VESTIGE COLOSTRUM
VESTIGE COLOSTRUM
Colostrum is a rich natural source of immunoglobulins that
helps in strengthening the immune system and provides protection against
various diseases. Collected within the first 6 hours after a calf’s birth,
Colostrum is a rich source of nutrients, antibodies, and growth factors. It is
a complete formula of essential vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and
amino acids required for the optimal functioning of the body and maintaining
overall health. The immune factors and antibodies in Colostrum also helps to
fight a variety of organisms, allergens and toxins that harm the body. Each 404
mg capsule contains Colostrum (Gau-Piyush) 400 mg Sodium Benzoate 4 mg
BENEFITS
Colostrum is the first milk that mammals, including humans,
produce. Production begins late in pregnancy and continues for the first few
days after birth. Manufacturers can also synthesize bovine (cow) colostrum as a
supplement for adults and newborns. One 2015 study suggests
that some adults take colostrum supplements to support their immune system or
attain other health benefits.
Although a limited body of emerging evidence suggests that
these supplements may offer some benefits, few well-designed studies have fully
tested the benefits of colostrum supplements. According to a review in the
journal Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science, colostrum is very
rich in some nutrients, including antibodies that help support the baby’s
immune system. Furthermore, a 2017 study suggests
that bovine colostrum supplements may improve a preterm baby’s health if they
cannot breastfeed.
In this article, learn more about the potential health
benefits of colostrum supplements.
Colostrum supplements can be beneficial for both newborns
and adults.
Colostrum supplements contain many nutrients that could have added health benefits for adults and help support a baby in their first few days of life.
Lactoferrin:- Lactoferrin
is a protein that helps bind iron. It plays an important role in immune
function and has antimicrobial and antiviral characteristics.
A 2014 review supports this. It describes
one study that found that bovine lactoferrin reinforced the immune system in
healthy human volunteers and increased their antioxidant levels.
Growth factors
Colostrum contains a number of growth factors, with the
two major ones being transforming growth factors alpha and beta. It also
contains insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2, which play important roles in
muscle and cartilage repair.
For this reason, an increasing number of athletes are
taking colostrum supplements to reduce their recovery time. However, more
research is necessary to determine the effectiveness of colostrum
supplementation.
Antibodies
Colostrum contains a wide variety of antibodies, including
those that help prevent bacterial infections of the digestive system. Much like
human colostrum, bovine colostrum contains a lot of immunoglobulins that pass
on passive immunity to the calf.
According to a 2019 review, research is
still ongoing to determine whether or not scientists can fully harness the
immunity benefits of bovine colostrum for humans.
Hormones
Colostrum contains many hormones, but researchers do not fully
understand the effect that each one has on the body. However, some may
influence early maturation of the lining of the stomach.
Researchers have consistently documented the health benefits
of newborns consuming colostrum.
These benefits include:
- Encouraging breastfeeding: Babies who consume colostrum shortly after birth are more likely to breastfeed, and their mothers are more likely to produce breast milk. A 2018 study also found that early skin-to-skin contact and colostrum exposure encouraged breastfeeding in very preterm babies.
- Preventing failure to thrive: In babies with a low birth weight, receiving colostrum either from the mother or as a bovine supplement from formula may support healthy weight gain and prevent failure to thrive.
- Achieving feeding goals: A 2020 review states that preterm babies who received an oropharyngeal administration of their mother’s colostrum were released from the hospital sooner and met their feeding goals quicker than babies who did not.
- Supporting early nutrition: Colostrum is a baby’s first food, providing hydration, protein, and important nutrients immediately after birth.
A 2018 study in
infant macaques, which are a type of monkey, found that supplements of bovine
colostrum helped improve bone mineral density.
Researchers have not yet tested this claim in humans.
However, if humans experience similar benefits, bovine colostrum may help
improve bone health in infants whose bones are not developing at a healthy
rate.
Colostrum benefits for adults
In recent years, some adults have tried using colostrum as a
supplement. For example, doctors may suggest colostrum to treat a number of
gastrointestinal conditions, including:
stomach injuries related to the overuse of nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs
infections with Helicobacter pylori, which are
bacteria linked to stomach ulcers
infectious diarrhea
As with many other supplements, researchers have not
thoroughly tested all the benefits that proponents of colostrum claim to exist.
So, although there could be other health benefits associated
with colostrum, strong, placebo-controlled trials do not yet support taking
these supplements for other conditions.
This may change with more studies.
According to one 2018 review, colostrum may have a beneficial
effect on the skin. Some studies have even suggested that bovine colostrum may
speed up the wound healing process.
However, most evidence is anecdotal, and more research is
necessary to support these claims.
How is colostrum made?
The body produces colostrum shortly after giving birth.
Colostrum lasts for 2–4 days after the
start of lactation.
It is a thick, highly concentrated milk that may be clear,
yellow, or white. It can look or feel sticky. Rather than offering lots
of calories or fat, colostrum helps enhance
the development of a baby’s immune system in the earliest days of life.
Bovine colostrum is a substitute for human colostrum. Some
supplement manufacturers add bovine colostrum to baby formula or synthesize it
as capsules or powder.
Is it dairy-free?
Colostrum is not milk, and it does not contain lactose.
Therefore, it is safe for people who are lactose intolerant. However, it is possible to have other
allergies to colostrum.
Colostrum comes only from mammals. It is an animal product,
but consuming it does not require the death of the animal. Nonetheless, this
makes it unsuitable for vegans.
There is no synthetic form of colostrum, and no supplement has fully synthesized all of the nutrients it contains.
