Colostrum is the early milk produced by cows during the first several days after the calf's birth. The purpose of colostrum is to provide the calf with antibodies and nutrition that will aid in the fortification of the immune system. Studies performed on bovine colostrum have shown empirical evidence of aiding athletic performance. It appears that strength and muscle mass increases are the most evident results of bovine colostrum supplementation. Colostrum supplementation increases IGF-1 levels, peak anaerobic power and vertical jump, enhanced ventilatory system and cardiopulmonary processes by helping individuals work more efficiently.
