The Benefits of Colostrum Supplementation

You may have heard of colostrum as a food supplement, but what exactly is it? Colostrum is a nutrient-rich fluid produced by mammals during the first few days after birth. This bovine-derived food supplement offers a variety of biologically active proteins, including immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and other factors that support the maintenance of lean muscle tissue, as well as a healthy immune system.* Scientific studies have shown that colostrum may help to enhance bioavailability and absorption of nutrients into the body, while promoting healthy gastro-intestinal function.* In short, colostrum is a powerhouse nutrient that offers a variety of health benefits.

Colostrum and Immunity

One of the most well-known benefits of colostrum is its Immunoglobulin G (IgG) content. IgG are antibodies that can help to protect the body against infection.* In one study, participants who took a colostrum supplement for 12 weeks had significantly higher levels of IgG than those who did not take a supplement.* This suggests that colostrum supplementation may help to support a healthy immune system.*

Colostrum and Gut Health

Another potential benefit of colostrum is its effect on gut health. Colostrum contains lactoferrin, which is an antimicrobial protein that can help to promote a healthy gut microbiome by reducing the growth of unfriendly bacteria.* In addition, colostrum's Immunoglobulin A (IgA) content can help to support gut barrier function.* A healthy gut microbiome and barrier function are important for overall health.*

Colostrum and Muscle Mass

In addition to supporting immunity and gut health, colostrum has also been shown to promote muscle mass in both young and old adults.* One study showed that participants who took a whey protein and colostrum supplement for 12 weeks had greater increases in muscle mass than those who took whey protein alone.* Colostrum's IGF-1 content may be responsible for its muscle-building effects.* IGF-1 is a growth factor that promotes muscle growth and repair.*

As you can see, there are many potential benefits to taking a colostrium supplement.
