Being the first milk produced in the first few days after giving birth, colostrum is rich in a variety of biologically active components such as immune factors and growth factors. With regards to immune factors, Proline-Rich-Peptide (PRP) helps in restoring the balance of immune system. Meanwhile, immunoglobulin type G (IgG) serves as antibody to fight against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. On the other hand, the growth factors promote glucose and fat metabolism for fuel and help to restore bone and lean muscle mass. The growth factors also stimulate tissue growth and repair, thus promoting wound healing and anti-aging for the skin.  Colostrum from a bovine (cow) is not species specific, and it is up to 100 to 1000 times more potent than our mother’s Colostrum. This means that every mammal on Earth can benefit from bovine Colostrum.
