combined with our farming practices which make New Zealand the absolute best supplier of Alpha Lipid colostrum. Further, New Zealand milk products are renowned worldwide for their quality and consistency in both manufacture and supply. International quality auditors to ISO 9001 standards certify the testing laboratories and all manufacturing facilities. Side Effects? There are no negative side effects when using Alpha Lipid Colostrum from New Image and the growth factors produce significant positive side effects, which are: •Reduces wrinkles •Accelerates fat burning •Regulates mood swings •Balances blood sugar levels •Increases performance •Accelerates wound/tissue healing •Increases mental alertness For more CLICK HERE
