Top Medical Research Studies

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.

Colostrum outperforming flu vaccines
We evaluated whether a 2-month treatment with oral colostrum could prevent flu episodes better than traditional vaccination. Our study included various groups, with follow-up over three months.

We found that those without colostrum experienced three times more flu days. Specifically, the colostrum group had 13 flu episodes, while those who received both colostrum and vaccination had slightly more at 14.

In high-risk cardiovascular patients, colostrum proved more effective, with lower complication rates compared to those who were only vaccinated. Overall, colostrum appears to be a highly effective and cost-efficient alternative to flu vaccines.

Colostrum effectively prevents flu episodes
We evaluated how colostrum, combined with the immunomodulator Bifivir, stacks up against traditional flu vaccination. Participants were divided into four groups: no prevention, vaccination, vaccination with immunomodulators, and immunomodulators alone.

Our findings revealed that those using immunomodulators, either alone or with vaccines, experienced significantly fewer flu episodes compared to those who were unprotected or vaccinated. This suggests colostrum and Bifivir might offer a cost-effective alternative to flu shots, with much lower disease duration and healthcare costs. Importantly, we noted no side effects from the treatment regimen.

No flu since use
76 people found this helpful
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.

Quick flu recovery

A necessary item for every medicine cabinet. My acupuncturist advised me to take this to boost my immune system! It exceeded my expectations. I remained well as long as I used it. I caught the flu and took it four times daily, recovering in just three days.

Sinus infection relief
62 people found this helpful
Michelle from Fortuna, CA. A Chiropractor suggested Colostrum for my serious sinus infection that lingered for weeks. None of the antibiotics helped. I took it on an empty stomach for a week, and it was gone! Now, I take it at the first sign of a cold or flu, even using it for my cat’s severe sinus infection, which cleared in three days. I mix one capsule’s contents with a drop of water for her. Adult doses require two capsules. Take it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning for the best results.

Prevents flu effectively
14 people found this helpful
I take Colostrum daily, primarily before, during, and after cold season. I don’t notice any other significant benefits apart from improved immune health. Before Colostrum, I’d catch every cold that came my way at work, but now I’ve avoided three flus despite exposure. A friend highly recommended this, and I’m grateful I listened. It’s $22 at my health store, but a good deal at $15 on Amazon.
