Is Anovité Colostrum the Best of the Best?

In order to understand more deeply the whole food colostrum products that I daily put into my body, I have invested hours upon hours studying not only Anovite's Colostrum6, but also as many as 12 other colostrum products in-depth. In addition, I've listened to copious webinars and podcasts, and read books and articles from physicians un-related to Anovite in regards to the value of colostrum in the body at all ages. 



How can all have the same product name yet so many different structures, methods of acquiring, and benefits of colostrum?  As a consumer, I want to know for a fact that I'm spending my resources on top quality products, and I'm not afraid to ask the hard questions. I'm sharing some of what I have learned. It has been a very informative endeavor of research with so many different companies and experts.

What's inside this issue . . .


  • WHAT MAKES ANOVITÉ STAND OUT AMONG THE COMPETITION
  • THE COST OF ANOVITÉ VS THE COMPETITORS

SOURCING OF COLOSTRUM

AnovitĂ© sources from farms across the US - thousands of cows' colostrum are pooled and antibodies from many different areas representing many different pathogens are all blended together for a potent raw colostrum product with powerful and diverse antibodies. This provides broad based immune factors. 


Other companies researched showed products being marketed in our country are often produced in other countries. Those harvested from US farms make no mention of strategic pooling of the product.

The Nutrients in Colostrum

AnovitĂ© colostrum has a well documented 700 + nutrients that rebuild, repair, and regenerate every system within the human body. It is a true 6-hour colostrum with no transitional milk. 


Other companies researched in the Consumer Health Digest were reporting that their colostrum has 200+ ingredients, 300+ ingredients, and some even 400+ ingredients. Advertisers touted 24, 48, and 72 hour collection of colostrum. Transitional milk has let down in each of these scenarios, and even in 6 hour collection when not harvested in a specific manner. Lactose and casein are higher in these scenarios and nutritional components are lacking.

Research Backing and Consistency

Anovité

  • backed by 24 years of research and 3rd party testing
  • more than 130 editorials written on the products
  • validated by Dr. Don Lein, Professor Emeritus, Cornell University as true colostrum according to The Fundamentals of Dairy Chemistry
  • winner of the People's Choice Award and Reader's Choice Award
  • formulator, owner, manufacturer for 32 years - Dr. Anthony Kleinshmith, Ph. D Nutritional Science, Ph. D, ND - no middle man
  • ingredients: Colostrum with milk derived proteins - formulation consistent for 32 years


Other companies

In Consumer Health Digest, I found concerns from users over the dairy content and pathogens reported. I found statements of proprietary formulations removing "unnecessary" bovine compounds from the colostrum. A few of the companies I researched had been in business since 2016, 2020, and another older company was found that had been cited for claims not fitting to their product and no deeper information found on the company. Their product is still sold. The company I initially purchased from no longer sells colostrum, yet they isolate a part of it out and sell it. Labels on products I researched showed variations of the following: Contains milk and/or flavorings and sunflower lecithin. Some only sell in capsules. Some have long lists of ingredients, yet all are labeled “Colostrum”.

Whole Food Status without Transitional Milk

Always make sure your products are labeled 100% Colostrum and not colostrum whey or transitional milk. Labeling can be very misleading these days. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer!

 

Did you know? A first-milking colostrum contains enough lactose to improve energy levels but not so much as to cause many of the possible discomforts associated with lactose intolerance. 


If a tiny amount of lactose in the colostrum is a concern, consider a lactose digestive aid for a short time as the gut takes up this powerful nutrition to aid in helping the body to move back toward balance to the place that the immune system is not fighting the individual's body.


AnovitĂ© Colostrum6 is true whole food colostrum. IT IS NOT MILK - it is a pre-milk fluid only that is produced for a very short time in cows and taken in a proprietary manner. It contains only a small amount of lactose when you have a high quality colostrum with very little transitional milk.  It is a whole food - low heat dried, kept whole and raw just as nature intended it; no adulteration or changes. It can be added to warm beverages without loss of nutrient benefits- makes a delicious latte, or piping hot bowl of oatmeal. The rich creamy flavor can quickly become a craving! My grandkids started out calling it "freeze-dried ice cream"!

