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 process to 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.

Since colostrum taken as a powder has more contact with the sinuses, if you are struggling with allergies or sinus problems, we recommend the oral use of our 30% IgG colostrum powder. Colostrum can be taken orally in several ways, such as dissolving on the tongue, mixing it with yogurt, or as a smoothie (colostrum mixed with fruit in the blender).
