colostrum?? Anyone use this?

[mark86]

Does this work? I bought some raw milk and amazingly I dont get bloated anymore. Ive only had it a week but the colustrum seems even more beneficial?

Whats it taste like? Its expensive as hell. Like $64 for 1 gallon! Any thoughts?

A lot of supplement people throw around the word colostrum(sp) but the exact defanition gets a little hazy

I believe colostrum is only produced during initial lactation and is full of growth hormones etc looked into it myself a while back

The problem is when you buy the supplement your probaly getting powdered milk

If you get human colostrum that would be great or even better the placenta that would probaly have the perfect amino profile for growth

I think most supplements are low grade especially colostrum the real stuff is just to expensive so its not going to be in whatever they send you So just buy some steaks

COLOSTRUM

Most products that I know of (especially the overpriced Muscle Milk protein) claim to contain colustrum from bovines. "raises your GH, contains IGF fractions" blah blah blah

Then they go on to quote studies how "colustrum is in the milk of pregnant COWS, and when the newborn calfs drink it they gained double their bodyweight in a matter of days with NO EXCERCISE!!"

This may be true. What they dont tell you is a couple important facts.

1) Cattle colostrum has a different chemical makeup than human colostrum. It will not work in humans because of this fact! (just like BresaGen horse GH wont work in humans either!)

2) When baby calves first drink their mothers milk after being born they have no stomach (or finished digestive system). This allows the colostrum to get absorbed immediately. After the first 3 days the calves stomach is fully grown and now working to digest its food.

Likewise the mother COW's milk no longer contains Colostrum . Why you ask? Because GOD made it that way!! AND because digestive enzymes in the stomach will break down the colostrum and render it useless before it can be absorbed and used! Mother nature really does know best.

So even if you could find real HUMAN Colostrum (which I doubt anyone could because you'd have to milk lots of fat preggo women), your stomach would break it down before it could get anywhere and affect any muscles or tissues.



So to answer your Q, colostrum is JUNK. Now.... Just think what you could have done with all the extra $$ you spent in the past 3 years on Muscle Milk.....
