What is Colostrum?

Bovine Colostrum CowColostrum is a substance produced by female mammals during late pregnancy and in the first few days after giving birth. It is the first food, and the means of transferring important immune and growth factors from mother to newborn. Colostrum contains antibodies that stimulate a newborn infant's immunity against disease. It also contains an abundance of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids.

Colostrum is lower in fat and higher in protein than ordinary milk.

Bovine Colostrum

Research has shown that the molecular structure of bovine colostrum is identical to human colostrum, and that the immune and growth factors found in bovine colostrum are beneficial to humans of all ages. Some bovine colostrum benefits include enhanced immune function, increased energy levels, fat loss, muscle gain, anti-aging, acceleration of healing and an increase in general vitality and well-being.

About MIP Colostrum

MIP Colostrum is collected from the first five milkings from selected dairy herds of healthy, pasture-fed dairy cows. Colostrum production and collection from the dairy farm is required to meet very strict quality control parameters and is covered by a Product Safety Programme (PSP). All applicable herds are certified by AgriQuality New Zealand as being free from:

  • List A diseases such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) which is also known as 'Mad Cow' Disease, contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia, Foot and Mouth Disease and Rinderpest.
  • Milk production hormone - BST (Bovine Somatropin), and which is prohibited from use in New Zealand.
  • Pesticides
  • Other undesirable residues

MIP Colostrum is chilled, rather than frozen, in order to maintain integrity and biological activity of the Immunoglobulins, growth factors and other biological active components.

MIP Colostrum is pasteurised to the most demanding of International Standards - 72ºC for 15 seconds, so that the highest microbiological quality is assured.

MIP Colostrum is further processed at low temperatures using proprietary technologies and manufactured using processes and equipment that are accredited to the internationally recognised Quality Assurance Standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Underpinning the Quality Management System is a HACCP based registered Product Safety Programme (PSP). The PSP incorporates all aspects of risk associated with the manufacture, packaging and storage of Colostrum.

This includes the control of people, engineering and maintenance, the environment, manufacturing and product testing, Quality Control and pathogen management.

These high standards of production mean we can bring you the highest quality New Zealand colostrum supplements.
