Why Colostrum?

Why should you incorporate colostrum into your daily life, let’s start off with the basics!

What is Colostrum?

Colostrum is a unique protein that is derived from cows in a pre-milk fluid that is secreted around 2-4 days postpartum. Colostrum is rich in proteins, packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients that are immensely beneficial to your body. It is essentially the most protein-rich state of milk.

What are the Benefits?

Some of the Primary benefits associated with colostrum include:

Improved overall health

As this pre-milk supplement is basically a form of super-nutrient enriched milk, it provides a number of health and well-being benefits, due to the natural nutrient contents. For example, the antibodies and antioxidants help to boost the immune system, which in turn will provide additional protection against a whole host of various ailments.

Improved digestive health

As mentioned, another benefit of this supplement, is the fact that it has been proven to neutralise harmful bacteria found living within the digestive tract, and it can therefore provide optimal digestive health. Conditions such as diarrhea, ulcerative bowel troubles, poor nutrient absorption, and many more, can all be alleviated as a result of this supplement.

Increased muscle mass

A lot of bodybuilders also supplement with bovine colostrum, as the supplement is rich in amino acids, nutrients, and proteins, which are vital for the growth and repair of muscle tissue. What’s more, as they can also help to enhance the metabolism, you will often find that you will burn fat, whilst building lean muscle at the same time.
