In this episode, we dive deep into one of nature’s most powerful superfoods—colostrum—and explore its incredible benefits for immune function, gut health, and overall well-being. But we’re taking it a step further by introducing Immunel, a highly concentrated and bioactive colostrum extract developed by Sterling Technology. Immunel represents the 5th generation of colostrum, setting a new standard for immune and gut support.
Topics Covered:
What is Colostrum?
The first milk produced after birth, rich in antibodies (IgG), growth factors, and bioactive peptides.
The science behind 9,000+ PubMed studies on colostrum’s health benefits.
The Health Benefits of Bovine Colostrum
Immune Boosting: Clinical research shows colostrum is 3x more effective than the flu vaccine in reducing flu incidence.
Gut Healing Properties: Protects the GI lining, reduces diarrhea by 86.6%, and helps in ulcerative colitis management.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Supports those with NSAID-induced GI issues.
Stem Cell & Regenerative Potential.
Immunel: The Next Evolution in Colostrum
A concentrated colostrum extract packed with key bioactive compounds:
Growth Factors (IGF-1, TGF-ß2)
Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs) for immune modulation
Enzymes (lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin) for pathogen defense
Sialic Acid & Nucleotides essential for immune function & DNA synthesis
Immunel vs. Standard Colostrum
Unlike standard colostrum, which focuses on IgG content, Immunel is clinically validated for immune activation and pathogen defense.
Outperforms β-glucans and vitamin C in immune response.
Scientific Evidence on Immunel
Enhances phagocytosis & innate immunity
Activates Natural Killer (NK) cells (↑ CD69 expression)
Reduces bacterial lung infections by 70.2%
Lowers viral load by 64% in influenza
Why This Matters for Public Health
The economic burden of flu & colds: 75M lost workdays annually, costing $37.5B.
Growing consumer interest: 47% of people prioritize immune health, driving demand for functional foods.
Immunel is a next-generation, scientifically backed immune and gut health solution—more bioavailable and effective than traditional colostrum. Perfect for daily supplementation to support overall health and resilience.
