B.I.O.Ig 20% is a colostrum powder produced from high-quality bovine colostrum and is a rich source of bioactive compounds essential for development and defense functions. B.I.O.Ig 20% can benefit the immune system and health of animals of all ages and species. The synergistic effect of the biologically active components of bovine colostrum can contribute to the maturation of the digestive tract, the balance of the intestinal microbiota, the modulation of the intestinal immune system and the repair of the mucosa. The components in bovine colostrum work to increase resistance to infection and disease caused by a wide range of pathogens.
Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins—especially immunoglobulin G, which is important for the development of passive immunity in the newborn. Colostrum also contains other immunological factors, such as cytokines, which can modulate the development and maturation of the immune system. Non-specific antimicrobial factors—such as lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase—act as antioxidants and immunomodulators, supporting local and systemic immunity.
Colostrum contains components that stimulate the growth, differentiation, and development of various cell types and tissues. They not only contribute to normal growth and development, but also support the normal repair process of aged or injured tissues. These growth factors include IGF-1, which promotes healthy cell replacement and tissue growth, and EGF, which promotes a healthy gastrointestinal tract and optimizes normal absorption from the intestines.
Bovine colostrum also has increased nutrient levels. It contains more than 4 times the protein content of regular milk, primarily due to its high immunoglobulin and casein content. Colostrum is also significantly higher in fat than milk, as energy from fat is critical for thermogenesis and body temperature regulation. Vitamins and minerals including calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B12, folic acid, choline, and selenium are found in bovine colostrum. As such, B.I.O.Ig 20% is also an excellent source of supplemental nutrition.
The quality of colostrum is essential to its benefits, and the quality of B.I.O.Ig 20% can be guaranteed from start to finish. B.I.O.Ig 20% is produced from colostrum collected from dairy farms that are free of notifiable and reportable diseases. Herd health and farm hygiene are regulated, and the quality of the colostrum is routinely assessed. During processing, care is taken to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients in the final product. As a result, B.I.O.Ig 20% contains high levels of immunoglobulins, immunologically active and bioactive substances. B.I.O.Ig 20% is standardized to 20% immunoglobulin G.
