Colostrum contains proline-rich peptides (PRPs) that can bidirectionally modulate the immune system.

◐Partially SupportedIncluding some colostrum in the diet may be beneficial for humans.

◐Partially SupportedColostrum brands should share Certificates of Analysis (COAs) to demonstrate testing for contaminants.

◐Partially SupportedColostrum should ideally be packaged in glass to avoid microplastics and nanoplastics.

◐Partially SupportedColostrum contains lipids like sphingomyelin and gangliosides, and sialic acid, which are beneficial for brain health and neuroprotection.

◐Partially SupportedWhole colostrum with intact fat is important for delivering its full benefits, including gut protection, immune modulation, and neurological protection.

◐Partially SupportedWhen purchasing colostrum, it is important to ensure that the baby cows receive adequate amounts, and that the product contains only the surplus.

✕Not SupportedDefatted colostrum, which has had the milk fat globule membrane removed, results in the loss of fat-soluble nutrients and makes peptide and immunoglobulin components more susceptible to degradation.

◐Partially SupportedGrowth factors in colostrum, such as IGF-1, TGF-alpha, and TGF-beta, can help repair leaky gut.
