All our products are clinically proven and guaranteed effective. Colostrum quality and effectiveness 100% guaranteed.

Effectiveness of colostrum depends on its  originating quality, and how it is processed.

Colostrum is mostly digested in the transit through the stomach and small intestine once we are past infancy. Colostrum has to be protected or it just becomes a high priced source of protein. Sovereign Labs has developed a proprietary means of encapsulating colostrum powder into a Liposome. The liposome is a sphere made up of Phosphatidylcholine (choline) and phosphatidylserine (serine) that prevents damage and digestion and delivers colostrum's precious components into the small intestine and into the rest of the body where they are needed to prevent infection, repair organ damage, regenerate muscle, nerves, skin and vital organs for renewed health and healing. This is called Liposomal Delivery (LD) available only with Colostrum-LD . Plus, it has decades of world respected clinical research behind it. According to one of the world's leading authories on Liposomal Delivery Robert D. Milne, MD reported that it makes healing components up to 1,500 times more bioavailable. That's why we guarantee Colostrum-LD to be more than four times more effective than any other colostrum on the market, or your money back.

Plus:  There is an added advantage to Liposomal Delivery. The coating consists of the actual lipids (very special small fat molecules) that make up the protective membrane of all of the cells within our body. They protect and help maintain all of our body cellular integrity, keep out pathogens and allow only proper nutritional and healing substances to enter. They are very critical to brain and nervous sytem health and have been shown in thier own right is rigorous clinical studies to help prevent and repair damaged brain tissue in Alzheimers and Parkinson's. They can also help restore memory and the balance of brain chemicals. This along with colostrum's marvelous PRP component that also carries these proven benefits makes Colostrum-LD a rich resource for all who are aging.

Tests on several different brands of colostrum have shown that colostrum processed with excessive heat will lose most of its biological activity. This is especially true of colostrum tablets. The heat generated when tablets are formed is so high that it severely compromises colostrum's efficacy.

Colostrum that comes from pasture fed herds, who eat healthy green grass produce better milk and colostrum than cows that are fed processed foods.

It is also very important that colostrum is standardized by taking it from large numbers of healthy cows. This insures the maximum possible amount of immune factors. Colostrum that is not standardized should be avoided.

Some colostrum is manipulated to boost immunoglobulin levels. Recent research, however, has shown that higher percentages of immunoglobulin actually diminish colostrum's effectiveness in combating infection. Therefore, our conclusion is that the most effective colostrum is that which is gently processed, but otherwise left with the balance of its immune and growth factors as nature intended.

Caveat Emptor - Let the Buyer Beware: Not all colostrum is processed in accordance with these strict guidelines.

Currently no standards exist for the collection and processing of colostrum. Some colostrum contains inexpensive "filler" products such as whey by-products, which severely reduce its effectiveness. Also, if the colostrum is not collected during the first 24 hours after the birth of the calf, it will be missing many of the important growth factors. To help you assess different brands of colostrum, below is a summary of the standard you should look for in high quality colostrum.

1. It should be protected with Liposomal coating to protect and deliver components throughout the body as needed.
2. It should come only from certified healthy, grade A diary cows (after the needs of the calf are met).
3. It should be collected only from the first milking after the second birth, to ensure maximum biological activity.
4. It should come only from cows which are pasture-fed, and certified to be hormone, pesticide and antibiotic free.
5. It should be filtered and homogenized to break down the long-chain proteins (immunoglobulins) for better assimilation.
6. It should be mixed with the colostrum from hundreds of other cows to standardize and maximize the immune factors.
7. It should be processed to remove excess, unwanted fat, and dried with added heat. This process is significantly more costly and time-consuming than regular high-temperature processing.
8. It should be laboratory tested for E.Coli, salmonella, pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics, other pathogens, a verification of high platelet count (a sign of active "friendly" intestinal bacteria) and immunoglobulin content.

There are only a few producers of bovine colostrum which meet the above standards. Read labels carefully and investigate the company. Another way to find a high-quality colostrum is to contact the Center for Nutritional Research (CNR), www.icnr.org, an independent, non-profit research organization. The CNR can provide, free of charge, a list of manufacturers whose colostrum meets our guidelines.
