In 1950, Dr. Albert Sabin, who developed the polio vaccine, found that bovine colostrum contained antibodies against polio virus and recommended it for children at risk for contracting polio. The same intelligent peptides and growth factors that enable newborns and babies to thrive also confer anti-aging effects to adults who consume BC regularly.

A traditional anti-aging food in Ayurveda, bovine colostrum, also known as “first milk,” is the rich golden fluid that sustains the life of all newborn mammals. BC is a source of growth and immune factors, complex polysaccharides, and smart peptides. And it just happens to be absolutely unique when compared to any other food you might consume.

“There is emerging evidence that bovine colostrum (BC) may be one of the promising nutraceuticals, which can prevent or mitigate various diseases in newborns and adults,” says Leo J. Philip Tharappel, writing in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine.

“Research has also shown that colostrum constituents from bovine (cow and buffalo) sources are 100-fold to 1,000-fold more potent than that of human colostrum. This means that even human infants can rely on cow or buffalo colostrum to gain health benefits.”

Here are 10 reasons why you want to make BC part of your daily anti-aging regimen and how it will help you to resist aging diseases, lose weight, strengthen your muscles and renew your skin.
