As you probably already know, colostrum, the first milk produced by humans and other mammals in the earliest days after giving birth, is also called "liquid gold". It is packed full of nutrients as well as of biologically active molecules. These nutrients and compounds include immunoglobulins (or antibodies), white blood cells, vitamin A, magnesium, copper, zinc, growth factors and a variety of other components essential for jump-starting life, including the strength and structure of the immune system and the gut. These growth factors strengthen permeable, leaky intestines, sealing the gut and preventing bad bacteria or pathogens from flowing into the bloodstream in an unregulated way.
One main reason some people turn to colostrum for health benefits is due to gut inflammation that makes their physiology resemble that of a vulnerable infant. That inflammation can be due to ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, chronic infections, chronic diarrhea or HIV, or the effects of chemotherapy or radiation. There is evidence that colostrum can support immunity and gut health, particularly in people with compromised immune systems or intestinal permeability issues. Some studies have found colostrum may boost growth of intestinal cells and strengthen the walls of the gut. Other research has suggested benefits for respiratory tract infections with a reduction in risk of respiratory issues, improvement in skin health and exercise recovery.
Why you might not know yet is that colostrum properties can be naturally boosted and amplified.
A natural way to do that is to get live MICROBES doing the job and this is exactly what we do in our Swiss facility.
When a specific array of microbes meets colostrum, a unique transformation process (named “fermentation”) starts leading to the formation of hundreds of new active molecules including those named “postbiotics.”
Only the right combination of the best colostrum and the appropriate array of live microbes can lead to the formation of a BRAVO, a new, unique, and powerful product naturally combining prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics with the strength of Swiss fermented colostrum.
Quality is our main priority and we carefully check all the steps of our processing to give you the best; for example, colostrum quality is determined by factors such as the health of the cow, its environment and diet, if it has been vaccinated, the season, its breed, the length of time between pregnancies and the time of colostrum collection.
Our Swiss colostrum is collected:
- From Swiss Demeter-certified farms following the strictest health controls
- In the first 24 hours from birth with the maximum attention to leave enough colostrum to
feed the newborn - From grass-fed and pasture-raised Swiss cows
- From cows mostly making A2 milk, resembling human breast milk and historically being
the primary form of cow’s milk - All-year-round thus to guarantee its freshness
Furthermore, our Swiss colostrum is:
- Tested by a third party for quality and purity
- Processed in a Swiss and FDA registered facility
BRAVO, our fermented colostrum based on a unique array of live microbes, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics is available as pills and as kit for homemade preparation.
Yours truly,
