Bovine Colostrum
A substance called human growth hormone has shown some promise to help reverse follicle miniaturization (due to inflammatory type allergic response). A natural way to obtain human growth hormone (HGH) is from a substance called colostrum. Colostrum, derived from bovine origin (mother cows) is available in supplement form.
Bovine colostrum is "first milk" from a mother cow. This is a very potent powerhouse of pro-immunity substances. This ability to regulate immune system response, while providing a host of nutrients in perfect combinations is excellent for hair health and re-growth. Taking bovine colostrum is vital for immunological hair loss conditions. Colostrum boosts levels of human growth hormone, which has been shown to reverse graying hair and stimulate follicle growth.
Make sure to avoid brands that offer colostrum in "convenient forms," like chocolate, wafers, or lozenges. Take two or more grams (1000 mg per gram) per day, preferably one gram in the morning and one at night.
Colostrum is quite an extraordinary substance. It contains nutrients, enzymes, proteins, immunoglobulin (immune system protectant), and certain powerful growth stimulators such as the insulin-like growth factors (IGF). IGF peptides are closely related to the hormone somatotrophin, better known as human growth hormone, which is one of the most intriguing anti-aging substances.
Human growth hormone can stimulate hair growth on newly balding areas. Bovine colostrum contains a higher concentration of IGF-1 than human colostrum, and its structure is virtually identical. The amino acid L-Arginine has also been shown to stimulate HGH, however bovine colostrum delivers it more directly.
Colostrum, is produced when a mother animal gives birth to its offspring, its mammary glands filter out of the blood the immune factors it has acquired through a lifetime of fighting disease-causing organisms. It then concentrates these factors into a special non-milk immune supporting fluid called colostrum. A mother animal produces true colostrum for only the first twenty-four hours after giving birth.
Aside from growth hormone, colostrum contains significant amounts of interlukin-10 (a strong inflammation inhibitory agent). Another substance called TgF-B, has an important suppressive effect on cytotoxic substances (toxins in cells), this also has a powerful anti-inflammatory function. Bovine colostrum has yet another anti-inflammatory substance PRP, which has the same ability to regulate activity of the immune system as hormones of the thymus gland. It activates an underactive immune system, helping it move into action against disease-causing organisms. Most importantly for hair, PRP also suppresses an overactive immune system.
The combination of a strong anti-inflammatory effect coupled with a suppression of allergic response of inflamed tissue and cells is a very potent treatment for hair loss.
As with the substance PRP, the immunoglobulins that colostrum contains may also be responsible for regulating allergic response.
Colostrum has only been available in supplement form since 1997. The make up of colostrum increases the uptake of amino acids into cells, quite vital for hair growth. It is the Insulin growth factor (IGF) in colostrum that increases transport of amino acids into cells. Human IGF-1 (hGH) and bovine IGF-1 differ by only three amino acids in the sixty-seven-amino acids chain that makes up the IGF-1 molecule. Because of this similarity, bovine IGF-1 is just as potent as the human form and most likely quite a bit safer than a synthesized hGH.
