You see a lot of people touting colostrum as some super IGF booster that some how will help release your HGH. Dr. Michael Colgan, world renowned nutrition expert had this to say about colostrums. “Oral bovine colostrum cannot work in adults for two reasons. First a polypeptide such as IGF, which consists of 67- amino acid chain, is slaughtered by the adult digestion. The information only gets though in newborns infants because their digestive systems have not yet kicked in. But after a day or two, the infant gut changes to a harsh acidity of 1.0, same as an adult. That is why colostrum stops flowing from the mother around day two.

“Second, bovine IGF is chemically different from human IGF. Even if it got passed digestion, your immune system would recognize it as foreign immediately, and attack and destroy it.”

“Finally, the meat industry spends millions on anabolic steroids and other synthetic drugs to promote lean mass in cattle. If the IGF in bovine colostrums grew muscle in cows don’t you think they would use it. They don’t because it doesn’t work. Selling bovine colostrum as an oral anabolic agent for athletes is the type of scrape-the-bottom-of-the-barrel scam that drags the whole nutrition industry down in the dirt.”

This is what Bill Phillips, best selling author and renowned supplement expert, had to say about colostrum in Sport Supplement Review, “This one of those supplements that actually makes me grin. If most people knew what this was, they wouldn’t go anywhere near it. If you’re not a newborn, your gut will destroy the active goodies in colostrum,”
