Company Timeline

Our History/ Timeline Title

Founding of La Belle

Aaron Wiebe and his son Henry Wiebe founded La Belle, Inc. with a commitment to honesty and innovation.

Founding of APS Biogroup

Founded by Dr. Andrew Keech based on a vision to build a colostrum manufacturing facility that would set a new global standard for colostrum product quality and efficacy.

Our Proud Farmers

Our dairy farmers are America's best

We partner with the best of American dairy farmers, collecting excess colostrum produced only after each calf has had the opportunity to experience the benefits itself. Collecting the colostrum is alway minimally invasive so our partner farms can keep running and ethical collection can continue as usual.

Commitment to Quality

The health of animals is our priority. After each calf has received the colostrum it needs, we then collect the excess colostrum from first day milkings. We only partner with dairies that are in compliance with local, state, and federal law and regulations for animal care and herd health.

Each dairy is thoroughly evaluated through a formal assessment process of quality guidelines. Colostrum collected during the first day after a calf is born has significantly higher levels of bioactive components, including immunoglobulins (Ig). We accept colostrum from the first day only. Combining nation-wide collection with our prime location in the Southwest United States enables us to collect fresh colostrum all year.

We track all of our colostrum from farm to facility, and quality compliance is confirmed on a regular basis. Each dairy is assigned a unique identification number, which is traced throughout the entire manufacturing process.

Bioactive Components

Immunoglobins

Also known as antibodies, immunoglobulins are used by the immune system to identify, attack and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. Absorption of immunoglobulins is essential for the passive immunity of neonatal mammals after birth.Colostrum contains IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE1

  • IgG: bovine colostrum has more IgG than all the other immunoglobulins found in colostrum. It provides a large portion of immunity against invading pathogens. IgG also helps to initiate the cascade of other immune functions.
  • IgA: strategically resides in areas like the gastrointestinal, respiratory and urogenital tracts to play a critical role in mucosal immunity by preventing specific pathogens from colonizing.
  • IgM: the first responder to pathogens entering the body. Attacks bacteria, rendering them inactive.
  • IgE: plays an important role in allergenic reactions and aids in the response to parasites in the digestive system.
  • IgD: functions closely with IgM to send a signal to B cells, thus activating them into action. Once activated, they begin to participate with other immunoglobulins to bolster the body’s immune system. Also help in creating specificity to antigens.

Cytokines

Colostrum contains many of these biological response modifiers. These can be protein, peptide or glycoprotein signaling molecules that are used in cellular communications. Cytokines have a specific role as regulators of epithelial cell growth and development, including intestinal inflammation and epithelial restoration following mucosal damage. They are also important mediators in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses.

  • Colostrum contains numerous cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1ra2
  • These small peptide molecules are important mediators in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses3
  • In the newborn, cytokines play an important role in combination with the ingested maternal immunoglobulins and non-specific antibacterial components of colostrum4
  • They are major regulators of epithelial cell growth and development, including intestinal inflammation and epithelial restitution following mucosal damage

Lactoferrin

One of the antimicrobial components of the immune system that fights bacteria and fungi in the body, Lactoferrin binds metal ions which are necessary bacterial metabolites, making them unavailable for bacterial development. Lactoferrin has been shown to inhibit the growth of specific microbes, like E. coli and Salmonella. Lactoferrin has additionally demonstrated antiviral effects.

  • Lactoferrin is an 80 kDa iron-binding glycoprotein with antiviral and antimicrobial activity
  • Shown to inhibit the growth of specific microbes including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella, dysenteria, and Streptococcus mutans6,7,8
  • Antiviral effects against herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and human cytomegalovirus9,10
  • Plays an important role in iron uptake in the intestine and in the activation of phagocytes and immune responses3
  • Immune mediator regulating target cells responses, including those involved in oxidative stress and systematic inflammatory responses
  • Clinical studies show lactoferrin can inactivate LPS and inhibit dermal inflammatory cytokine production, indicating lactoferrin may have a potent anti-inflammatory effect11
