Bovine colostrum, the milk produced by cows after giving birth, is rich in antibodies, vitamins, and minerals that can boost the immune system and improve exercise recovery and intensity. It can also promote digestive health, reduce aging symptoms, and has few known side effects. It can be taken in liquid or powder form, with typical doses ranging from 10 to 20 grams of powder or 25 to 125 milliliters of liquid. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before taking it.
Bovine colostrum is the early milk of a cow produced after giving birth. As an immune system booster, it is often taken to enhance recovery after exercise. In addition, it can improve the quality and intensity of said exercise. Bovine colostrum has also been used to promote digestive health and reduce symptoms of aging. Taken in liquid form or as a supplement, it appears to have few or no known harmful side effects.
Any milk produced by a cow during the first two to four days after the birth of a calf is labeled as bovine colostrum. This milk is rich in antibodies, vitamins, minerals, nucleosides, and many other compounds that are not necessarily found in normal milk. Such compounds are known to enhance the function of the immune system. Immunoglobulins, which are types of proteins also found in early-production milk, can also help boost the immune system.
There have been many studies in which bovine colostrum supplements were given to athletes. Such studies suggest that post-exercise recovery was improved as a result of taking these supplements. Rigorous exercise can be very hard on the immune system and bovine colostrum can alleviate this potential problem. It has also been shown to reduce fatigue, while increasing energy and exercise intensity.
Alleviation of various gastrointestinal problems has also been linked to the consumption of bovine colostrum. It seems, for example, to inhibit severe diarrhea. Also, some studies have found that it might reduce the symptoms of distal left-sided colitis when used as an enema. Other animal studies have shown that bovine colostrum may prevent ulcerative intestinal problems resulting from the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Some refer to early cow’s milk as a possible “fountain of youth” substance. It can help grow and repair both ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Various anti-aging abilities have been noted, including muscle toning, bone density increase, skin elasticity promotion, fat burning and wrinkle reduction.
Bovine colostrum can be taken in its original liquid form or as a dry powder. The dose can vary, as the substance varies from sample to sample in its levels of antibodies and other compounds. Typical doses are small, usually between 10 and 20 grams (about 2.1 to 4.2 teaspoons) of dry powder, or about 25 to 125 milliliters (about 0.8 to 4.2 ounces) of liquid. Serious side effects and contraindications have yet to be linked to taking such supplements, although they can cause flatulence and mild nausea for some. More information is required on the effects of colostrum in pregnant or lactating women. However, it may be advisable to consult with a knowledgeable healthcare professional before supplementing with colostrum.
