Colostrum Description
Colostrum -
Colostrum is
sometimes referred to as "mother's milk" because it is derived from
a substance that later becomes normal cow's milk. Colostrum is taken
just after, or within a few hours, of the cow having given birth.
Specifically, the cow will produce a thick yellow substance at the
udder that is extremely rich in nutrients for the newborn calf. For
the calf, Colostrum is a complete food full of protein,
carbohydrates, fat and vitamins. Bovine Colostrum also contains the
beneficial glyco-proteins and protease inhibitors that have
medicinal properties. Colostrum is believed to be a booster to the
human immune system. Colostrum is also widely used to promote
growth. It is also vended for those who are looking for a substance
with fat burning properties, owing to the growth factors present.
