How does colostrum work to boost my immunity?
Colostrum is the only natural product to contain active immune factors such as antibodies. Antibodies are a key part of the immune system, which is a system of biological structures and processes that works to protect against disease and eliminate pathogens. Antibodies are crucial to the body’s natural defensive system secreted from the immune cells called B-cells. Other immune cells of the immune system include T-cells, natural killer cells, plasma cells, stem cells and a range of chemical messengers that help recognise and destroy disease causing agents. When we get sick, usually an infection by bacteria or virus, specialised immune cells recognise them from the body and target them for elimination. The invaders are recognised by features on their cell surface called antigens – which are markers on the cell surface indicating they’re “invaders”. Chemical messengers and other immune cells sends a message to B-cells and Plasma cells about the invasion and these cells start producing an
