The Issue of Processing
Jarrow FORMULAS Colostrum is collected from healthy cows grazed on pasturage (except in winter). Herds grazed on pasturage are exposed to a variety of organisms and thereby develop a more comprehensive immune response.
lmmunoglobulins themselves are quite fragile and therefore need proper handling and processing. Two factors involving this collection and processing of colostrum determine the value of colostrum supplements. First, true colostrum can only be collected within 12 hours of calving for maximum activity. Second, only freeze-drying ensures that the different colostrum immunoglobulin fractions and growth factors retain their biological activity and are not denatured. Many manufacturers utilize spray drying, but spray drying substantially denatures colostrum. Jarrow FORMULAS colostrum products are freeze-dried, being frozen and dehydrated in a vacuum without heat.
Colostrum Prime Life and Colostrum Specific
adhere to these standards, producing two very beneficial dietary supplements. Moreover, both products are tested for immunoglobulin levels, nerve growth factor and transfer factor after collection to ensure that every bottle is genuine colostrum.

Colostrum specific
Colostrum Specific is freeze-dried bovine colostrum in enteric-coated capsules for specific delivery to the intestines. The enteric coating prevents degradation as the colostrum passes through the stomach
