Colostrum has a variety of benefits that include boosting the immune system, healing injuries, repairing nervous system damage and improving mood. It often used to treat leaky gut and inflammation and for killing fungi and bacteria.

In its natural state, colostrum is a fluid produced by the breasts of humans and other mammals in the days before milk sets in. It contains a high level of antibodies as well as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. In addition, science indicates that colostrum may boost metabolism and help fight cancer.
