Mary's Herbal Garden™ Nature's Promise™ bovine colostrum is a defatted, standardized
(guaranteed minimum 30% IgG) concentration of "first milking" colostrum, taken after the
newborn calf's first meal. This quick harvest ensures high levels of immune factors and
regenerative nucleosides (for cell growth and repair). Many of these immune factors are
in the form of Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM), Lactoferrin, and IgF-1; which
have been scientifically and medically proven to be anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory
in nature. These are energizing elements in colostrum that give a healthy boost to the immune system.
Tests on Mary's Herbal Garden™ products have revealed a higher
Immunoglobulin (Ig) content with elevated levels of Lactoferrin and IgF-1 than
any other
colostrum product.
Please note, there has been a great deal of advertising literature, and
verbal feedback from various companies, stating that the fat content in
colostrum contains growth and immune factors and is necessary for the absorption
of immune factors. This information is entirely false. Research collected
from dairies, universities, lab technicians, and veterinarians points to the
fact that all of the immunoglobulin, IgF-1, lactoferrin, cytokines,
polypeptides, transfer factors, etc. are contained in the protein portion of the
colostrum. In actuality, our customers have found partially defatted colostrum
and filtered colostrum to be very beneficial, yielding excellent results due to
the raised Ig content far and above colostrum containing the natural fat.
Furthermore, the removal of the fat content protects colostrum from going rancid
and increases its shelf life.
The colostrum that we offer is subject to regular USDA and state
inspections. Every batch of our colostrum is sent to a quality control
laboratory to be tested for the presence of any bacteria and/or antibiotics. In
addition, the pH, gravity, and total solids content are measured to assure
superior colostrum. Stringent lab tests have proven Nature's Promise™ colostrum to be free of any herbicide, pesticide, hormone, antibiotic, and steroid residue; in addition to being free of any bacteria
and/or contaminants. Furthermore, our colostrum products are triple
tested so that we can guarantee their IgG content, and thereby offer one of the
truly standardized colostrum products on the market, having a guaranteed minimum
30% & 50% IgG content.
Nature's Promise™ colostrum products come from the Western United States. We feel that
when using colostrum, if possible, it should be collected from the country in
which one lives. For example, if the cattle are in the United States we feel
that they will carry resistant factors to the viruses and bacterium that exist
in the United States.
To ensure that our colostrum contains a wide range of immune-factors, it is
collected from numerous dairy farms. We employ smaller dairies, where the cattle
are pasture fed and supplemented, when necessary, to maintain their health.
The cattle that supply our colostrum are not in enclosed shelters with concrete
slabs.
Nature's Promise™ colostrum products are dried using a proprietary low-heat
processto ensure the highest biological activity. The dryers employ
a Low NOx burner with indirect heat. Lab tests have shown our products to be
nitrate free.
The packaging plant we utilize is subject to state and FDA inspections,
assuring our customers of a clean product. They are one of the few plants
that are able to encapsulate and bottle colostrum without the use of flow agents (magnesium
stearate, silica, etc.), thus insuring our customers of having a pure and
undiluted product.
