ANTI AGING
ANTI-AGING BENEFITS
- Colostrum contains insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2), transforming growth factors (TGF-alpha and TGF-beta), and epithelial growth factor (EGF) that slow down the effects of aging at the cellular level.
- Colostrum contains many essential and non-essential amino acids. These amino acids stimulate the body’s anabolic drive to slow down muscle degradation and help build new muscle tissue.
- The proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) in colostrum enhance the body’s defense against oxidative stress, reducing the inflammatory processes that precede Alzheimer’s disease.
- Colostrum has been shown to help individuals boost satiety, optimize lean body mass, and modulate glucose homeostasis.
- Colostrum is a natural and healthy means of stimulating the brain to release serotonin and dopamine and prolong their re-uptake. Colostrum also activates the release of other chemicals in the brain that affect alertness and concentration.
- Colostrum has been shown to help reduce or eliminate the appearance of liver/age spots and provides an individual with more youthful and vibrant skin.
- Colostrum may even help an individual improve and restore sexual function.
- Bovine colostrum contains many components that inhibit the effects of aging and can help a person increase bone density, muscle tone, skin elasticity, and repair of DNA and RNA. Thus, colostrum offers a viable alternative to many costly, time-intensive anti-aging treatments.
- Colostrum works naturally to both replace the body’s own growth factors and stimulate the endocrine system to keep producing these vital and revitalizing hormones. There is solid evidence that the growth factors and immune-boosting agents act synergistically in colostrum to form a potent anti-aging substance.

Abstract
Background
This study examined the effects of bovine colostrum on exercise –induced modulation of antioxidant parameters in skeletal muscle in mice. Adult male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups (control, colostrum alone, exercise and exercise with colostrum) and each group had three subgroups (day 0, 21 and 42). Colostrum groups of mice were given a daily oral supplement of 50 mg/kg body weight of bovine colostrum and the exercise group of mice were made to exercise on the treadmill for 30 minutes per day. Total antioxidants, lipid hydroperoxides, xanthine oxidase and super oxide dismutase level was assayed from the homogenate of hind limb skeletal muscle.
Results
Exercise—induced a significant oxidative stress in skeletal muscles as evidenced by the elevated lipid hydroperoxides and xanthine oxidase levels. There was a significant decrease in skeletal muscle total antioxidants and superoxide dismutase levels. Daily colostrum supplement significantly reduced the lipid hydroperoxides and xanthine oxidase enzyme level and increased the total antioxidant levels in the leg muscle.
Conclusion
Thus, the findings of this study showed that daily bovine colostrum supplementation was beneficial to skeletal muscle to reduce the oxidant-induced damage during muscular exercise.
