Why Are We Drinking Colostrum Made for Cows?

For months, everyone from your favorite wellness influencer to your most health-obsessed friend has been singing the praises of bovine colostrum. And yes, we get it. The benefits sound incredible: glowing skin, bulletproof immunity, that elusive "gut health" we're all chasing.

But here's the thing no one's talking about: cow colostrum was literally designed for baby cows.

Think about it. A newborn calf needs to gain 400 pounds in its first year. Its digestive system is built to process grass, not green juice. Its immune system needs to fight off completely different pathogens than yours. So why exactly are we treating bovine colostrum like it's the holy grail of human health?

Here's the kicker: 65% of adults are lactose intolerant. That means the majority of people drinking cow colostrum are actually triggering inflammation, not healing it. Rashes, acne, brain fog, bloating, allergies - sound familiar? Your body isn't being difficult; it's trying to tell you something.

"Just because it's trendy doesn't mean it's made for you."

The truth is, human colostrum and cow colostrum are about as similar as a Ferrari and a tractor. Sure, they both have engines, but you wouldn't take a tractor to a dinner date, would you?

Human colostrum contains the exact blend of immunoglobulins, growth factors, and proteins that your body actually recognizes and can use efficiently. It's like the difference between speaking your native language and trying to communicate through Google Translate - technically possible, but why settle for lost in translation when you can have perfect fluency?

The real question isn't whether colostrum works - it's whether you're giving your body what it was actually designed to receive. And after years of making do with the bovine version, maybe it's time to give your gut what it's been asking for all along.
