Overview
Humans, cows, and other mammals all produce colostrum, which is the breast fluid produced prior to the secretion of breast milk.
It is highly nutritious and rich in antibodies, which are proteins that fend off bacteria and diseases.
Colostrum helps babies and newborn animals grow and stay healthy, but studies suggest that consuming supplements of bovine colostrum may boost immunity, aid in the fight against infections, and enhance gut health over the course of a person’s lifetime.
Bovine colostrum supplements are discussed in this article in terms of their nutrition, advantages, and potential drawbacks.
