PuraLife Colostrum
100% Pure Bovine Colostrum Powder
PuraLife is proudly presenting the 100% pure bovine colostrum”PuraLife Colostrum®” which is collected, prepared and packaged in USA. PuraLife is leading in the market of premium American Colostrum with its multiple health benefits.
Colostrum is the pre-milk substance produced from all mammals at birth. True bovine Colostrum is the pre-milk in the udder when the calf is born. Each drop of Colostrum provides the promise of life for the newborn. It provides immune and growth factors along with a perfect combination of vitamins and minerals to ensure better health, vitality, and growth of the newborn, children, teen, adults and seniors.
Colostrum is a channel for transferring the immune factors from the mother to the new born. Bovine Colostrum balances the immune system and is a natural source of many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids. Supplementation of Colostrum enhances the efficiency of amino acids and carbohydrates fuel uptake by the intestine, making more nutrients available for muscle cells and other vital tissues and organs. It is rich in protective and regulating factors necessary to promote health and vitality. It is nature’s most concentrated source of biologically active components. It has existed since the first mammals roamed the planet and used by humans of various cultures for thousands of years.
Why is PuraLife Colostrum so distinctive?
It is all 100% pure USA bovine colostrum
Sourced from pasture fed cows free of BSE, antibiotics
Wide range of immune benefits
Rich in growth & repair factors
High solubility
Freshly collected year round
Immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most abundant type of antibodies protects against both bacterial and viral infections. IgG is also the only type of antibodies that can cross the placenta in a pregnant woman and provide protection for her baby (fetus).
PuraLife Colostrum provides the natural antibodies and immune factors that promote healthy immune system function, which play a key role in our everyday’s health:
Boosts strength, stamina and lean muscle mass production
Promotes healthy intestinal flora and supports the digestive systems
Enhances cellular growth for healthy skin, bones, muscles, nerves and cartilage
NOTE: Please consult your health professional before consuming this product.
Cows are the ideal source of colostrum, as it is in many regards highly enriched with multiple nutrients, growth factors and immune factors more than human colostrum, breast milk and regular milk.
Superiority of PuraLife Colostrum
First Milking Colostrum
First milking Colostrum is the milk in the udder when the calf is born. It is the richest in the important bioactive components and is collected within 16 hours from birth. New born calf is firstly allowed to be fed on Colostrum and the rest is carefully collected for human consumption.
PuraLife accepts only the first milking Colostrum, which must free of antibiotics, harmful bacteria, and other contaminants.
Low-Heat & Low-Pressure Processing
Colostrum must be carefully processed using low-heat and low-pressure processes or the delicate and important colostral proteins can be denatured and the efficacy of the Colostrum destroyed.
Low-Heat Pasteurization
Because of the heat sensitivity of PRPs and IgG proteins in Colostrum, PuraLife Colostrum is prepared by low-heat flash pasteurization and low-heat indirect drying to preserve the efficacy and bioactivity of the Colostrum. This assures that all potentially harmful pathogens are removed, while immunoglobulins and other biologically important proteins retain their bioactivity.
Low-Pressure Processing
Similar to high-heat processing, high-pressure processing of Colostrum will denature proteins and reduce the bioactivity of Colostrum, that’s why PuraLife Colostrum powders are consistently processed at lower pressures.
Indirect Steam Drying
Our Colostrum is spray dried using indirect steam with low pressure and temperatures to produce a high quality powder while protecting the colostral proteins.
High Level of Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs)
Proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) are the most important immune factor in Colostrum because they offer more general immune balancing than immunoglobulins.
Strict Quality Assurance
Throughout the whole process, very strict quality assurance measures and tests are performed.
Free Flowing Powder
PuraLife Colostrum is being prepared with free flowing powder technology to assure high solubility and avoid it being clumpy.
Year-Round Processing
In most of the world, including the northern United States, New Zealand, and Northern Europe, calving occurs primarily in the spring due to the weather cycle. As a result, Colostrum in these regions is collected only during spring and stored for almost a year time.
PuraLife Colostrum is collected from the Southwest of the United States which has the largest concentration of dairy cows in the world. Calving occurs year-round in this area because of the temperate climate, allowing to collect only fresh Colostrum year round.

