A summary of clinically proven benefits
John Buhmeyer MS and Douglas Wyatt, Director, Center for Nutritional Research
Incredible performance for all ages
Colostrum is our first food of life. We get it from our mother’s breast immediately after birth. It was designed by nature to defend and protect us from infection, eliminate the pain and physical stress of birth and help us grow and develop perfectly. Some mammals, including cows, die if they do not receive colostrum immediately after birth. It has unsurpassed immune, autoimmune, allergy, gastrointestinal, athletic, diet and anti-aging performance. It is our first antibiotic and antiviral and has had more continued use than any other substance for health in cultures throughout the world than any other health product. It is the most clinically studied nutritional substance in the world. Immunoglobulins from colostrum were used by Dr Jonas Salk to develop the first oral polio vaccine.[1] Colostrum was proven to be effective against numerous deadly viruses, including HIV,[2] flu,[3] and rotavirus,[4] and in hospital patient studies was proven to be more than three times as effective as seasonal flu vaccines.[5] John Heinerman, PhD, one of the world’s leading medical anthropologists and the author of more than sixty books on food and nutrition, stated that without colostrum’s development by nature we would be extinct.[6]
Colostrum is nature’s most powerful super food, provided by and specifically for our species. As our first food of life it provides the infant with the ability to ward off and fight infection of all types,[7] creates lean muscle, bone, brain and nerve cellular growth and development. It stimulates epithelium (skin) cell growth in our intestines to close stomach and intestinal openings that are there at birth to allow colostrum’s components to reach all of our body structures to enhance growth and create perfect health.[8] Colostrum readies the body for nutrition and populates the bowel with healthy flora and fauna and enhances their growth and colonization.[9] It stimulates the body to utilize stored and ingested fat for fuel, and stops catabolism (the use of our own muscle tissue for fuel between meals) so we can grow strong and obtain radiant health.[10] How many times do we see breastfed newborns with their perfect skin and incredible health and wonder at the process that colostrum and mother’s milk delivers.
Even more amazing is that Colostrum activates and stimulates perfect immune responses to pathogens including viruses,[11],[12],[13] bacteria,[14] protozoa and fungus.[15],[16] It not only wards off their attacks, it primes the body to provide an immediate defense if they return. Colostrum signals the immune system to create antibodies to fight infection; it activates the creation and accelerated function of our immune response including macrophages, T-cells and NK/Natural Killer cells (that destroy infected or diseased cells in our body, making them up to 400% more effective),[17] to defend and protect all of our body’s incredible mechanisms. There is no substitute for colostrum for immune activation, modulation and perfection.
It also immediately reduces the inflammatory response to reduce the pain of birth. It provides the calming and soothing activation of serotonin[18] and dopamine[19] (neurotransmitters in the brain) to help ease the passage into life. All of this helps eliminate pain and shock from the body’s new environment. It also balances blood glucose levels[20] and enhances protein assimilation for perfect growth and development of all of our body structures.
BUT WHAT CAN IT DO FOR ME, I’M NOT AN INFANT
Colostrum’s benefits are universal and always available no matter what your age, and Colostrum is the same whether from a cow or from our mother. It is bio-identical in its form, composition and function. The same molecules that provide these seemingly miraculous benefits are ours to help assist us in this dangerous and virulent world we inhabit. But only if it is collected from healthy sources processed with upmost care and protected from degradation.
COLOSTRUM’S AND ITS COMPONENTS HAVE MORE SCIENCE, WITH MORE PUBLISHED PEER REVIEWED CLINICAL STUDIES, THAN ANY OTHER NUTRIONAL SUBSTANCE KNOWN.
But why would this be a surprise? If this weren’t true, something else would have been the first food of your life. Science and nature, our first food of life, perfect radiant health: This is one story that is not too good to be true.
Colostrum’s clinically proven benefits show that (the right) colostrum helps:
- Fight off and eliminate infectious processes. Clinically proven against nature’s most virulent viruses. It is three times more effective than vaccines against flu5. It helps stop and helps eliminate all types of infection throughout the body, even cryptosporidial diarrhea in late stage AIDS patients who have virtually no effective immune response.[21],[22] It mobilizes macrophages, T-cells and CD-4 lymphocytes and supercharges NK (Natural Killer cell) responses by up to twenty times.17 It activates the immediate production of defense mechanisms and coordinates body defenses for optimum health, something no plant or chemical substance can even come close to.
- It is a true immune modulator. It is the only immune support that does not rev up an already over responding immune response.[23] Colostrum’s components help balance immune responses and can assist in bringing back into balance over or improper immune responses that are associated with autoimmune conditions,[24] allergies,[25] asthma, diabetes,[26] etc. Colostrum is the only immune support appropriate for these conditions.[27] If you suffer from any other these conditions you should never take so called immune enhancers (boosters) as they can accelerate and worsen symptoms.
- Stimulates growth and regeneration of our all body systems. Our body goes through constant renewal. Every seven years you have a completely new body. Why not give it the same regenerative and growth possibilities it has at our beginning? Muscle, skin, bone, brain and nervous tissue regeneration is proven.[28],[29],[30],[31],[32],[33] Athletes, aging seniors, our children and those who just want more lean muscle tone for a radiant appearance, all can benefit from colostrum use.
