| How does colostrum produce the anti-aging
results? |
| |
When we hit puberty our bodies begin slowing
down. As children our thymus gland (which is the critical thermostat
for our entire immune system) is the size of an orange. But by the
time we reach our early 40's the thymus gland has shrunk to the size of a
pea. By the time we reach our 70's and 80's this gland is no more than
a string. Colostrum has shown to actually re-grow our thymus gland to
a normal size.
Plus the growth factors necessary for
all parts of our body slows down considerably. In fact, air pollution,
preservatives in foods and stress that bombards us these days have actually
made our body's slow down more and our thymus glands to shrink to the size
of a pea as early as our 30's.
The growth factors in colostrum return our body's
functions to "normal". They will replace growth factors and return
them to normal levels by re-growing all cell types in our bodies.
Knowing that our entire body is made up of cells, you will find that your
skin is smoother and tighter, you will lose wrinkles, you will have more
energy, better moods, better eyesight, weight loss and even rebuilds bone
mass and cartilage. Colostrum works with your body to utilize its
natural substances and increases your overall health. (Return
