Could colostrum powder be nature’s flu shot? The answer: yes. It’s only been in recent years that scientists have begun to study and understand the effects our lifestyles and diets have on our health, specifically our gut health.

As the majority of nutritional absorption occurs in the gut and this is what enables the body to fight off infection and disease, having a healthy gut is imperative to our overall health and well being. With nearly 80% of us experiencing some form of leaky gut syndrome, it appears we could all benefit from improvements to our lifestyle and diet choices. Luckily, scientists have started to uncover the symptoms, causes and solutions for leaky gut syndrome, including how some of these health issues relate to inflammation, immunity and gut health.

The most interesting research we have found is around bovine colostrum powder and its immune system boosting properties. A recent study showed that the group who took an oral colostrum supplement was 3x less likely to contract the flu than those that received the flu vaccine and that’s only a small piece of the fascinating research regarding colostrum health benefits! Did you know that 70% of serotonin (the happiness molecule) is made in the gut?
