It’s the most natural wonder of the world that a baby is born and gets their first food from the mother’s bosom.
We call it mother’s milk but as with all mammals, for a while after birth it’s exceptionally rich in colostrum.
Colostrum provides the very first boost to the baby’s immune system. The milk is a way of ensuring the digestive system is working and this is why babies are usually a few months old before the next stage of mashed soft solids.
Colostrum can be taken as a supplement later in life and is frequently and legally taken by many athletes. In its original form for the baby, it’s just about the most concentrated food stuff packed with anti-bodies.
This in adults has had a remarkable result in staving off flu. If we all took it then most of us would not need that once a year flu jab.
If asked what is colostrum most people would not know the answer. But the bovine version adults can buy is like the mother’s milk, low in fat by very high in protein.
It’s also helped people sort minor digestive problems like gut pains and diarrhoea. Packed with natural antibodies and nutrients it can many benefits that we may not even have explored fully.
Most of a person’s immune system exists within their guts. That early helping a new-born gets is vital to giving the child a better chance of fighting diseases.
Athletes put themselves through a lot of stress in their training and anything that helps to keep a strong immune system is a good thing. In fact, some gastroenterologist recently suggested that it may well be beneficial for soldiers particularly in the heat of the Middle East conflicts.
Whatever your beliefs, there is no question that this is one of nature’s finest products in terms of human well-being. As grown adults would probably end up in gaol if going for the original source, then the supplement is the safer bet.
