The Benefits of Bovine Colostrum
The Benefits of Bovine Colostrum
Bovine colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced by cows for just a few days after they give birth. Human mothers also produce the human form of colostrum for just a couple of days after giving birth and it is this clear colorless fluid that is thought to boost the immune system of an infant. The theory is that after or during a critical illness, taking bovine colostrum (as taking human colostrum is illegal) can help boost the human immune system just as it did when the human was an infant.
Bovine colostrum has many benefits, especially for the recovering invalid:
This fluid contains four to five times the protein as regular milk so it is an ideal whole food for people who have lost the ability to eat to consume. Of course this is not an ideal food for invalids who suffer from lactose intolerance although very ill individuals have been known to take a pill for lactose intolerance in order to still receive bovine colustrum benefits.
Bovine colostrum also contains many different factors that can help detoxify the body. It is thought to help eliminate the yeasts and harmful organisms that live in the colon and cause disease. These yeasts and organism produce alcohol and other toxic substances that strip a person of their ability to be energetic. Colostrum changes the environment in the colon from acidic to alkaline so that these organisms cannot thrive. In this way bovine colostrum has been effective for individuals suffering from some of the more mysterious ailments such as fibromylagia and chronic fatigue system.
The fact that bovine colostrum contains so much “good bacteria” also makes it a valuable ally to those suffering from annoying bowel conditions such as constipation, diarrhea and irritable colon diseases. Bovine colostrum has been especially shown to be effective at fighting off diarrhea in children and infants.
Colostrum also contains several infection fighting agents that help kill bacteria and viruses. This is invaluable for ill individuals who are vulnerable to being preyed opon by ordinary staph infections that can turn deadly.
Perhaps its main benefit is as an immune system booster. Bovine colostrum, like human colostrum contains what are called immunostimulatory substances that help protect compromised immune systems from attack. This makes it an invaluable ally in the fight against AIDS. In fact a special type of bovine colostrum is often recommended for AIDS patients as a way of protecting themselves against infections and disease.
In some circles bovine colostrum is also taken as part of a program for extending life or reducing the effects of aging. This is because this substance is considered to be even purer than mother’s milk and four times as nutritious. Often consuming it kicks off a cycle of detoxification that does lead to brighter eyes, clearer skin, better smelling breath and a more youthful appearance in general.
Some makers of bovine colostrum also claim that it burns fat and builds muscles but there are no studies in existence that prove these claims as being fact.
