For several reasons, human colostrum is not the right choice. Therefore, the researchers look for other sources. After a study of more than 10 years, the researchers believe that bovine (including the family grove cow) colostrum is one – the only safe alternative for human consumption. Not only because of growth and immune factors contained in bovine secretion of colostrum has identical resemblance to the human secretion of colostrum, but his immune factor 4x more. Moreover, bovine colostrum contains a glyco-proteins and protease inhibitors special, very effective to protect components – the active component in the secretion of colostrum from the digestive  system.
