Colostrum and first milk are natural foods that have been used since ancient times as dietary supplements. They contain immune and growth factors that help boost the immunity, fight disease, increase recovery from effort, grow lean muscle and heal damaged tissue.

Recovery from Illness
Colostrum’s nutritional properties for good health are of tremendous value. Its immune and growth factors can prevent illnesses and disease and help to regulate the immune system, as well as delay the ageing process. The benefits from neovite are seen after supplementation for a period of at least 14 days neovite Colostrum can:

1. Fight infection and boost immunity
2. Promote digestive intestinal health
3. Speed healing and recovery

Improve your performance!
'Neovite is ideal for athletes and those who train regularly but don’t gain the expected results. As a dietary and sports supplement, colostrum boosts the immune system protecting against infections caused by the physical and psychological stress of competing. neovite allows maximum training and fitness and increases the efficiency of the digestive system to supply neovite's amino acids and growth factors to muscles and vital organs. The combination of decreased illness, increased nutrient uptake, and increased strength results in reduced downtime for training, faster recovery, greater lean muscle mass and superior overall performance.'

Colostrum improves absorption of amino acids and growth factors to muscles and organs and brings:
- faster recovery from effort
- greater lean muscle mass
- stronger bones and tendons

Recommended daily use of colostrum to help you calculate your daily needs
Immune or digestive needs 2-4 grams 1-2 times per day
Recovery from injury 5-10 grams 2 times per day
Muscle build-up 10-15 grams 2 times per day
Professional athletes 20-30 grams 2 times per day
1 gram = 1 level teaspoon
5 gram = 1 level dessertspoon

Higher dosages can be reduced once the target has been achieved. For example, professional athletes may use high dosage during pre-season training, but reduce to 10 grams per day during competition to protect their immune system against stresses.

Typical composition of collostrum

In terms of sports, neovite Colostrum does need to be taken 2 months prior to an event as it is involved in boosting the effectiveness of training as well as recovery from a competitive event. The minimum time that it could be taken to protect the body for a specific event would be 14 days. This is unlikely to give protective or boost effects during the training over those 14 days.

neovite is produced from cow’s milk taken during the first 48 hours after calving and includes colostrum.

Russell last won a national cycling title in 1996 and at the age of 41 he felt he was no longer a match for the younger racers. This year he decided to try neovite. Russell took 10 grams of neovite daily for the three months leading up to the National Championships and went on to win the title, beating athletes half his age.

Russell felt that neovite helped him to stay in condition to complete the training necessary to win a national title. He had no illness, injury or exhaustion during the training period. “Training and racing is the easy part,” said Russell. “The hardest thing in top sport is to stay healthy and injury-free. Neovite helped me to do just that.”

Athletes in Australia and New Zealand already use colostrum to maintain their conditioning and over 300 tons were sold in the USA last year!

During his cycling career Russell Williams, 41, has won titles at all levels. He now coaches at the Herne Hill track in South London and commentates for the Eurosport TV channel in addition to his own training and racing.

British dairy farmers have given the surplus first milk to their families for hundreds of years. Ayurvedic physicians in India have used colostrum for countless generations. It is highly valued by the Maasai herdsmen in Kenya, and its use is widespread in Finland and Scandinavia. In the United States, mainstream medical practitioners recommended colostrum as a natural cure before the discovery of penicillin and sulfa drugs. In the 1950s, colostrum was first used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Dr. Albert Sabin, who developed the polio vaccine, found cow's colostrum then contained antibodies against human polio and recommended it as a children's supplement. 300 ton of colostrum is now sold in the USA each year and it recently became available in the UK through neovite.
