"Research Shows Possible Synergy Between Probiotics and Colostrum."

By Joe Stout B.Sc. M.S. IP

Probiotics and colostrum have long been known to provide amyriad of health benefits. Probiotics (living helpful microorganisms) have been shown to enhance immune function, restore natural healthy intestinal microflora, relieve and repair gastrointestinal disorders, and even reduce lactose intolerance. Colostrum (the “first milk” of mammalian mothers) has also been shown to augment immune function as well as provide growth factors. Volumes of research have been done on both of these substances and emerging studies from the Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology has found a natural synergy or coalitionbetween these two substances. Immune enhancers such as lymphocyte (white blood cells) growth and macrophage phagocytosis (destruction of dangerous bacteria) were shown to increase by up to twice their normal capacity when probiotics and colostrum were paired together. Probiotic strains as well as immunoglobulins (immune enhancers)must be viable and active to achieve the highest health benefit when ingested. Recent studies show that overall viability of probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus as well as IgG immunoglobulins were strengthened to a greater degree when utilized as a pair than when utilized independently. These emerging scientific studies are giving credence to a new understanding of certain natural biochemical coalitions existing in nature.

It is the goal of Mt. Capra Products to offer wholefood nutritionals just as one would find them in the natural world. Mt. Capra is pleased to offer CapraColostrum™ which is harvested from healthy, antibiotic and growth hormone free goats.
