>Karl -Does the fresh colostrum survive cooking/boiling? Regards Harsha Godavari
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.
