Colostrum Powder 100g (1,200mg per scoop)

What is Colostrum?

Colostrum is the pre-milk liquid that mothers produce at birth and the first few days of life. It is full of immune-enhancing antibodies, other important immune factors, and essential growth factors to ensure health and vitality for adults and children. Our decision to stock colostrum was made as a result one our candida customers telling us how it had cured her irritable bowel, bloating and wind. Her exact words were "I couldn't believe it".

More Information

Is the uneven fight against infections your everyday life? It's time to take care of it comprehensively, strengthening the body's immunity. Colostrum and zinc are your protective shield, helping you improve the functioning of the immune system so you can say goodbye to all too common diseases.

Colostrum is a nutritional, natural substance that is produced by female mammals in the mammary glands in late pregnancy and immediately after giving birth. This fluid is responsible for stimulating the immune system and is designed to protect the newborn from pathogenic microorganisms. Colostrum – has a number of positive properties for the human body ^[1]. Immunoglobulins found in milk and colostrum are an important component of immune activity. Bovine colostrum contains immunoglobulin G that protects the body from infection. This substance contributes to enhancing the immune response in humans ^[2] and can prevent the development of infections, as well as support their fight ^[1]. It has also been proven that it has a repairing effect on muscles and cartilages, supports wound healing and promotes the regeneration of structural body cells– e.g. intestines^[1]. Research suggests that taking colostrum may also reduce the risk of traveller's diarrhoea^[3]. The potential of colostrum is encouraging and the benefits of supplementation are also reflected in the quality of training. Bovine colostrum can affect body composition. It has been shown that taking colostrum contributes to an increase in lean body mass in physically active people ^[4]. Colostrum also increases peak anaerobic power during training^[5] and improves regeneration – and this can translate into increased efficiency^[6].
