2. Why New Zealand Colostrum

New Zealand 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 Colostrum 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, low temperature collection and process technology preserve 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 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 that make New Zealand the absolute best supplier of colostrum. Furthermore, New Zealand milk products are renowned worldwide for their quality and consistency in both manufacture and supply. International quality auditors certify the testing laboratories and all manufacturing facilities meet ISO 9001 standards.

3. Why bovine colostrum?

Interestingly, bovine colostrum is the only form of colostrum that is not species specific. In other words, it contains all of the immune and growth factors found in all other sources and thus it can significantly benefit all other mammals, including humans of course.

Because calves are born without any immunity to airborne, disease-causing organisms, their mothers colostrum must contain a very large amount of immune and health factors. As a result bovine colostrum has 10 - 21 times the factors of human colostrum, making it the richest source of colostrum available.

MIP Colostrum is the ultimate in preserving all the natural transfer factors, increasing and enhancing the bio availability of the growth and immune factors to us.

4. Is bovine colostrum safe?

Bovine colostrums have been used for years as a food supplement, its use and safety is well documented. Colostrum is completely safe; it has no negative side effects and is a whole and natural food that can be consumed in ANY quantity. There are absolutely no toxicity levels. Further the manufacture and use of dairy products, and their associated safety and nutritional benefits is also well known. Through quality control management of the entire manufacturing process, from collection of the colostrum, through to packaging and storage, ensures the colostrum is delivered in perfect condition, certified to be fit for human consumption.

MIP Colostrum is Kosher and Halaal certified, manufactured using processes and equipment that are accredited to internationally recognised Quality Assurance standards.

5. I don't want to take colostrum away from the baby calf's that need it!

Don't worry, we don't deprive calves of their colostrum. Calves need it as much as any mammal and many calves would die without it. We make sure the calves get their fill first and then we take the remainder.

6. How Does MIP Colostrum work?

The main function in the newborn 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.

7. Should colostrum be pasteurised?

Absolutely! Cow manure can easily splash onto the udders contaminating them with E-coli, salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria. This creates the potential for contamination of dairy products.

Dairy products (for human consumption) must be pasteurised to kill these pathogens. There are two ways of pasteurising colostrum - the optimal flash (15 second) pasteurisation and a slow 30-minute vat process. Flash pasteurisation uses the expensive, high-tech equipment found in the modern dairy that does not denature the colostrum. With the less expensive, 30-minute pasteurisation process, a huge vat of colostrum is heated from the outside. It takes a long time to heat a large kettle of colostrum to the required temperature. During this interval, bacteria grow in the colostrum.

As the bacteria feed upon the colostrum, it denatures and destroys its effectiveness. Most colostrum that is being sold to the public today has been prepared for the animal feed market and has not been pasteurised. Colostrum is pasteurised to the most demanding of International Standards - 72°C for 15 seconds - to ensure the highest microbiological quality.

8. Do the immunoglobulins and growth factors in colostrum survive pasteurisation?

Tests have been carried out on colostrum (which is flash pasteurised at 72§ C for 15 seconds) show that the colostrum retains its bioactivity during this process.

9. How does Colostrum differ from plain milk?

Colostrum not only contains all the goodness of milk but also contains significant levels of growth promoting and disease fighting substances commonly referred to as growth factors, immune factors and immunoglobulins. These substances are also present in milk but at negligible levels. Further, colostrum has a much higher protein, vitamin, mineral content and is lower in lactose.

10. What if I'm lactose intolerant?

The amount of lactose in colostrum is scant - 163 mg. in two capsules compared to 13,000 mg. in one 8-oz of milk. Any discomfort would more likely be a sign that colostrum is healing

11. Can children take MIP Colostrum?

Absolutely. MIP Colostrum can help growing children in many ways, from better concentration, increased memory plus children have a higher tendency to catch colds and illness from other schoolmates and colostrum will help immensely.

12. Can I take MIP Colostrum with other supplements and medications?

MIP Colostrum actually helps your body and works to regulate your body's absorption rates. MIP Colostrum heals the digestive tract so well that all substances eaten internally (food, herbs, natural healing substances, and medications) will become more bioavailability to the body. Although MIP Colostrum has no known drug interactions, you may find that the other supplements and medications that you are taking could have a more pronounced effect.

13. How does MIP Colostrum interact with other medicines and supplements?

MIP Colostrum actually helps your body and works to regulate your body's absorption rates. In effect you will be getting more bang for your buck with everything you consume whether its water, supplements and food. You will be getting greater benefits since your body will be able to utilize them more. You may even find that you don't need to take as much as normal since your body is able to absorb all the nutrients.

14. How does MIP Colostrum slow aging?

The key to aging is our growth hormones. After puberty, our body begins slowing the production of our body's Growth Hormones. These hormones are necessary for the reproduction of virtually all of our body cellular tissue. It has been shown that by age 80 we are producing virtually no growth hormone. MIP Colostrum's growth factors are the actual hormones that stimulate the normal reproduction of body cellular tissue.

In The American Journal of Natural Medicine (March 1998), Dr. Zoltan Rona, referring to the growth factors in Colostrum, cites a study by Dr. Daniel Rudman who treated 26 men between the ages of 61 and 80 with growth hormones in Colostrum. Dr. Rudman found a decrease in body fat, an increase in bone density and lean muscle mass, and thicker, more elastic skin. Dr. Rudman said this is the equivalent to changes incurred over a 10 to 20 year period of aging. This suggests that the most effective anti-aging process would be simply the replacement of growth hormones at proper levels to slow the aging processes.

15. Should I be taking MIP Colostrum if I am pregnant?

MIP Colostrum definitely wont hurt you or your fetus, but as always with anything you take during pregnancy you should check with your health care professional first. Once your baby is born it would be beneficial to start taking colostrum right away. MIP Colostrum will help boost your immune system which suffers during child birth, it will help you recover faster and it will also help you to lose those extra pounds quicker associated with pregnancy.

16. What about my pets? Can they benefit from MIP Colostrum?

Yes! As a matter of fact, most pets love colostrum. Bovine colostrum is not species specific, dogs and cats will gain many health benefits from MIP Colostrum.

17. Can MIP Colostrum help me lose weight?

Yes. MIP Colostrum contains IGF-1, the most powerful growth factor in our bodies. Medical Research has shown that without adequate amounts of IGF-1, our bodies, during times of fast (diet), will burn muscle protein before they burn fat (catabolism). The only means to increase IGF-1 levels in the body is through daily aerobic exercise or MIP Colostrum.

18. How about weight gain?

Within about two hours of eating, our body's blood glucose levels are depleted and we utilize sources of stored fuel (fat and muscle protein) for energy. It is easier for our bodies to burn muscle tissue rather than fat. By increasing food intake along with exercise and MIP Colostrum, weight gain will come through increased muscle mass (muscle tissue weighs more than fat per volume). If you are an athlete, this can be very beneficial for performance.

19. Can MIP Colostrum help with depression?

MIP Colostrum is a natural and healthy means of stimulating the brain to release serotonin and dopamine and prolong their re-uptake. MIP Colostrum also activates the release of other chemicals in the brain that affect alertness and concentration.
