Colostrum helps prevent Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
A 2003 study by the Health Sciences Department of the
University of South Australia suggests that taking concentrated bovine
colostrum supplements could reduce the incidence of upper respiratory
tract infections.
The study involved subjects being randomly allocated
to consume 60g/day of Colostrum for eight weeks, then examining their
occurrence of symptoms. Results from the first week were kept separate
from those from the last seven weeks.
The results showed that during the first week of
supplementation, there was no measurable difference in symptoms in the
proportion of subjects taking the supplement as opposed to those who
didn't. During the subsequent seven weeks, however, a much lower
percentage of the subjects taking Colostrum reported upper respiratory
infection related symptoms.
Symptom duration, however, did not differ. This
suggests that the immune benefits achieved by Colostrum can be very good
in terms of being a preventative, but that it does not have any measurable
effect on an infection once it has already taken hold. That is why it is
important to use Colostrum properly, as a preventative, and not depend on
it to cure illness.
These overall results of this research study show
that while Concentrated Bovine Colostrum doesn't take effect immediately,
it does have definite immune enhancing and infection preventing effects
when taken consistently, over an extended period of time.
