Colostrum is Mother Nature’s "First Food", also known as, the "immune
milk" produced by all mammals for only the first few hours before and
after birth. Supercharged with 97 immune factors and 87 growth factors,
Colostrum is nature's "first food". Its adaptogenic properties have been
known to enhance rejuvenation and regeneration while strengthening the
immune system, allowing your body to thrive under any circumstance.
Widely known for its potent anti-aging benefits and broad spectrum
probiotics in their whole food forms - Colostrum supports good digestion
and is dense in nutrition, to assist in your health and longevity
strategy. Surthrival Colostrum is harvested from organically raised
cows and only harvested after the newborn calves get their share.
This is true, third party verified 6 Hour Colostrum. Surthrival
colostrum is low temperature spray-dried and contains no unnecessary
fillers or additives. At Surthrival we are committed to bringing you
the purest products with minimal processing.
Colostrum is an amazing material that, like many other
things in nature, reflects the evolutionary development of a unique
composition that will serve the needs of the offspring for which it is
intended. The most unique of the Colostrums from mammalian species occur
in bovines, where transfer of biological substances across the placenta
to the developing fetus does not occur and everything required for the
development of a healthy, productive offspring is provided in the
Colostrum. As such, bovine Colostrum provides a specialized resource
that offers the broadest possible spectrum of biologically active
substances that can promote the development of a sound body mass, assure
effective and efficient metabolism and support the activation and
maintenance of a fully functional immune system, capable of combating
potential insults from microorganisms and other deleterious sources.
Bovine Colostrum is also compatible with almost any species and can
readily convey its full benefits to humans by routine dietary
supplementation without the concern of adverse side effects or
contraindications.*
But remember, not all Colostrum is created equal. In
fact, nearly all Colostrum on the market is actually nothing more than
"transitional milk". Transitional milk unfortunately does not offer the
same benefit and may in fact cause sensitivity to those with lactose
intolerance. True Colostrum must be harvested within 6 hours from the
birth of the calf. Our Colostrum is the only independent 3rd party
verified true "6 hour" Colostrum.
Surthrival Colostrum is:

- Ethically harvested from USDA grade A cows
- Sourced within the United States
- BSE, Antibiotic, Pesticide and Hormone Free
- Low temperature spray dried to preserve bio-activity
- A whole food that is never defatted
Surthrival minimums of important constituents:
2300ng/g of IGF-1, 1.9% Immunoglobulin’s and 3% Proline-Rich Polypeptides.
Prior to the development of antibiotics and vaccines, Bovine
Colostrum was the most valuable source of immunoglobulin’s (anti-bodies)
used to fight infection. Increased development of antibiotic resistant
strains, as well as, concerns over vaccination has led some people to
return to natural, time-tested nutritional supplements. For many people
Colostrum is that dietary supplement.
The following is the summary of a clinical study on the prevention of Influenza with Colostrum compared against Flu Vaccination:
The efficacy of a 2-month treatment with oral Colostrum
in the prevention of flu episodes compared with anti-influenza
vaccination was evaluated. Groups included healthy subjects without
prophylaxis and those receiving both vaccination and Colostrum. After 3
months of follow-up, the number of days with flu was 3 times higher in
the non-Colostrum subjects. The Colostrum group had 13 episodes versus
14 in the Colostrum + vaccination group, 41 in the group without
prophylaxis, and 57 in nontreated subjects. Part 2 of the study had a
similar protocol with 65 very high-risk cardiovascular subjects, all of
whom had prophylaxis. The incidence of complications and hospital
admission was higher in the group that received only a vaccination
compared with the Colostrum groups. Colostrum, both in healthy subjects
and high-risk cardiovascular patients, is at least 3 times more
effective than vaccination to prevent flu and is very cost-effective.*
