Protein Supplement Bovine Colostrum

Bovine colostrum is the pre-milk fluid derived from the mammary glands of cattle for the duration of the initial twenty-four to forty-eight hours after having given birth. It is mostly obtainable as a nutritional supplement, due to the fact that there are only a small number of makers (dairy farms) that work with fresh bovine colostrum. Bovine colostrum has greater nutritional concentration and higher protein value as opposed to old-fashioned dairy milk. For example, bovine colostrum is higher up on the scale with respect to nutritional value than beef, fish, poultry, and soy. It positions itself in the same group as milk protein, casein, whey protein, and egg produce. Bovine colostrum has a relatively large concentration of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF), among other things, and anti-bacterial components not found in other sources of protein. These bio active complexes may strengthen the immune system if humans and inspire proper growth. For this reason, bovine colostrum has been presented as an exceptional source of superior protein, growth dynamics, and immune-enhancing complexes in more than a few food stuff products (protein supplements and baby formulas).[1][2][3][4]
