Why New Zealand Colostrum?
The absolutely best source of Colostrum is from the early milk of Pasture fed, Non-Hyperimmunised, healthy New Zealand cows. The temperature climate combined with good farming practices make New Zealand the best supplier of Colostrum. Only pasture fed animals are used ensuring that New Zealand Colostrum contains high levels of specific antibodies to a wide array of microbes. Further, New Zealand milk products are renowned worldwide for their quality and consistency both manufactured and supply. International quality auditors to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards certify the testing laboraties and all manufacturing facilities.
New Zealand Colostrum is recognized as the world’s premium colostrum. Why? Because it is collected only from pasture-fed cows, that are pesticide, antibiotic and hormone free. New Zealand has a strong competitive advantage in colostrum production due in part to NZ’s dairy cows all calving during a single three-month period each year. This means NZ Colostrum is collected in bulk and transported in a fresh chilled state from farms to the processing plant, in the same way as milk. This is a critical production advantage, because gentle handling, and low temperature collection and process technology preserve Colostrum’s active ingredients. In other countries, colostrum is collected in batches until there is enough to process. This means it must be stored for long periods before processing, so it is frozen. Rapid freezing and rapid thawing techniques prior to processing may cause damage to the protein molecules and may compromise the integrity and biological activity of the immunoglobulins,
