Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Beyond Human Bovine Colostrum.. yum!

I know this is more of a forum for expanding your mind, however since the mind and body work together, how can you heal the mind without the body?

I'm currently taking "New Life Colostrum", though I just started this weekend. I'm taking it to my week-long trip to Europe, and I'll experiment with it for a while.

Has anyobody used Colostrum for a while? If so, what brand did you take and in what form was it and what were your experiences?

I took it for a few months. Immediately after taking it (powder form, sub-lingually for higher absorption) I felt an elevated sense of well being. My hypoglycemic symptoms were reduced and I could think better. I've since stopped taking it because the brand I used is no longer available locally due to several health food stores closing. I tried a different brand but that did not have the same effect. I can't remember the manufacturer's name but I do know that it is the only one produced in New Zealand; over there , it is illegal to supplement cattle with growth hormones and antibiotics.

um.... : : Could somebody please enlighten me as to what this Colostrum stuff is??

Ok apparently due to recent events I'm not visiting London. However, my father is interested in Morocco (possibly only because of "Casablanca").

Anyway, the brand I'm taking from New Life Foods is produced in New Zealand and can be ordered via the web (thankfully).

So far the only effects I see, are increased energy, elevated mood, and clearer skin. One interesting side effect though, my hair and fingernails grow a bit faster.

Colostrum is essentially concentrated mothers milk. It's all the good stuff in real unrefined milk, bovine colostrum, as the name implies is derieved from cows. It's got isolated concentrations of growth factors (IGF-1) and such as well as immune supporters. You will see/feel no immediate effects unless your one such as myself being of the bodybuilder type. As you'll notice less of a catabolic/anti-anabolic effect post workout, and over the longer term, fuller muscles. To the average joe, there's little reason to take it.

If taken in capsule form on an empty stomach, it helps strengthen the immune system. I've been on this stuff for about a month and I have more energy, less allergies, and generally feel better than I have for the past year.