Athletes: Clinical studies show that athletes have up to 20% more lean muscle strength,[34] stamina and performance,[35],[36] stronger immune defenses (helps eliminate the after work out susceptibility to infections),[37] plus accelerated healing from injuries and strenuous physical exertion.[38],[39] Colostrum also enhances brain chemical response[40] for better visualizations and concentration.
Dieting: Accelerates and supercharges every diet and exercise program. Colostrum has been clinically proven to help us burn fat, build and retain muscle, increase metabolism, and stop burning muscle tissue between meals. It balances blood sugar for enhanced energy and vitality and helps better brain chemical balance that lessens mood swings and cravings.
Anti-aging: Who doesn’t want more muscle and strength, a sharper mental process, less fat around the middle, better immune responses, radiant GI health and optimum nutritional uptake? Colostrum is clinically proven to provide all of this; it also helps reduce inflammation[41],[42] and better balance brain chemicals. Better, more effective than anti-oxidants, growth hormone or any other therapy for strength, mobility, brain chemical function and protection and infectious defense necessary for active senior lifestyles. [43],[44],[45]
Infants and growing children: They need the same benefits after infancy, especially if they where not breast fed long enough, have food or other allergies, improper immune responses. Increases brain development, bone and muscle strength and decreases subjectivity to infections. Colostrum powder should be added to all infant formulas to replace the loss of its invaluable components and nutrients only available in colostrum and mother’s milk.
Scientists estimate that over 85% of all chronic disease begins in the GI tract. And this is where colostrum is vital for the prevention and healing of GI damage.
GI and stomach health. GI health is vital to disease prevention at all ages. GI permeability (Leaky Gut Syndrome) is a pandemic problem with over 85% of our population affected.[46] Odds are this means you and your whole family. It is acknowledged to be the primary cause of autoimmune and allergic responses and the cause of many chronic disease conditions.[47] It is caused by taking antibiotics, pain and other medications (see FDA warnings), acidic beverages (sodas, coffee etc), alcohol, and other environmental factors. It results in allowing foreign particles and toxins to cross into our bloodstream through our GI and stomach lining that produce adverse immune reactions, internal infections and other conditions that include the destruction of our own body structure and tissue. Probiotics cannot prevent and heal GI tissue. They only crowd out bad bacteria to reduce infections.
Only colostrum has been proven in numerous clinical studies to prevent and heal this damage and stop this destructive process. Colostrum growth factors prevent and heal stomach and GI damage. It stimulates and helps colonize beneficial flora and fauna (probiotics). It fights and helps eliminate GI infection and inflammation. It helps eliminate and clear the bowel of pathogens (bad bacteria). It initiates GI immune responses and helps us optimize nutritional intake.

So who needs Colostrum?
It appears that just about all of us could use these incredible benefits. Try it for yourself and see. We all need help to fight off and eliminate infection; increase our energy, strength and stamina; generate better bowel health; increase our mobility; regenerate and replace injured and worn out cells in our muscles, skin, bones, nerves and brain tissue; reduce stress and help achieve calm, effective mental processes.
Why Colostrum-LD™ (Liposomal Delivery)?
Colostrum has large and small molecules that are very sensitive to light and heat. When it is fresh from the mother its small molecules are absorbed in the mouth and throat and are very quickly distributed throughout the body to initiate immediate immune response and communication. Then the larger molecules are passed on to the small intestine where they do their work.
Laboratory tests show that past infancy colostrum can be mostly destroyed by stomach acids and digestive enzymes if not protected and delivered properly. Sovereign Labs is the world leader in the effective delivery of colostrum.
Colostrum-LD™ is first of all the finest, purest and most effective colostrum available. Certified to be BST, antibiotic and mad cow free. Taken from only pasture-fed US grade A dairy cows. It is gently processed and certified to contain the maximum amount of colostrum’s vital components. Then it is wrapped into a liposome (structural coating) made from phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl serine and other phospholipids that protect and enhance delivery of all of colostum’s components to the intestine, body organs and structure for maximum and enhanced performance. Liposomal Delivery is a state-of-the-art delivery system that has decades of science behind it that guarantee its performance and effectiveness.
Robert D. Milne, MD a renown expert in Liposome Delivery (LD) certifies in his book on liposomal encapsulation that: “Liposomal encapsulation has a proven ability to enhance usability and bioavailability by up to 1,500% or more”.[48] In addition the encapsulation material brings tremendous health and longevity benefits of its own. Colostrum without protection is mostly digested and turned into expensive protein.
Colostrum’s small components are called peptides and include PRPs, cytokines, interleukins, interferon and other immune factors. They can be destroyed by stomach acids and digestive enzymes when passing through the stomach. They can be separated and are much more effective for mouth and throat delivery as sprays. The spray makes these more pleasant than capsules and provides a quicker enhanced delivery. Sovereign Labs uses an exclusive and patent pending process to carefully extract and concentrate these in three separate formulas they are extensively studied with clinically proven effectiveness and are doctor recommended.
Colostrum IC ™ (Immune Concentrate): up to 24 times more immune performance than regular colostrum.
Viralox® (Nature’s first broad spectrum anti-viral, antibacterial pathogenic support)
IRM (Immune Response Modulator)™ Proven effective, Helps balance immune functions, anti-inflammatory. Unsurpassed allergy and autoimmune response support.
