Ingredient Overview

Colostrum - a special fluid secreted by the mammary glands of all mammals near the time of birthing
that is rich in immune proteins, amino acids, lactoferrin, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and growth
factors which support the immune system. Colostrum is made up of nonspecific proteins such as
thymosin alpha 1 and B4, insulin, insulin growth factor, antistaphlococcal factor and others. These
proteins help support our natural immune defense. These nutrients and immune factors enhance the
immune system and stimulate cell growth and repair. Colostrum was designed by nature to promote
strength and good health. Colostrum for human use is harvested from dairy cattle, as the components
are identical to that of human colostrum, except that bovine colostrum is more concentrated.
Colostrum from the first lactation is highest in immune proteins and transfer factors; NWC uses whole
bovine colostrum from the first lactation of New
Zealand disease-free cows that have not been fed
chemicals, antibiotics, pesticides or steroids.

"Bovine colostrum is biologically transferable to all
mammals, including humans. It is much higher in
immune factors than human mother’s colostrum.
Laboratory analyses of immune and growth factors
from bovine colostrum are identical to those found in
human colostrum, except that the levels of these
factors are significantly higher in the bovine version."
(Dr. Zoltan Rona, American Journal of Natural
Medicine)

Whole food Vitamin C from Non-GMO Amla Fruit -
also known as Indian gooseberry, is one of the richest
natural sources of bioflavonoids and Vitamin C. Native
to India, the plum sized fruit is revered for its anti-aging
and immune enhancing properties. Each Amla fruit
contains up to 700 mg of Vitamin C. The natural
ascorbate is enhanced by the bioflavonoids and
polyphenols contained in each fruit. In fact,
researchers have shown that 8.7 mg of natural
Vitamin C complex from Amla is equivalent to 100 mg
of the most commonly used synthetic Vitamin C.
(Arore, R.B. Development of Unani Compounds from
Herbal Sources, p234, 1985). Vitamin C is an
essential water-soluble nutrient that plays several key
roles in maintaining health and immunity because it
fights free radicals, protects DNA and combats the
effects of stress.

Pro-Biotics - (including Lactobacillus plantarum,
Lactobacillus acidophilus dds-1 and Bifidobacterium
Bifidum, Bifidobacterium Longum, Lactobacillus
casei) are organisms and substances that help
improve the environment of the intestinal tract. These
organisms produce acids (such as acetic acid and
lactic acid) and other compounds, which inhibit the
growth of "bad" bacteria and promote “good” intestinal
flora. Science supports that an important first line of
defense in immunity is intestinal flora. Consulting with
Dr Khem Shahani, NWC included five strains of “good guy” bacteria in this formula specifically chosen
