Have A Healthy Gut

Colostrum Benefits

  • Bovine colostrum is reported to stimulate the growth of intestinal cells, strengthen and repair the gut wall and prevent intestinal permeability. (4,5,6,7,8,9)
  • These beneficial effects are likely due to the many growth factors, such as IGF-1 within colostrum that are designed for cell repair.
  • Colostrum is reported to be beneficial in treating a range of intestinal problems such as diarrhoea(1)repairing damage from use of Anti-inflammatory medicines(4,7) help with Leaky Gut Syndrome and help the body with many consequential medical conditions from an unhealthy gut.

Colostrum is naturally meant to be consumed orally; with its antibodies designed to survive the harsh journey through the digestive tract. (3).

Our gut contains on average: 40,000 bacterial species and 100 trillion microbial cells. Most of them are in your intestines, but they thrive all around your body and bloodstream.

The microbes we live with, particularly those in our guts, play a role in human health and well-being, as well as influencing the brain, neurological function, and actions. Beneficial bacteria in our microbiome can aid in the fight against infection anywhere in the body.

A Damaged Gut effects your Health

When the balance of these microbes gets out of balance due to antibiotics, age, lifestyle, or diet, your gut’s health gets compromised. This can lead to various conditions including IBS, bloating, leaky gut, constipation and more.

Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause damage to the gut lining. Lab studies have shown that colostrum may be of value for the treatment of ulcerative conditions of the bowel(4,7)

Gut health has even been linked to our mental well-being. Check out any of Dr Giulia Enders charming TED talks to discover more.

Colostrum Can Help Your Gut Heal

Fortunately, mother nature provides us with potentially a means to reverse the damage and help our gut heal. One of the best on offer is colostrum.

Colostrum is the first milk provided by mammals, including humans, and is a superfood for our gut biome. We can get colostrum from our mother when we’re first born, but once we’re adults we can turn to a different source.

Bovine colostrum (cow colostrum) is very similar to human colostrum. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, disease-fighting proteins, growth hormones, and digestive enzymes.

Studies suggest that colostrum components, immunoglobulin and growth factor benefits physically active person and in treatment of autoimmune disorders. It is used for the treatment of a wide variety of gastrointestinal conditions…(1)

Many traditional cultures have a long history of consuming a portion of the colostrum produced when a dairy animal gives birth. Recent studies confirm that taking bovine colostrum supplements can boost immunity, combat disease, and enhance gut health in adults.(1)

Bovine colostrum has been shown to be useful to treat inflammation of your gastro intestinal tract caused by antibiotics, chronic steroid use (as treatment for arthritis or skin conditions). It promotes intestinal cell development, reinforces the gut wall, has been reported to reduce the gut permeability levels. (7)

Healing Leaky Gut

The growth factors in colostrum are said to be important for reversing intestinal permeability. They are said to promote the stimulation of cell proliferation and wound healing, which may help to strengthen the gut lining and improves its integrity.

Overall, bovine colostrum is one of the best supplements to help with gut health.

SGD Bio Colostrum is superior to many others on the market.
