I don't have info specifically to "Natural Care" but I would start by
contacting the formula rep and getting the ingredients from them.  HMF are
usually very HIGH in vitamins especially A add that to the vitamins in
Colostrum  and you can estimate how much over the RDA they are getting.  IN
addition,  it is usually made from cow's milk thereby theoreticallly  even
one drop is enought to set up the reaction that leads to diabetes and
allergy.
