Why not Capsules?

Colostrum is activated in the mouth by saliva - via babes at breast, suckling calves, and you and I.

All mammals, including humans, at birth receive and benefit from colostrum. All newborn mammals receive colostrum orally, and not in an encapsulated form which bypasses the mouth, throat, and pharynx, where vital biological processes occur. Encapsulation is not part of the scheme designed by nature. Processes initiated by colostrum dissolving in the mouth are crucial to colostrum efficacy; these include salivation, buffering, enzymatic and neurological responses, direct protection against infection in the mouth and throat where infection often begins, and healing of the gums and esophagus.

Colostrum contains trypsin and protease inhibitors, and mixes with saliva to form a protective, mucus-like coating that keeps the colostrum from being degraded by digestive enzymes. Using either lozenges or powder enable these protective processes provided by nature.

Optimum Serving Size

Immunity is of primary importance

In her book COLOSTRUM: Nature’s Gift to the Immune System, Beth Ley (PhD nutrition) states: “Without optimal immune protection we are susceptible to conditions ranging from the common cold, the flu, various stages of immune deficiency, cancer and even AIDS.”

In clinical research, one 200 mg Synertek lozenge twice daily has been shown to raise serum immune indices by approximately 50%. See clinical research.

How do other brands compare?

It is impossible to make an overall comparison. There is a wide range of effectiveness per milligram of colostrum between various brands. Most companies know the potency of their product and formulate their recommended dosage accordingly.
