Colostrum Part 4: About the New Zealand Colostrum

100% Pure New Zealand

The colostrum produced in New Zealand has earned world wide respect and recognition for its purity and quality. Those who have researched and used this unequaled health supplement have long been convinced that New Zealand dairy farmers produce the world's best. Even farmers from the US have agreed that New Zealand has some of the best farming practices seen on the planet.

The New Zealand climates allows pastures to grow readily, enabling the cows to be pasture-fed all year round. Because of their daily exposures to soil bacteria these cattle have a more developed immune system. The healthy green grass as well provides beneficial enzymes. some of which are found in the colostrum aiding in its assimilation. The intensely managed, year-round pasturelands in New Zealand result in the cows requiring little or no supplemental grains.


Quality Control

In New Zealand, the Ministry of Agriculture (MAF) Dairy and Plant Products Group twice yearly convenes to review standards relating to colostrum. Production, storage and transportation of the product must all be in accordance with the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) code of practice which regulates the complete process from cow to customer.

All dairy farms and milk production facilities must be certified by MAF which has strict guidelines as to how colostrum is harvested, transported, processed and stored for maximum potency and safety. All factories are also required to be compliant with International Standard (ISO).

The purity and safety are not the only reasons for colostrum to be from dairy farms where there is no use of hormones, antibiotics, harmful herbicides or pesticides and no residue of radioactive or toxic contamination.

Research has shown that to be fully effective colostrum should be prepared without freezing or excessive heat.
