Here are four things that you should know about bovine colostrum and its benefits:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Bovine Colostrum Is Safe for Human Consumption.<\/h2>\n<p>Colostrum is \u201cpre-milk,\u201d i.e. a food that is produced by mammalian mothers late in pregnancy and immediately after birth. Referred to as &#8220;life&#8217;s first food,&#8221; mothers give it to their newborns by virtue of breastfeeding shortly after their babies\u2019 birth. Colostrum production tapers off after about 72 hours as true milk emerges. Colostrum is important because it gives the newborn\u2019s immune system its foundation so the baby will thrive.<\/p>\n<p>It also promotes newborn growth and development. And with bovine colostrum supplements, both adults and children can enjoy a safe, non-allergenic, and nutritious addition to the diet.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Bovine Colostrum Contains Growth Factors.<\/h2>\n<p>Growth factors are found in colostrum and contribute to its overall nutritional value. These bioactive components promote cell and tissue growth and maturation and are found in extremely high concentrations in colostrum. Research has demonstrated that colostrum helps accelerate muscle recovery from exercise and injury, particularly in high caliber athletes. It also repairs and rejuvenates the cells that comprise muscle, skin, bone, cartilage, and nerve tissues.<\/p>\n<p>These qualities can empower people to help burn fat (in conjunction with an exercise program), build lean muscle (in conjunction with weight resistance training), and improve athletic performance. Incidentally, these are the same growth factors whose production steadily declines after puberty.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Bovine Colostrum Contains a High Concentration of Immune Factors.<\/h2>\n<p>Bovine colostrum can benefit all mammals, including humans. In fact, it contains roughly 30 to 40 times the amount of immune factors as human colostrum. How is this possible? Bovines (cows) produce colostrum for calves that are born without any immunity to airborne, disease-causing organisms. Therefore, a bovine mother&#8217;s colostrum includes a substantial amount of immune factors that promote a calf&#8217;s growth and development and will help the calf build up the necessary immunities to such organisms. Bovine colostrum is also loaded with minerals, nutrients, and vitamins that help a calf grow and develop properly.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Bovine Colostrum Helps Combat Leaky Gut<\/h2>\n<p>Leaky gut, commonly referred to as intestinal permeability, allows negative elements and toxins to seep through the intestinal wall. When this happens, undigested food particles and toxins enter the bloodstream which may have negative results for your health.<\/p>\n<p>Leaky gut has been linked to numerous health concerns.<\/p>\n<p>For those who are dealing with leaky gut, bovine colostrum contains growth factors that help repair tissue in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These growth factors help remediate a leaky gut, as well as support overall immune health.<\/p>\nThis article was brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/\">Sovereign Laboratories<\/a>, a world leader in the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/why-colostrum-ld-is-superior\/\">liposomal delivery<\/a> to maximize the bioavailability of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/shop\">dietary supplements<\/a>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine what it would be like if there was a natural food that could help you improve muscle strength and stamina, combat the negative effects of aging, and improve immune function\u2026 Thanks to bovine colostrum, you may be able to enjoy these benefits and many others.

After spending a considerable amount of time doing \u201call the right things\u201d without seeing any results, she decided to seek out the root cause of her health problems. Samantha was no stranger to the natural abilities of the human body. As a young athlete, Samantha first set goals for herself in team sports such as synchronized swimming, water polo, and field hockey. In high school, she focused on rowing, where she was a member of the St. Louis Rowing Club &amp; one of a team of eight young women who were ranked nationally. Samantha\u2019s perseverance to improve her health and her athletic ability created a career path as a Functional Diagnostics Practitioner. After receiving her B.A. in Sports Management &amp; Functional Movement from the University of Michigan in 2003, she decided to open her own holistic practice, See Fit. Today, she works with clients to identify the root cause instead of a \u201cband-aid\" approach. Using an individualized, holistic path, she incorporates lifestyle, diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and supplementation to help her clients achieve their ultimate health and wellness goals regardless of their current age, gender, and ability.","sameAs":["https:\/\/sovereignlaboratories.com"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1685,"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions\/1685"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sovereignlaboratories.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
