Colostrum is the new super-food for gut health

A healthy gut is critical to good health.

Scientists have found that it contributes to a strong immune system, heart, brain, mood, sleep and digestion, and it may help even prevent some cancers and autoimmune diseases.

Poor nutrition, stress and the like can all play a role in poor gut health, adversely affecting not only your daily life, but also your body’s ability to ward off diseases and infectious bacteria and viruses.

This is widely accepted among health professionals.

But New Image International consultant and Ballito local, Prema Naidoo says that what most of us do not know is that our gut is more often than not functioning below par.

But there is a solution, and it’s called colostrum.

Colostrum is nature’s first food, the pre-milk fluid all female mammals provide for their infants in the first few days after birth.

Colostrum provides vital immune and essential vitamins and minerals which contribute to an infant’s healthy development and, in particular, to the development of a responsive immune system.

Because colostrum is non-species specific, scientists have found bovine colostrum may support good health in humans long after birth -from infancy to old age.

Naidoo recommends Alpha Lipid Lifeline, a colostrum-based product – backed up by the New Zealand company’s 53 employed scientists – to help restore your gut health, with one billion probiotics per dose.

“Combined with proper nutrition and a healthy, balanced lifestyle people can boost their immune systems and be better protected not only against viruses, but the effect of stress on the body.”

Alpha Lipid Lifeline contains one billion probiotics per dose, essential vitamins and minerals, with a further 1 000mg of calcium for healthy teeth and bones.

It also assists with the body’s natural repair process and is safe for children to use.

“People will also be happy to know that colostrum is virtually lactose free.”
