Today we’re going to talk about an extremely powerful natural remedy for inflammation: colostrum.
Colostrum may be beneficial when dealing with certain conditions, such as:
• Inflammation
• Autoimmune diseases
• Gut inflammatory conditions
• Arthritis
• Skin issues related to inflammation
Health benefits of colostrum:
• It helps with gut permeability
• It helps support the immune system
• It may help improve gut damage
• It has been shown to improve muscle growth
• It may help repair the thymus gland
• It has been shown to increase T cells and natural killer cells, which may help prevent cancer and attack viruses
• It increases macrophages, which provide a barrier to protect against pathogens
• It’s high in fat, protein, and immunoglobulins
• It’s very anti-inflammatory
• It helps develop duodenal villi to help prevent malabsorption
• It’s rich in friendly bacteria
Colostrum is the first milk that a mother gives an infant when they’re breastfed. Certain studies have shown a dramatic difference in long-term health between infants given breast milk and those given infant formula.
Colostrum contains many different beneficial nutrients and provides the only natural source of two things:
1. Transforming growth factor alpha-beta
This can greatly help regulate the immune system and support tissue repair.
2. Insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2
This has been found to reverse age-related atrophy of the thymus gland.
Breastfeeding is incredibly important. But, if you’re older, you can still get the benefits of colostrum by taking it as a supplement.
Supplements from goats may be a better choice than from cows, if possible. It’s important to first take colostrum in very small amounts and gradually increase the dose until you reach the dose listed on the bottle.
