There are many factors that contribute to great quality colostrum – but there’s no point in having a great quality product if it is going to be damaged during the digestive process. We’ve worked hard to source quality colostrum and created leading manufacturing techniques that minimally process it so our colostrum products retain more than 90% of the active immunoglobulins….but we’ve gone one, vital step further than that. To protect the important bioactive components of our colostrum products through the harsh digestive process we’ve created a special patented liposomal delivery system. You know this as the “Alpha Lipid^TM” difference.

So just what is Alpha Lipid^TM and how does it work?

First of all, let’s explain what liposomal is. It’s the encapsulation of a substance (colostrum in this case) in a double layered fat molecule, technically referred to as a phospholipid bi-layer; essentially it creates a coating around the colostrum. This coating is made from a type of fat called phospholipid which is derived from milk and replicates the globules in milk produced by mammary glands. This has two key benefits; firstly it protects the delicate bioactive substances from the harsh environment of your digestive tract. Secondly because the phospholipid bi-layer is both water and fat soluble it also supports optimal absorption and dispersion of the colostrum and any other nutrients it is coating. The Alpha Lipid^TM difference delivers nutrients into your body just as nature intended.

Colostrum provides a range of nutrients including a number of vital immune factors, the main ones being immunoglobulins, or antibodies as they’re sometimes called. All mammals produce immunoglobulins which is why as humans we can safely enjoy the benefits of immunoglobulins found in bovine (cow) colostrum.

The major immunoglobulins (Ig) found in colostrum or milk are IgG, IgA and IgM; of these IgG is the most abundant one in bovine colostrum. IgG protects your body from infection by binding to pathogens (virus, bacteria etc) and alerting other immune cells to come and destroy the pathogen.

Together these immunoglobulins form an essential part of a healthy, responsive immune system.

New Image^TM specially process colostrum using flash pasteurisation which kills unwanted bacteria at high pressure but low temperatures to preserve these all important immunoglobulins and other bioactive components.
