I am just finishing up a EQ & Test cycle and have been researching some possible alternatives to try as I transfer back into the natural training realm. I just wanted to know if anyone has heard of supplementing with "Bovine Colostrum"? My gym owner raves about the product which was actually designed for cattle to increase lbm. He trains our local junior hockey team and has seen muscle gains in indivduals of up to 10lbs in a few months. It is legal and apparently available at any vet store. I'm gonna try it for a few months and report my results. Here's a little more deatail on what it is and how it works :
What makes colostrum so beneficial?
There are over 90 known components in colostrum. The primary components, divided into two classes, are immune factors and growth factors. Colostrum also contains a precise balance of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. All of these factors work together in perfect synergy to restore and maintain health.
Colostrum’s Immune Factors
Immune Factors in colostrum have been shown to help the body fight off harmful invaders such as viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus. Each factor plays a specific role in our body’s defense against these attackers. In addition, colostrum contains over 20 antibodies to specific pathogens including E coli, salmonella, rotavirus, candida, streptococcus, staphylococcus, H pylori, and cryptosporidia.
In addition to immunoglobulins, medical studies show that PRP in colostrum also supports an under active immune system. PRP also helps balance an overactive immune system present in autoimmune diseases.
Colostrum’s Growth Factors
Growth Factors help build and restore bone, muscle, nerve tissue, connective tissue, skin and cartilage. These factors have also been shown to help increase lean muscle, help the body burn fat for fuel, and assist in wound healing. Growth factors have also been shown to help slow the signs of aging!
Colostrum's growth factors may:
Affect the brain’s mood regulating chemicals to brighten our moods. (serotonin & dopamine)
Assist in regeneration and improve normal growth of aged or injured muscle, bone, cartilage, skin collagen and nerve tissue.
Help burn fat for fuel instead of muscle tissue in times of fasting (diet), and build & retain lean muscle (non-diet).
Assist the internal regulation of blood glucose levels and "brain chemicals", supporting alertness and better concentration.
Support healing skin when applied topically
Repair our body’s precious RNA and DNA.
Other Beneficial Components
Vitamins and Minerals are nutrients that are essential for normal metabolism, growth and development. They act as coenzymes, enabling chemical process to take place throughout the body. Vitamins and minerals are indispensable for the maintenance of health.
Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are required for growth and development. Amino acids are divided into essential (not produced by the body) and nonessential (can be produced by the body).
