This is a form of milk that is produced by the mammary glands in the late stages of pregnancy and after giving birth. It is yellowish and water like but has high levels of nutrients and immunities. Colostrum is high in protein, carbohydrates and antibodies but is also low in fat. Newborn babies have small digestive systems and colostrum delivers all the nutrients they need in a very low concentrated form. It also contains a large number of vital antibodies that help to protect mucous membranes found in the throat, lungs and intestines. It also contains a large number of Leukocytes which are protective white cells that can destroy harmful viruses and bacteria.
Human milk contains special components that can be much more beneficial to premature babies than manufactured baby milks.
Humans often use Bovine Colostrum as a dietary supplement and can be added to some protein supplements for use by athletes and bodybuilders.

The chia plant is an annual that belongs to the mint family. Chia seeds are considered ‘superfoods’ for their high content of omega-3 fatty acids, and α-linolenic acid. They are also rich in protein, fat, dietary fibre, and essential minerals. Chia seeds slow down the speed the body converts carbohydrates into simple sugars, and swell to create a feeling of fullness, and are therefore ideal for assisting in weight management.

Chitosan is derived from chitin, which is found in the exoskeletons of shellfish such as crabs and prawns. It is similar to plant fibre in that it cannot be digested by the human body. Chitosan is a fat blocker, absorbing four to six times its weight in fat as it passes through the digestive tract. It thereby flushes fat out of the body before it becomes metabolised and stored as excess body weight.
