I began taking immunomilk grass-fed colostrum from heart and soil about six months ago and I am nothing but impressed. This summer I have rarely needed its issue, let alone a pharmacy worth of medications.

I am so happy to have a natural way to feel better.

I think grass-fed colostrum is probably our most underrated supplement at heart and soil supplements. So this is the first milk from cows.

It is immunoglobulin rich. It is full of powerful peptides like IGF 1 and 2, TGF alpha and beta and colostrinin, which is a peptide that has been studied and improves Alzheimer's disease outcomes and patients.

When you're having more saturated fat and less seed oils, your LDL might go up. Is that bad? He talks about how he thinks about risk from a cardiovascular perspective.

2:22.0
