By Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith

Now, scientists are learning that colostrum can have huge health benefits for the heart. This article discusses what current knowledge is known about the effects of routine dietary supplement of bovine colostrum, and what it can do for the heart muscle functioning and physiology.

Growth Hormone IGF-1

Bovine colostrum contains growth hormone that works in conjunction with IGF-1 to assist in the functioning as well as repairing of the heart muscle. Growth hormone and IGF-1 have receptors found on all heart muscle cells. Studies show growth hormone may act on the heart directly. IGF-1 may act indirectly on the heart or by separate hormonal pathways.

Research shows stimulatory effects come from both growth hormone and IGF-1on heart muscle cells. These stimulatory effects occur by a pathway of cells that use calcium. When congestive heart failure patients have been administered growth hormone, their clinical status and heart function improved.

It is true that colostrum and milk come from the same source, however they are fundamentally different. The fact is that colostrum and milk are two totally different substances. Colostrum comes first from the mother then milk comes second. There is a period of time when both milk and colostrum are mixed together. However, high quality colostrum has virtually no milk present. Bovine colostrum contains no cholesterol and can be used by patients with high triglycerides and high serum cholesterol. For this reason, those that have cholesterol problems should seek out the highest quality colostrum. - 17269
