Question: What Is Bovine Colostrum? Is It Safe For Human Consumption?

What is Bovine Colostrum? Is it safe for human consumption? If so, what are the benefits?


Answer #1

Colostrum is the substance secreted by mammary glands of all mammals (including humans) before the "milk comes in." It is essential for the immune system of the newborn. Bovine (cow) colostrum is apparently very similar in composition to human colostrum and is collected and processed for human consumption. It is supposed to do wonders in warding off infection and treating existing infections.

I started taking colostrum in capsule form about 1 week ago after a lot of research. I wasn't sick or trying to "treat" anything, but I notice a definite difference in energy level. Also, my son has had a wart on his thumb that has been frozen at the doctor's office twice, but came back both times. I had read that colostrum could be beneficial (after all, warts are caused by a virus). I have applied the colostrum directly to the wart (open capsule and make a paste with water) once a day for the last four days and covered with bandage. I have also given him the contents of one capsule in orange juice just once a day. There is already a huge difference--it's literally disappearing. It's my understanding that a lot of doctors are acknowledging the benefits of colostrum and in these days of over prescribing antibiotics, I think bovine colostrum may be a natural safe alternative.


Answer #2

I have been taking colostrum for about 8 months now, and it has helped my body immensely with growth and mass. I lift weights 3 days a week on an intense program and have seen great results so far. Although if you take colostrum daily, be aware that if you stop suddenly your body WILL know the difference. I recommend it to any bodybuilder with a desire to increase your size. Like anything that you put into your body, you should know as much as you can about it BEFORE taking it.
