Colostrum's immune impact on infants

Munblit D, Treneva M, Peroni DG, Colicino S, Chow LY, et al. Immune Components in Human Milk Are Associated with Early Infant Immunological Health Outcomes: A Prospective Three-Country Analysis. Nutrients. 2017;9. doi:10.3390/nu9060532

We investigated how immune components in colostrum and mature human milk affect infant health outcomes in their first year. In a large study with 398 women from the UK, Russia, and Italy, we found that higher levels of interleukin IL13 were linked to a lower risk of eczema and food allergies. Surprisingly, elevated levels of transforming growth factor β2 were associated with an increased risk of eczema. Additionally, a protective relationship was noted between hepatocyte growth factor and occurrences of the common cold.

Finally, a supplement that genuinely works. Whenever the topic of supplements arises, the sceptics come forward. I was always on the opposite end, wanting to believe in their benefits but was often disappointed. I've tried countless supplements, creams, and treatments without success. However, Colostrum seems effective. Previously, when I felt run down and didn’t sleep enough, I would almost always catch a cold. Now, that hasn’t been the case. It truly is remarkable. I assume it strengthens my immune system during low energy times and also while I sleep well. Others might not see the same results, but I certainly do. I initially started with the pricy Immune Tree powder, mixing half a teaspoon into my coffee daily. Now, I use the Now brand, emptying a capsule into my coffee every morning, and it appears to work.

Super product! I have a chronic cough due to mucus that has persisted for five years. From the very first dose, the cough stopped. I continue to take it and am hopeful about regaining my youth and health.

Colostrum enhances flu immunity

Uchida K, Hiruta N, Yamaguchi H, Yamashita K, Fujimura K, et al. Augmentation of cellular immunity and protection against influenza virus infection by bovine late colostrum in mice. Nutrition. 2012;28:442. doi:10.1016/j.nut.2011.07.021

We examined the impact of bovine late colostrum on the immune system to see if it helps fight off the flu. Our study involved mice, some receiving colostrum and others a control treatment. Results showed that colostrum boosted their immune response, particularly natural killer cells, which are key for fighting infections.

Notably, mice treated with colostrum had fewer flu symptoms compared to the control group. This suggests colostrum activates immune defenses not just systemically but also in the respiratory system, helping to reduce flu severity.

I’ve taken this product for over 12 years. The reason? I don’t get sick! No colds, no flu, nothing at all, even when exposed to others coughing around me. I take two 500mg capsules daily, and if I feel something starting, I double the dose until it’s gone. I used to get sick constantly at the gym but, thanks to Colostrum, I haven’t been ill since I discovered it over 12 years ago. I truly believe it boosts my immune system.

We examined how immune components in colostrum and mature human milk influence infant health, particularly regarding common colds and allergies. In a study involving 398 mothers across the UK, Russia, and Italy, we found that higher levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in milk might reduce common cold occurrences by one year of age.

However, while colostrum showed potential protective benefits against certain allergies, such as eczema, the overall benefits of colostrum on common cold were not significantly emphasized. Our findings suggest that the immune profile of human milk plays an essential role in early infant health, warranting further investigation.

Super effect! To be honest, I didn’t believe it at first, but on a friend's advice, I ordered it. I took two capsules twice a day. By the second day, I started to expel the remnants of my previous cold! It really works! This product has now become a staple in our first-aid kit.
