Bovine colostrum is available in health food shops and as a sports food supplement and is rich in antibodies and growth factors, including IGF-1. A study titled, “Oral bovine colostrum supplementation does not increase circulating insulin-like growth factor-1...

Today, we are excited to progress our coverage of the proven, health-boosting peptides within colostrum. We’ve recently addressed Bio-Active Peptides, and took a closer look at Proline-rich Polypeptides (PRP's), and Lactoferrin, which you can learn more about by...

In this week’s blog, we are continuing our exploration of the different peptides in colostrum. Two weeks ago, we discussed Bio-Active Peptides and last week we addressed proline-rich polypeptide (PRP's), the first peptide on our list of bioactive peptides in...

A feature of colostrum that helps differentiate its powerful effects from other proteins is the high concentration of proline-rich polypeptide (PRP's). These are small peptides that have a marked effect in initiating and balancing internal responses and cell signaling...

Darryn S. Willoughby, Ph.D., FACSM, FISSN, is an Associate Professor at Baylor University in Texas. In a recent publication, he covers the nitty gritty of bio-actives, many of which are found in Colostrum. We have summarized below for those readers interested in the...
