Myprotein Ultra Colostrum - 500G

Colostrum is the nourishing fluid produced by mammals as food for the newborn directly after birth. Our Ultra Colostrum is a bovine derived food supplement rich in a variety of biologically active proteins, immunoglobulins (IgG), vitamins, amino acids and other growth factors (IGF-1 & 2) that support the maintenance of lean tissue, as well as a stronger immune system. Ultra Colostrum is collected within the first 12 hours after birth on a year round basis. It is also freeze dried to ensure none of the essential nutrients are compromised whilst also providing a more bio-active powder. This thorough process ensures Ultra Colostrum is a fresher and more nutrient dense product when compared to lesser, spray dried colostrum collected over the first 48 hours after birth. Colostrum is one of the oldest and most exceptional foods that can be found in nature due to the dense combination of growth enhancing and immune supporting nutrients. Within the athletic population, several studies have shown colostrum to be a valuable tool in enhancing lean tissue growth, reducing body fat and enhancing performance. These benefits appear to be attributable to colostrums ability to enhance amino acid and carbohydrate uptake by the intestines as well as its potential to raise levels of some key growth factors, such as IGF-1 and 2. The high levels of IgG in colostrum have also been shown to provide extensive immune boosting properties which may prove essential for athletes pushing their body to the limits. Many athletes choose to supplement with colostrum during particularly heavy periods of training, this is due to the high levels of IgG which have been shown to increase nutrient absorption as a result of improving overall gut health. As a large amount of your immune system is supported by the digestive system, it is essential that you support gut health with antibodies such as IgG. Ultra Colostrum is standardised to 30% IgG. The only colostrum collected from the cow is excess and is only taken once the calf has received a full feed. The care of the infant is the producer’s foremost consideration, its needs always come first. The farms used for the collection of our colostrum are heavily monitored and governed by the local government and dairy industry.
