Allergies and Colostrum

Allergies and Colostrum: Supporting a Balanced Immune Response

Colostrum, often described as nature's first food supplement, carries a blend of cytokines, lymphokines, and proline-rich polypeptides (PRP) that cooperate to moderate how strongly and how long the immune system reacts. These same components help a newborn find internal balance, and supporters believe they can help restore that balance at any age. Colostrum also supplies notable anti-inflammatory elements.

Medical references describe allergies as hypersensitivity reactions of the immune system, triggered by ordinarily harmless substances called allergens and producing an intense inflammatory response. Familiar examples include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, and reactions to insect stings from wasps or bees. Allergies can also play a significant part in conditions such as asthma.

What the Science Suggests

Researchers and nutrition writers have highlighted colostrum's PRP as a regulator of immune activity. The quotations below reflect their published views.

Dr. Zoltan Rona, The American Journal of Natural Medicine (March 1998)
PRP from colostrum may act as a regulatory substance for the thymus gland and has been shown to improve or clear symptoms of both allergies and autoimmune diseases such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and myasthenia gravis. PRP inhibits the overproduction of lymphocytes and T-cells and eases major allergy and autoimmune symptoms.
Beth Ley, PhD Nutrition
The capacity to stimulate or suppress the immune response matters greatly. Suppression helps stop the immune system from attacking the body itself, as happens in autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS, Alzheimer's disease, and allergies. Colostrum's suppressive action may help prevent this kind of activity.

Colostrum contains a special proline-rich polypeptide (PRP) that acts as a powerful immune regulator. PRP increases the permeability of skin vessels, offering regulatory activity that either stimulates or suppresses the immune response.
