Colostrum Benefits To Health

Colostrum is the first milk produced by the cow after giving birth. Colostrum is produced does not last long; generated only for the needs of newborns to meet the needs of essential nutrients, antibodies, and others.

Colostrum has been used by adults since more than a hundred knows ago. Even more than 1,000 clinical studies have stated that colostrum has been proven safe and effective for clinical conditions, such as viruses, allergies and auto immune / lupus, heart disease, cancer, weight loss programs, athletic stress, leaking intestine syndrome, wound healing and repair muscle and growth factors.

 

There are two major groups of the most important benefits of colostrum, namely: immune modulators and growth factors.

 

 

First, Modulators of Immunity

Immuglobin (A, D, E, G and M) are immune factors found to be most abundant in the colostrum. Immuglobin G (IgG) neutralizes toxins and microbes in the lymph and circulatory systems, function IgM destroys bacteria while IgE and IgD very antiviral. Other deposits are Lactoferrin. Lactoferin is antiviral, anti-bacterial anti-inflammatory, protein, iron binds with therapeutic effects in cancer, HIV, cytomegalovirus, herpes, chronic fatigue syndrome, Candida albicans and other infections. Lactoferin helps deprive bacteria of iron they require to reproduce and releases iron into the red blood cells increases tissue oxygenation. The role of immunity Lactoferin underscored by the fact that Lactoferin receptors have been found on immune cells, including lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and platelets.

Proline-Rich Polypeptide (PRP) can also be found in the colostrum, and is the hormone that regulates the thymus gland, stimulating the immune system to remain active or lower-body's immune system is too active. The function of this down-regulation may be beneficial in autoimmune diseases, such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, etc..

Approximately 75% of the antibodies in the body is produced by the GI component of the immune system. The ability of people with AIDS / HIV to fight infectious diseases that are threatened by and partly due to damage from chronic inflammation of the intestine and diarrhea. Several studies have recently reported the role of colostrum in the reversal of this chronic problem comes from opportunistic infections such as Candida albicans, Cryptosporidia, antiviral, herpes simplex, pathogenic strains of E. coli and intestinal flu infection. All intestinal pathogens handled well by colostrum without side effects.

Allergies and Autoimmune Diseases

PRP from colostrum can work as a regulatory substance of the thymus gland. Has been shown to improve or relieve symptoms of both allergies and autoimmune diseases (MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and myasthenia gravis). PRP inhibits the overproduction of lymphocytes and T-cells and reduces the major symptoms of allergies and autoimmune disease: pain, swelling and inflammation.

Immunity Heart Disease Reversal

Reversal of Heart Disease Immunity can be a hidden cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. For example, the type of Chlamydia has been associated with plaque formation in the arteries is more than 79% of patients with heart disease. In addition, research has shown that heart disease can involve sensitization immune to cardiac antigens. This means that the immune system can attack the heart tissue. Colostrum PRP may have a role in reversing heart disease very much, as is the case with allergies and autoimmune diseases. In addition, IGF1 and GH in colostrum can lower LDL-cholesterol while raising HDL-cholesterol concentrations. Colostrum growth factors promote repair and regeneration of cardiac muscle and the regeneration of new blood vessels for collateral coronary circulation.

Cancer

Benefits of cytokines in cancer treatment was first popularized by the 1985 Steven Rosenberg Book, calm Progress in War on Cancer. Since then, the same cytokines found in colostrum (Interleukins 1, 6, 10, Interferon G and lymphokines) protocol has become one of the most widely studied in scientific research for a cure for cancer. Colostrum Lactalbumin has been found to cause selective death (papooses) of cancer cells, leaving the surrounding non-cancerous tissues unaffected. Lactoferrin has been reported to have anti-cancer activity. Mix of immune and growth factors in colostrum can inhibit the spread of cancer cells. If a virus is involved either in the initiation or spread of cancer, colostrum could prove to be one of the best ways to prevent disease in the first place.

Second, the growth factor

Growth factors found in colostrum include epithelial growth factor (EGF), insulin-like growth factor-I and II (IGF-1 and IGF-II), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) , Transforming growth factors A & B (TGA and B), and growth hormone (GH). These all help stimulate cell and tissue growth by stimulating DNA formation. (21) Obviously, this can be a benefit for athletes and others. Some studies suggest that this growth factor can increase T-cell production, accelerating healing, balancing blood glucose, reduce the need for insulin need, increasing growth and repair of muscle and bone metabolism including fat for fuel.

Leaky Gut Syndrome

One of the main benefits of colostrum supplementation increases efficiency due to the large intestinal immune enhancers that control infection clinical and sub-clinical GI. Colostrum growth factors also play a role by keeping the intestinal mucosa sealed and impermeable to toxins. This is evidenced by the ability of colostrum to control chronic diarrhea caused by intestinal inflammation associated with dysbiosis. Healing leaky gut syndrome reduces toxic load and assist in the recovery of a variety of allergic and autoimmune conditions. For a healthy individual or an athlete in training, colostrum supplements increase the efficiency of amino acid and carbohydrate fuel uptake by the intestine. More nutrients are made available to the muscle cells and other vital tissues and organs. One of the reasons for the energy boost seen in most healthy individuals who use colostrum as a dietary supplement is this ability of colostrum to improve nutrient availability and correction of sub clinical leaky gut syndrome. Research has shown that colostrum contains growth factors that help prevent and cure the adverse effects of anti-inflammatory non-steroidal (eg, aspirin, ibuprofen) from the gut.

Healing Wounds

Some components of colostrum stimulate wound healing. Nucleotide, EGF, TGF and IGF-1 stimulate skin growth, cell growth and repair dengaon direct action on DNA and RNA. These growth factors facilitate the healing of tissues damaged by injury, trauma, burns, surgery or inflammatory disease.

Conclusion

Colostrum many potential clinical applications. Correct dosage level is 1000-2000 mg twice daily, taken on an empty stomach with 8-12 ounces of water. If necessary, the dose can safely be doubled or even tripled if necessary to obtain the desired results. Children can also take colostrum but require proportionately less. Sometimes, Herxheimer reactions (mainly flu symptoms) can occur in individuals who use high doses of colostrum. However, these reactions are usually mild and disappear by itself in the use of the same dose level. For hundreds of years of use and more than 1,000 clinical studies, colostrum has been proven completely safe with no drug interactions or side effects at any level of consumption.
