Bone Density and Colostrum
Crash-Proof Bones at age 64?
My hang gliding buddy Mike Kozeniewski is a no-nonsense type of guy, who is diplomatic enough when called for, but can be as direct as a fist in the teeth if he wants to get a message across, like trying to discourage me from launching in strong wind again. "You should be dead," he stated matter-of-factly after I crashed my hang glider last month, "You must have really good bones not to have broken any of them." My age possibly added some gravitas to that statement. It got me to thinking. I had seen research indicating that colostrum usage increases bone density and strength, and I thought it was true, but after the crash and Mike's comment I decided to look up the latest research on it, and in my opinion it strongly supports the belief that colostrum increases bone density and strength.
Below are the four clinical studies I found.
Effect of bovine colostrum protein on rat bone mineral density.
Effect of a Growth Protein-Colostrum Fraction on bone development in juvenile rats.
Colostrum is the pre-lacteal secretion of the mammary gland. It comes before milk and was your first meal. Colostrum for use as a dietary supplement for humans is harvested from dairy cows after the calf is given an amount adequate to ensure its health, strength, and vitality. Only colostrum harvested early after the cow has the calf provides all the benefit that colostrum is designed to. Synertek colostrum is harvested within 6 hours post calving and sets the standared for colostrum quality. For a stronger, more damage resistant body, order colostrum at www.synertekcolostrum.com.
