Colostrum - a lot of buzz, but why?

Colostrum has taken the health and wellness industry by storm and has been labeled a "necessity" in your daily routine/health stack, but what's the science behind these claims?

To better understand why so many companies are hyping this product up, let's look at the claimed benefits/what it actually is and see if colostrum is right for you:

Colostrum is the first form of milk produced by mammals, including humans, immediately following the birth of their young. It is secreted by the mammary glands during the initial few days postpartum, before the production of transitional and eventually mature milk. It’s commonly referred to as “liquid gold” because of the many health benefits it’s loaded with and the rich golden color.

Composition of Colostrum

Colostrum is rich in:

• Proteins: Including lactoferrin and growth factors.
• Vitamins and Minerals: Such as vitamins A, E, and zinc.
• Carbohydrates: Mostly in the form of lactose.
• Fats: Essential for energy.
• Enzymes and Hormones: That aid in digestion and overall development.
