For those of you wondering (Like me) what the hell colostrum is. TY GP !
Bovine colostrum is a milky fluid that comes from the breasts of cows the first few days after giving birth, before true milk appears. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and specific kinds of proteins called antibodies that fight disease-causing agents such as bacteria and viruses. Antibody levels in bovine colostrum can be 100 times higher than levels in regular cow's milk.
People originally got interested in bovine colostrum because of the high antibody levels. They thought that the antibodies might prevent infections in people.
Some athletes take bovine colostrum by mouth to burn fat, build lean muscle, increase stamina and vitality, and improve athletic performance. Bovine colostrum is not on the banned drug list of the International Olympic Committee.
Bovine colostrum is also taken by mouth for boosting the immune system, healing injuries, repairing nervous system damage, improving mood and sense of well-being, slowing and reversing aging, and as an agent for killing bacteria and fungus.
Bovine colostrum is used in the rectum for inflammation of the colon (colitis). It is used in the vagina for HPV (human papilloma virus) and for thinning of the vaginal wall in women after menopause.
Bovine colostrum is applied in the mouth to reduce dental plaque and to treat mouth inflammation associated with diseases like oral lichen planus and Sjogren's syndrome. In the eyes, bovine colostrum is applied for dry eyes.
Researchers have created a special type of bovine colostrum called "hyperimmune bovine colostrum." This special colostrum is produced by cows that have received vaccinations against specific disease-causing organisms. The vaccinations cause the cows to develop antibodies to fight those specific organisms. The antibodies pass into the colostrum. Hyperimmune bovine colostrum has been used in clinical trials for treating AIDS-related diarrhea, diarrhea associated with graft versus host disease following bone marrow transplant, and rotavirus diarrhea in children.
