Description and Suggested Applications
EFL_APS-18F is a pasteurized, 100% full fat colostrum powder produced from raw colostrum collected only from
milkings within 16 hours after birth. EFL_APS-18F is processed both at low pressures and temperatures and is
spray dried using indirect steam to maintain maximum bio-activity. The colostrum used to produce EFL_APS-18F
is from antibiotic and pesticide free sources.
Suggested applications include: immune system enhancement, nutritional supplement, digestive health
improvement, protein supplement and alternative treatment for general health.

Packaging, Shipping and Storage
Colostrum proteins are hygroscopic and can absorb odors. Temperatures below 75 degrees F, relative humidity
below 65% and an odor free environment will extend storage life. Stocks should be used in rotation and
preferably within three years.
