Suzy, The Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) that some dairy farmers use is synthetic. It's produced by a genetically engineered bacteria (e-colli I think). It is NOT the same thing that the cow produces naturally and is found in colostrum. Their are several hormone co-factors associated with the growth factor in bovine colostrum. rBGH is a synthetic form of just one of them. If you consume genectically engineered products/pseudo-foods, you are playing with fire as well as supporting those companies (like Monsanto) which produce them. They do not have the wisdom and foresight to play with the genetic blueprints of Nature. Their motivation is money and control of the world's food supply .

Know a form of GH is available at CellFood Concentrado Thanks. suzy Hello! Colostrum needs to be processed at a low temperature, like many nutrients. Cooking/boiling would probably destroy most of the growth hormone and beneficial growth factors. Powdered colostrum is processed at a low temperature to preserve these compounds. (Make certain that colostrum you buy is low temperature processed, or that they quote the amount of IGF-1 (GF- growth factor) that is left in it. Normal amount is 15%, without it being particuarly concentrated.) If you know a farmer, though, if you can get fresh liquid colostrum, you can freeze it, and most of the beneficial nutrients will survive. Hope this helps a little. Karl Kristianson
