Quality Production Standards

How colostrum is processed and packaged is crucial for its bioactivity. Colostrum which is not collected properly or frozen or heated or not defatted or incorrectly dried loses its effectiveness. Only Symbiotics^® New Life Colostrum is collected and processed to maximize its bioactivity.

• Fresh processed colostrum retains more bioactivity than frozen colostrum, which denatures proteins, destroys the protective membranes surrounding the colostrum globules, and causes heavy microbial growth after thawing¹
• Spray dried or freeze dried colostrum are the preferred methods for drying colostrum¹
• Symbiotics colostrum uses an indirect spray drying technique which avoids contamination from the exhaust gases as is found in direct fired dryers¹
• Fresh processed colostrum powder dried with indirect spray drying has better dispersability and solubility properties¹
• Symbiotics^® New Life Colostrum is flash pasteurized to maintain maximum milk protein survival while destroying potentially dangerous pathogens. Pasteurization has been shown to preserve milk proteins while killing bacteria and other pathogens² Commercially pasteurized milk retains high IgG activity³
• Colostrum which is not defatted rapidly goes rancid and becomes unpalatable and indigestible. Defatting does not significantly reduce the amount of bioactive protein available in the colostrum powder¹
