Colostrum

Sort by:

Colostrum is a milky fluid released by humans, cows, and other mammals before breast milk production begins. It is extremely nutritious and high in antibodies – proteins that fight infections and bacteria.

Colostrum promotes growth and health in infants and newborn animals. However, research shows that taking bovine colostrum supplements may promote immunity, help fight infections, and improve gut health throughout life.

What is Colostrum?

It is an invaluable source of nutrients that promotes growth and fights disease in infants. However, it can also be consumed during other phases of life – typically in supplement form.

Even though all mammals produce colostrum, supplements are usually made from the colostrum of cows. Bovine colostrum is similar to human colostrum – it’s rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, disease-fighting proteins, growth hormones, and digestive enzymes. Bovine colostrum supplements have become popular in recent years since they may promote immunity, fight infections, and improve gut health.

Colostrum and its benefits

May boost immunity

Bovine colostrum may strengthen your immune system and help your body fight pathogens. The immune-boosting effect of colostrum is mostly due to its high concentration of the antibodies IgA and IgG. Antibodies are proteins that fight viruses and bacteria.

May prevent and treat diarrhoea

The compounds in bovine colostrum, especially various antibodies and the protein lactoferrin, may help prevent diarrhoea associated with bacterial and viral infections.

May benefit gut health

Bovine colostrum strengthens your gut and fights infections in the digestive tract.
