What is it and how can it help me?
Bovine Colostrum is a newer supplement that has only been around about a decade. It is valued because it can help boost your immune system, detoxify the body and delay aging. It is also a pure source of liquid food for those who have difficulty eating.
Bovine colostrum is created from the clear, colorless pre-milk fluid that is produced from the mammary glands of a cow. All mammals, including humans, produce this type of fluid for a few days after they give birth. This bovine colostrum is a rich source of antibodies and once passed along to a calf helps the newborn defend itself against various infectious microorganism, especially those that could infect the intestinal organs.
During the first few days of birth a human mother also produces the colostrum. Although human colostrum might be more suitable for boosting the human immune system it is illegal to sell it. This is why bovine colostrum (the next best thing to a human mother’s colostrum) has been developed to try and help boost the number of antibodies in a person suffering from any kind of infection.
Bovine colostrum is also full of good bacteria that might help restore balance to a human intestinal system that is bloated or diseased as the result of an overgrowth of yeast due to an over consumption of sugar or antibiotics.
This type of colostrum can also help people recovering from illnesses or who are compromised when it comes to eating solid food because it is one of the richest sources of protein on earth. Bovine colostrum actually contains three to four times as much protein as regular cow’s milk.
Other good things for you that are found in bovine colostrum include casein, lactoferrin, alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, and many insulin-like growth factors including IGF-1, IGF-2 and TGFBeta and EGF. These are all subtle factors that can help improve everything from your blood sugar to your energy levels to your resistance against cancer. They can also improve the look of your skin and encourage the elimination of toxins.
The main purpose of this supplement, which is growing more and more popular every day, is it’s immune fighting properties. It is treasured for its immunoglobulins of the IgG type, which are protective against such infectious microorganisms as Cryptosporidium parvum (a major cause of AIDS-associated diarrhea) and all kinds of bacteria that causes diarrhea including Escherichia coli strains, Shigella flexneri, Clostridium difficile, and rotavirus, the most common cause of terrible diarrhea in youngsters.
If you have AIDS a special type of bovine colostrum has been created. Cows are injected with AIDS so that they will produce colostrum that has AIDS antibodies in them that are appropriate for helping victims of the disease fight off its ravaging effects.
A note to those with lactose intolerance – bovine colostrum may not be a good supplement for you to take! It contains the same type of lactose that cow’s milk does so you are likely to suffer from the same kind of constipation and bloating that you do when you consume any kind of dairy product that comes from a cow.
