The Basics Of Colostrum
Learn about the many ways colostrum can help you including with serious gut issues like diarrhea and SIBO.
Alternavita is the number one site for learning about colostrum and colostrum based drugs that are changing the future of drugs and food.
Blueberry Muffins
Nobody can resist the temptation of freshly baked blueberry muffins – the flavor of these is perfumed with citrus and allspice.
Low sugar. Substitute 3 tbsp. with stevia or just use 6 tbsp. cane sugar for a low sugar muffin that is still about 6 grams per serving.
Colostrum (also known as “first milk”) is the milk that mammals produce right before giving birth. It’s important for newborns to consume colostrum because the substance is packed with the mother’s antibodies, insulin-like growth factors, bioactive enzymes, fat and other vital nutrients that don’t exist in regular milk.
In other words, colostrum acts like an immunization for newborns.
What I wasn’t aware of until recently is the fact that colostrum is also available as a dietary supplement (albeit from cows and not humans), and that there are purported benefits associated with bovine colostrum supplementation, even among adults.
In this video, I’ll share with you the top health benefits of supplementing with bovine colostrum.

Remember, no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) of added sugar per day for women and 9 teaspoons (38 grams) for men. The AHA limits for children vary depending on their age and caloric needs, but range between 3-6 teaspoons (12 – 25 grams) per day. Children under two should have zero grams of sugar per day.

Endotoxemia
Endotoxins are a toxin that is present inside a bacterial cell and is released when the cell disintegrates. It is sometimes responsible for the characteristic symptoms of a disease, e.g., in botulism.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also known as lipoglycans and endotoxins, are large molecules consisting of a lipid and a polysaccharide composed of O-antigen, outer core and inner core joined by a covalent bond; they are found
in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
Endotoxemia is a critical component in the development of hemolytic uremic syndrome in a mouse model that closely mimics the condition in humans. Since this condition is caused by the ingestion of E. coli strains that express both a toxin (Shiga-like toxin 2) and LPS, oral administration of colostrum will treat and ameliorate the disease. Bovine colostrum ameliorates diarrhea in infection with diarrheogenic E. coli, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and E. coli expressing intimin and hemolysin it supports wound healing and also the regeneration of damaged intestinal mucosa.
*Traveler’s diarrhea is usually caused by Escherichia coli. Ac- cording to M. M. Levine (Travelers’ Diarrhea: Prospects for successful immune prophylaxis. Sand. J. Gastroentrol. 18:121-124, 1983, suppl. 84), this is the bacteria that causes 22-75% of the Travelers’ diarrhea cases that occur in 29-57% of the travelers to less-developed countries.
Mucosa-associated adherent, invasive Escherichia coli (E. coli), which are proinflammatory and resistant to killing by mucosal macrophages, may be associated with the pathogenesis of CD (Crohn’s Disease).
During malnutrition, endotoxemia impairs immune cell function leading to recurrent infections and accelerates the development of AIDS.

Antibodies against endotoxins are also contained in the natural spectrum of antibodies from bovine colostrum.
June 24 commentary
Bovine colostrum is widely considered safe and efficacious in treating diarrheal infection in humans, e.g., rotavirus, ETEC and enterohemorrhagic E. coli, including children. Antibodies in colostrum remain active in the intestinal tract.
Bovine colostrum ameliorates diarrhea in infection with diarrheogenic E. coli, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and E. coli expressing intimin and hemolysin it supports wound healing and also the regeneration of damaged intestinal mucosa. BCO (bovine colostrum oligosaccharide) dramatically reduced the cellular invasion and translocation of C. jejuni, in a concentration dependent manner.
Periodate treatment of the BCO prior to inhibition studies resulted in a loss of the anti-infective activity of the glycans suggesting a direct oligosaccharide-bacterial interaction. This was confirmed when the BCO completely prevented C. jejuni bind- ing.
