| The mechanism and efficacy of colostrum as a supplement for any purpose is
unclear. It is generally considered safe, however the safety has not be
studied in an organized way. More research is needed to determine if
colostrum has true benefit in humans.
The most promising possible uses for colostrum include:
-Providnig some level of passive immunity against gastrointestinal
illnesses (may be more true of hypercholostrum)
-Lessening the effects of NSAID medications (ibubrofen, aspirin,
naproxen, indomethacin ) on the gastrointestinal tract
-Providining small increases in performance in elite level athletes
Colostrum most likely does not:
-Promote anabolic increases in muscle mass
-Dramatically increase the levels of growth factors in the blood
