Colostrum is often called the immune system in liquid form. It’s nature’s first gift to newborns, packed with immune compounds that protect and strengthen the body from day one. But not all colostrum is the same. Many products on the market lose their effectiveness during processing.
That’s where ultra-specific processing (USP) makes all the difference. This method keeps all the good stuff intact while removing impurities—creating truly high-quality colostrum that works as nature intended.
What Makes Colostrum So Special
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals after birth. It’s rich in immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), growth factors, enzymes, and oligosaccharides that feed healthy gut bacteria. It’s vital for newborns and beneficial for adults too. Studies show that bioactive colostrum helps reduce inflammation, supports digestion, and boosts overall immunity.
Why Not All Colostrum Products Are Equal
The source and handling of colostrum determine its quality. Some dairies use hormones to increase milk production, which weakens the natural immune value of the milk. Others mix in pig plasma or artificial substitutes. These shortcuts create low-quality, ineffective products. True high-quality colostrum starts with healthy, naturally producing cows and precise scientific processing.
How Ultra-Specific Processing Works
Ultra-specific processing is a gentle, step-by-step method that purifies and protects colostrum’s fragile nutrients.
Step 1: Testing
Each batch is tested for quality, checking IgG levels, antibiotic residues, hormones, and pesticides. Only the best colostrum moves forward.
Step 2: Filtration
Impurities like mucus and blood cells are removed through microfiltration without damaging key bioactive compounds.
Step 3: Gentle Heat
Unlike regular pasteurization, USP uses very low heat to keep immune proteins active.
Step 4: Concentration
The liquid is concentrated up to five times to ensure a 25–30% antibody content, making it strong and consistent every time.
The Power of BIOactor™ Colostrum
BIOactor™ colostrum by McIntosh Pro Line Products uses USP to deliver purity and performance. It keeps vital immune compounds intact and enhances the body’s ability to absorb them.
Supporting the Gut
BIOactor™ contains over 140 oligosaccharides that feed good bacteria in the gut. This improves digestion, strengthens immunity, and keeps harmful microbes in check. For extra support during healing, see our guide on post-surgery skin care and healing in dogs for immune-friendly recovery tips.
Strengthening Immunity
BIOactor™ increases the concentration of key immune proteins like lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and lysozyme. Together, they fight bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Why Processing Quality Matters
Without careful handling, heat and oxidation destroy colostrum’s fragile proteins. Ultra-specific processing colostrum protects these active compounds, so every batch stays powerful and consistent. It’s clean, safe, and biologically alive.
Benefits of BIOactor™ Colostrum
