Mt. Capra is a SMALL FAMILY FARM in the Pacific Northwest that has been in continuous operation for NEARLY A CENTURY. Our Washington State based farm has been producing CapraColostrum - GOAT COLOSTRUM for over 2 decades and have been on the cutting edge of colostrum innovation. What is Colostrum? Colostrum is the thick fluid which is produced as a precursor to mother's milk. It is found in humans, goats, and other mammals where it is produced by the mother for two days following birth. Colostrum can be described as a brilliantly designed IMMUNE SYSTEM DELIVERY PROTOCOL which effectively "jump starts" a newborn's undeveloped immune system. CapraColostrum is unique because it's from goat milk. This means it is from a source that is closer to human milk than the mass produced bovine (cow) colostrum. Colostrum supplies the body with immune and growth factors and is easily tolerated by most. Colostrum has dozens of health related components, the primary being immune and growth related. Colostrum is made up of various macro and micro constituents such as cytokines, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, growth factors and hormones, etc. These components have various biological roles. Volumes of studies have been done on both probiotics and colostrum but emerging research from the Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology has found a natural synergy or coalition between these two substances. These recent studies show that overall viability of certain probiotic strains as well as IgG immunoglobulins were strengthened to a greater degree when utilized as a pair than when utilized independently. Bottom line: Probiotics and colostrum should be taken together to have a health effect, greater than the sum of the parts.