Other companies' colostrum products report being fractionated, standardized (tinkered with), and fat removed "for better absorption" and " longer shelf stability" to name a few. Then, different components of the colostrum are isolated out and sold as an immune booster. They also report adding in other substances to replace the fat, thus de-naturing what nature designed and creating what they call a "unique system" to enhance delivery.  Consumer Health Digest and other sources report the fat being removed from colostrum products. These adulterated products can now only be added to cool foods or drinks as they are not stable in heat. Altered, colostrum is no longer a stable whole food, and with the fat removed, has no flavor or taste. This would explain why several of them are adding “flavorings” and even altering those flavorings regularly. 

Safety and Efficacy

AnovitĂ© reports taking the colostrum in a proprietary manner up to 6 hours after the calf is born. This critical timing is when colostrum contains the most bioactive nutrients. As colostrum transitions to milk, those levels drop fast. Colostrum6 reports no side effects or drug interactions, and that as a whole food, it can be consumed in any quantity.  Since it does help the bowel to absorb nutrients much more effectively, you may see side effects from supplements, herbs or medications you take and want to consider cutting back and even re-thinking the need for these products. We recommend discussing these and medications for re-evaluation of need/dosing with your practitioners. 


Other companies report 6, 24, 48, and 72 hour colostrum collections. Depending on method of collection, each of these collection times are exponentially increasing in transitional milk and by 72 hours, you could just buy it on the grocery store shelf as “milk”. Concerns of interactions with certain medications are listed as possible due to the presence of milk. True colostrum is not milk.

Comparing the Cost

Anovité:

  • 120 servings = $61
  • 604 servings = $189
  • 90-day money-back guarantee full refund minus shipping


Other companies:

  • 120 servings = $110
  • 83 servings = $110 
  • 30 servings = $68
  • 30 and 60 day money-back guarantees; some only partial refunds and others, no refunds at all

PRP Value

Think about it: 


Can a one-legged man run a race? No, he can eat, drink, think, work, but a major component is missing from his body. Take away something of the value, like a leg in the human body and functionality will definitely suffer. Think about adding a prosthetic - the man can then run, but will he run as if it were the leg he was born with? 



PRP (Proline-rich polypeptides) is found in the fat of colostrum, and is likely the top component in terms of the enormous value to the immune system in bringing modulation or balance to the under-active or over-active immune system. Consuming whole food colostrum containing naturally occurring PRP is much like re-booting your computer. Some of the "bugs" are routed out and balance begins to be restored.


Anovité has tested many lots of their product and the lowest PRP average was 24% value. No alterations or adulterations in the chemistry of colostrum are performed. It is naturally present PRP.

 

Other companies report a 3-4% average value of the PRP presence in their products. This is primarily due to the removal of the fat, and the replacement with something deemed better than Mother Nature. The natural percentage of PRP is drastically lowered.

Did You Know?

Did you know that colostrum products are marketed by production facilities, but also by marketing companies? 

  • A marketing company white labels a product and can make any claims of treating, diagnosing or curing that they want with no threats from the FDA or FTC because the marketing company is just that -- marketing. There is no actual facility to inspect. 
  • A production facility actually has hands on in producing the product, and in the case of AnovitĂ©, has the formulator and the production in touch with the product from formulation to shipping out. Regular FDA inspections occur. 


If you want to know about a product you are looking at, call and ask, 

  • Do you produce your own product? 
  • Where is your production facility located? 


Many marketers are on the colostrum market today.

Closing Thought to Think On

There are many "one note players" on the shelves of health food and on-line stores in terms of balancing the gut and immune system. Anovité Colostrum6 is the whole symphony. It is stable, has integrity, and stays raw through the whole process until delivered to you. The potency is maintained from the raw state through to the end product. It is truly liquid gold in its pure and natural form that gives your body what it needs to move itself toward balance.
