- Some individuals may experience a mild gastrointestinal distress or a bloated feeling, which can be avoided by lowering the dose.

5.0 Pharmacological Properties
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Bovine colostrum is a nutrient-rich fluid produced by cows in the first few days after giving birth. It’s packed with proteins, antibodies, and growth factors that help newborn calves thrive. For humans, bovine colostrum is often used in supplements due to its potential health benefits, such as boosting immunity, fighting infections, and promoting gut health.
This “early” milk has a nutrient profile and immunological composition significantly different from “mature” milk. In addition to macronutrients found in milk such as protein, carbohydrate, and fat, and micronutrients including vitamins and minerals, BC contain:
–Oligosaccharides,
–Growth factors,
– Antimicrobial compounds, &
– Immune-regulating constituents
either not present in milk or present in substantially lower concentrations.
Colostrum supports the human in two main ways.
1. Its multiple immune factors and natural antibiotics provide strong support for the immune system.
2.Its many growth factors offer a broad- spectrum boost to encourage optimum health and healing.
- The immunoglobulin, growth factors, antibodies play a role in prevention of infection that is in passive immunity.
- The vital nutrients help for tissue development, growth and energy.
- The growth factors present in the colostrum provide a novel treatment option for gastrointestinal conditions.
5.3 Pharmacokinetic properties
- Colostrum survives human GIT & works on mucosal surfaces: Bovine colostrum contains special glycoproteins and protease inhibitors which are extremely effective at protecting the destruction of colostrum’s active components (immunoglobulins and growth factors) by adult human digestive acids pancreatic enzymes and human stomach acids. This allows them to remain active as they pass into the bowel.
- The major benefit of immune factors from colostrum was shown to be their protective activity in the intestine on the walls of the bowel, and bronchials, (mucosal surfaces).
- The preservation of the biological activity of IgG (immunoglobulin) in the digestive secretions of adults receiving bovine immune colostrum orally indicates – passive enteral (intestinal) immunization for the prevention and treatment of acute intestinal diseases.
- Bovine colostrum has been shown to be safe, natural, effective & biologically transferable for human use.