How it works
How does colostrum work to boost my immunity?
Colostrum is the only natural food that contains active immune factors such as antibodies. Antibodies are a key part of the immune system, which is a system of biological structures and processes that work to protect against disease and eliminate pathogens. Antibodies are crucial to the body's natural defensive system secreted from the immune cells called B-cells. Other immune cells of the immune system include T-cells, natural killer cells, plasma cells, stem cells and a range of chemical messengers that help recognize and destroy disease causing agents.
There are many factors in our daily life that can negatively affect the immune system such as stress, poor diet, illness, antibiotics, age, exercise, and even genetics can alter balance of our immune system and result in lowering immunity.
What are the immune factors in colostrum?
The primary immune factors in colostrum are antibodies known as immunoglobulins, these come in various forms (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE and IgD) each with a specific role. Immunoglobulings are the major components of the adaptive (specific) immune system. Colostrum also contains other important immune components which are part of the innate (non-specific) immune system. These components include:
Lactoferrin: Antimicrobial protein which provides antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activity to infants.
Lysozyme: Damages bacterial walls through hydrolysis.
Lactoperoxidase: Natural antibacterial agent.
Complement protein system: Variety of proteins that helps antibodies to clear pathogens.
Proline rich peptides (PRP): Chain of amino acids that stimulate and modulate the immune response. PRP's acts as a signal molecule to immune cells of the body.
Cytokines: A range of messenger peptides that control the functioning of the immune system.
It should be noted that apart from immune factors colostrum is also rich in growth factors including epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin like growth factor (IGF-1, IGF-2), transforming growth factor (TGF β1, TGF β2), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and others. These growth factors aids natural growth and development and also aid recovery post illness or injuries.
What are the four main health benefits of colostrum?
Immune system modulation: In addition to boosting the body's natural defenses, sometimes the immune system can be over stimulated.causing “hyper” immune response, and could cause arthritis, asthma, gastroenteritis, and inflammations. Colostrum, can modulate the immune function back to normal levels.Therefore, bovine colostrum has immune modulation effects rather than unilaterally increase immunity.
Colostrum helps to detoxify the body starting with the gastrointestinal tract. The immune factors in colostrum inhibit harmful pathogens which can colonize the gut and cause major health problems such as Helicobacter pylori, Candida albicans, and many others, while promoting the growth of beneficial bacterial colonies. Colostrum also acts to heal the damage to the intestinal lining caused by the pathogens and toxins. This prevents pathogens and toxins from entering the body and restores normal gut functions.
Colostrum contains rich dairy proteins, vitamins and minerals, and a range of growth factors (such as EGF, TFG, Insulin-like GF) to promote healthy bone density, and help with general growth and development.
Colostrum can help delay the effects of declining organ function as a result of the aging process. With aging the production of immunoglobulins dramatically decrease and Colostrum helps replenish some of this loss and the growth factors help to slow aging.
Why do we use bovine (cow) colostrum?
Just like the cow's milk we are accustomed to drink, bovine colostrum and its components are safe for human consumption, except in the context of intolerance or allergy to lactose or other components.
Bovine colostrum from pasture-fed cows contains immunoglobulins that are non species specific and can work against many human pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Cryptosporidium parvum, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and rotavirus (which causes diarrhea in infants).
Humans have been using colostrum as a dietary supplement for a variety of reasons for over thousands of years. Colostrum can be safely consumed by children, adults and seniors.
Infants and young children: PuraLife Colostrum is pure colostrum that includes Probiotic to promote healthy digestion and nutrient absorption in young children.
Children and teenagers: Colostrum contains rich dairy proteins, growth factors, vitamins and minerals to promote healthy bone density, and helps with general growth and development. At the same time, it enhances immunity to reduce the risk of pathogen and viral attacks.
Senior Population: As we age our organ functions begin to decline. increasing the risk of illness in the senior population. We can replenish IgG by taking colostrum.
Postoperative patients: As the consumption of colostrum can boost immunity, which helps to reduce the risk of post surgery infections. In addition, various growth factors present in colostrum and the abundant protein content can support rapid wound healing preventing weight reduction, and fatigue as a result of healing.
