Top 10 Health Benefits of Colostrum - The Natural Body Supercharger

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Before we take a look at the health benefits of colostrum, let’s see where it originates from and what was its application through the years.

Colostrum is a pre milk fluid that is produced by female mammals just after birth to boost a newborn’s immune system. It supercharges the body with 97 immune factors, 87 growth factors, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. This unique super-food was designed by nature to help the newborn grow strong and healthy.

Why is colostrum important? It’s because after we pass puberty, human colostrum in our bodies starts to decline leaving our immune system. This leads us more susceptible to allergies, viruses, fungi, bacterial infections and illness.

We can obtain colostrum from bovine colostrum extracted from cow or goat milk. It’s a natural, complete whole food dietary supplement. It has little to no side effects, even at large doses. Your body simply can’t have enough of it!

Back in the 1940’s colostrum was used for treating people with arthritis. In the 1950’s colostrum was used as a source of natural antibodies which lead to the creation of the polio vaccine. Since then it’s been used to fight against autoimmune problems, as well as helping sportsmen and sportswomen to grow more lean muscle mass and help them in recovery after intense training sessions.

In 2007 a published study of colostrum found that colostrum was 3 times more effective than the flu vaccine in preventing flu. It’s a great natural alternative in fighting seasonal flu’s if taken on a daily basis. Some of the main health benefits of colostrum are:

Strengthens the immune system against fungi, bacteria, viruses and Candida.
Helps against depression and enhance mood.
Increases your muscle mass and metabolic rate.
Reduces allergic reactions like hay fever. Helps tone down allergic responses for people with asthma which otherwise may bring an attack.
Balances the blood sugar, which helps control insulin levels in diabetes.
Rejuvenates skin and muscle tissue. Colostrum can be used topically as a paste to heal wounds, scars and acne by healing skin inflammation and stimulating cell growth.
Supports healthy joint and cartilage function. Colostrum is a very effective anti-inflammatory compound which can help people with arthritis. It can also help other forms of inflammation from the digestive system which may be linked to arthritis.
Promotes healthy intestinal flora in your digestive system.
Accelerates healing in the case of injury or trauma, as well as helping in recovery from cancer treatments. It does that by turning white blood cells into functionally active T cells in patients, thus aiding in recuperation, healing and strengthening of the immune system.
Improves endurance and workload capacity. Allows for greater aerobic and anaerobic performance, as well as shorter recovery time between training sessions.

We have just scratched the surface about the wonders of colostrum. It will help mankind for many decades to come, in providing us optimal health. Whether you’ve heard of it or not, the health benefits of colostrum are so numerous and versatile that everyone can benefit from using it in their daily life.
