Does freezing colostrum harm or reduce the potential benefits of the colostrum liquid?
No, freezing colostrum does not harm the colostrum or reduce its dietary benefits. In fact it is healthier, because freezing obviously reduces risk of bacterial contamination that is of concern with raw colostrum maintained and transported in a liquid state. The consumer should feel confident that the integrity of the colostrum is maintained, because the colostrum moves from the cow directly into a freezer, where it is transported and then gently thawed and processed. We have discussed the process of freezing colostrum with lactating biologists, and they agree that freezing colostrum will not damage the immunoglobulin proteins or reduce their activities.(Mark McGuire, Ph.D.
