Product Description
Ingredient Composition
Immunoglobulins: The most crucial component in bovine colostrum powder is immunoglobulins, mainly including IgG, IgA, and IgM. Among them, the content of IgG is relatively high. It can recognize and bind to foreign pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, exert antibody activity, enhance the human body's immunity, and help the human body resist infections.
Growth Factors: It contains a variety of growth factors. These growth factors play important roles in the growth and development of the human body. For example, EGF has a positive impact on the proliferation, differentiation, and repair of skin cells, which helps maintain the health and youthful state of the skin.
Proteins and Amino Acids: Bovine colostrum powder is rich in high-quality proteins, and these proteins contain many essential amino acids for the human body, such as leucine, isoleucine, lysine, etc. These amino acids are the basic units that make up human cells and tissues and play an indispensable role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of the body and repairing damaged tissues.
Other Nutritional Components: It also contains abundant vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E. Vitamin A is beneficial to vision and the immune system; vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium and bone health; vitamin E is an antioxidant that can protect cells from damage by free radicals. Meanwhile, bovine colostrum powder also contains minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc. Calcium is the main component of bones and teeth, iron participates in oxygen transport, and zinc is important for many physiological processes such as immune function and wound healing.
Production Process
Collection of Colostrum: Bovine colostrum refers to the milk secreted by cows in the first few days after calving. Generally, it is collected within 1 to 3 days after the cow gives birth. At this time, the colostrum has the richest nutritional components. The collection process requires strict hygienic conditions to prevent the mixing of contaminants such as bacteria.
Filtration and Purification: The collected bovine colostrum needs to be filtered to remove impurities such as hair and blood clots. Then, purification treatment is carried out. Usually, techniques such as centrifugal separation are adopted to further remove components such as fat and somatic cells to make the colostrum purer.
Low-temperature Spray Drying: This is a crucial step. In order to preserve the nutritional components in bovine colostrum to the greatest extent, especially active components such as immunoglobulins, the low-temperature spray drying technique is generally adopted. The purified bovine colostrum is sprayed into a mist at a low temperature, allowing the water to evaporate rapidly and forming powdered bovine colostrum powder. This method can effectively prevent the destruction of nutritional components due to high temperature.
Nutritional Efficacy
Enhancement of Immunity: Immunoglobulins can improve the immune function of the human body and help the human body recognize and remove foreign pathogens. For children, consuming bovine colostrum powder can enhance their body's resistance and reduce the frequency of diseases such as colds. For the elderly and people with low immunity, it also helps to improve the body's immune defense ability.
Promotion of Growth and Development: Growth factors and rich proteins, amino acids and other nutritional components can promote the growth and development of children, including bone growth and muscle development. Meanwhile, for some people with growth retardation caused by diseases or malnutrition, bovine colostrum powder can also be used as a supplementary nutritional product to help improve the growth status.
Improvement of Gastrointestinal Function: Some components in bovine colostrum powder, such as immunoglobulins and growth factors, help to regulate the balance of the gastrointestinal flora and enhance the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa. It can improve the digestive and absorptive capacity of the intestine and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea and constipation.
Product Form and Taste
Product Form: Bovine colostrum powder is usually in the form of a light yellow powder with a fine texture. It is usually packaged in a sealed manner. Common packaging forms include cans and bags. Some products are made into individual small packages for the convenience of consumption, which is convenient for carrying and controlling the amount of each consumption.
Taste: The taste is relatively light and has a slight milky fragrance. If consumed directly, there may be a slightly powdery texture. After mixing with water, the taste becomes smoother, similar to milk but a little thicker than milk. Appropriate amounts of sweeteners such as sugar and honey can be added according to personal taste to improve the taste.
Eating Methods
Direct Consumption: You can directly take an appropriate amount of bovine colostrum powder and swallow it slowly. However, this way may feel rather dry and the taste is not very good.
Mixing with Water for Drinking: Put an appropriate amount of bovine colostrum powder into a cup, add warm water (the water temperature is generally recommended to be around 40 - 50 °C to avoid destroying the nutritional components due to high temperature), and stir evenly before drinking. It can also be mixed with milk, fruit juice, etc. to make the taste more abundant.
Adding to Food: Bovine colostrum powder can also be added to other foods. For example, an appropriate amount of bovine colostrum powder can be added during the production of yogurt, ice cream, baked goods (such as bread, cake), etc. This can not only increase the nutritional value of the food but also give the food a unique flavor.
Suitable and Unsuitable Populations
Suitable Populations: It is suitable for people with low immunity, such as children, the elderly, and post-operative recovery patients; children with growth retardation; people with weak gastrointestinal functions. Meanwhile, for some people who are often exposed to the external environment and are prone to infectious diseases, such as athletes and travelers, bovine colostrum powder can also be used as a nutritional supplement to enhance the body's resistance.
Unsuitable Populations: People who are allergic to milk proteins cannot consume bovine colostrum powder because bovine colostrum powder contains a large amount of milk protein components. Consumption may cause allergic reactions such as rashes, vomiting, and diarrhea. In addition, although bovine colostrum powder is rich in nutrition, it cannot replace breast milk or infant formula as the staple food for infants. Infants under 1 year old should still mainly rely on breast milk or infant formula.
