Colostrum and Athletic Performance
Colostrum could be the most important natural substance to help athletes (from weekend warriors to professional athletes) achieve their desired results. Researchers at Numico Research in the Netherlands (2002) confirm that colostrum supplementation improves sport performance better than whey protein. A double-blind, placebo controlled study using 35 elite field hockey players, including players from the Dutch national team, showed that highly trained athletes supplemented with colostrum can achieve enhanced performance. The hockey players taking colostrum improved sprint performance significantly better than the whey group.9
Research shows that colostrum can help:
Increase strength and endurance
Build lean muscle mass
Burn body fat
Boost immune function, which typically dips after strenuous exercise
Shorten recovery time
Accelerate healing of injuries
