    Default Colostrum for Adults - Gross or Good??

    So I'm cruising the supplement section of drugstore.com today (I love that site ) and I see one supplement made of colostrum from dairy cows and this is all the magic stuff it's supposed to do:

    Medical research shows colostrum helps:*
    • Support immune function
    • Burn fat rather than muscle for energy
    • Build lean muscle
    • Repair gastrointestinal damage
    • Promote healthy cellular growth
    • Increase strength and stamina
    In case you don't know, colostrum is the precursor to breastmilk that breastfeeding moms produce right after delivery, before real milk comes in. The only reason I know is I've done it...twice...and I know colostrum is fantastic for babies but is it gross and weird to take dairy cow colostrum as an adult?

    Well, being that the vast majority of human beings cannot properly digest cow milk enzymes...I don't see what the good is.

    cows milk colostrum? yikes.. not something i'd be willing to try. Human milk colostrum is much much MUCH more beneficial. Cows milk isnt all that great for us.

    plus it HAS to be so super processed that any sort of benefit was cooked out. but cow colostrum is so super fatty, now if it was something like goats milk colostrum, that'd be a little more believable since it's much closer to human milk than cows milk...but it would still have all the beneficial stuff cooked out

    Yeah, it says it's "minimally processed", whatever that means. I just wondered if it was worth getting over the initial ick factor for really amazing benefits.

    ^ Any kind of processing will kill all beneficial stuff.

    People are addicted to cow's milk. Just think, this milk is made to fatten up COWS...why would a human being think it's ok to drink this stuff and not gain weight...when that is exactly what the milk is designed to do...for cows?

    If you can get your hands on human colostrum...or goat colostrum, then it may be ok...but I would avoid cows milk/colostrum.
