Colostrum is
the pre-milk provided by
mammal mothers to their
newborn. It is a rich
cocktail of immune and
growth factors, which
literally gives life to
most mammal babies. The
world is just discovering
the
General
Health
and
therapeutic potential for
bovine colostrum to
mankind.
Unlike most
foods and nutritional
supplements, there are an
estimated 5,000 studies into
colostrum. The sales of
colostrum for basic good health
are rising dramatically as are
the medical food or
nutriceutical products
developments. A key objective
of the ICR is to eliminate the
confusion created by the
conflictory and exaggerated
claims made by a few
unprofessional marketers of
colostrum around the
world.
ICR is the
centre for global colostrum
knowledge and research. It is a
central information source for
consumers, health professionals
and researchers.
Consumers are
advised to first investigate
the
Immune
Function before
looking at the benefits
of taking the colostrums.
This section includes
relevant research and a
questions page.
The
Research section
contains research on
certain
Illnessesand
Activity
benefits.
The Institute
of Colostrum Research (ICR) has
established a criteria by which
colostrum products can be
evaluated. ICR has undertaken
this task as to educate the
consumer to judge colostrum
products from different
distributors. In this way the
consumer can make a more
educated choice as to which
colostrum product is
best.
The
Institute of
Colostrum Research also
offers invaluable links
to information relating
to Animals through
to Books and
the latest News
and
media
articles
.
Health
professionals and researchers
may wish to investigate
colostrum benefits before
moving to the research section.

Logic infers
that colostrum or
its
Derivatives may
provide the answer to
buttressing humans
against the daily attacks
against our immune
systems. We are excited
about its
potential.
