Xenico’s Colostrum bovinum is a preparation containing the highest quality bovine colostrum, providing highly bioavailable nutrients and a range of immune-active compounds to strengthen the immune system. The use of a modern freeze-drying method preserves the full richness of the mineral components and their high bioavailability. Colostrum is a unique type of milk, secreted by the mother’s body for only a few days after birth. Its special, unique composition determines the child’s effective immune response.
Colostrum bovinum, i.e. bovine colostrum
Colostrum bovinum, or bovine colostrum, is considered to be the most potent immune-stimulating compound from nature and has been successfully used in fortification preparations for years due to its amazing immune-building power. Colostrum is saturated with wholesome nutrients and immune system building blocks such as leukocytes, macrophages, B and T lymphocytes and antibodies. In addition to ready-to-use, active immunoglobulins and vitamins, it also contains a whole range of substances that stimulate the immune response. The protein lactoferrin, with its proven immunomodulatory properties, boosts the body’s immunity by stimulating the maturation of immune cells and, thanks to its bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties, helps to fight infections already taking place in the body. An important function of this is to increase the sensitivity of the battery to antibiotics, which, in times of rampant antibiotic resistance, is crucial for successful therapy. In addition, it prevents the formation of a harmful bacterial biofilm by binding the free iron necessary for their growth, and reduces bacterial adhesion to host cells.
Lactoferrin inhibits the growth of harmful E.coli bacteria
Lactoferrin has a positive effect on the state of the intestinal microflora. It inhibits the growth of the harmful E.coli bacteria responsible for food infections and diarrhoea, without disturbing the natural colonies of beneficial lactic acid bacilli of the Bifidobacterium genus. Lysozyme and lactoperoxidase enhance the antibacterial effect of lactoferrin, and alpha-lactalbumin shows a significant antiviral effect. Antiviral activity is also attributed to casein, which not only stimulates the production of antibodies and cytokines, but also increases the body’s systemic response to infection.
Colostrum bovinum a source of natural ingredients
Colostrum bovinum from Xenico is a great nod to nature. The product is a source of natural ingredients that stimulate the body’s immunity during infections, as well as being used as a preventive element to protect against disease.
