"BOVINE COLOSTRUM HAS IMMUNO-BOOSTING EFFECTS IN ATHLETES
When it comes to protein supplements there are many choices, but you may want to consider including small amounts of colostrum to your daily protein plan. Colostrom is a fluid produced by mothers that contains a host of nutrients that protect and nourish her new born. Among these nutrients are various immune factors, growth factors, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, lipids, and enzymes. The application for promoting a healthy environment for optimal recovery in athletes is tremendous. A recent study assessed the effects of bovine colostrom supplementation on immune function in trained athletes. Trained cyclists were provided 10 g of bovine colostrum for 10 weeks while undergoing intense cycling training. Blood samples were collected and a time trial performance test performed before and after supplementation. Several markers of immune status including several immunoglobins improved after colostrums supplementation compared to placebo. The colostrums group also had 50% fewer incidences of upper respiratory tract infections, and exercise performance was improved as well. The results provide evidence that relatively small amounts of colostrums can provide a significant immuno-boosting effect in athletes undergoing intense training.
