Diverse Immune Effects of Bovine Colostrum and Benefits in Human Health and Disease

The health benefits of bovine colostrum have extensively been studied, including immune effects mediated by immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and casein, as well as by certain growth factors. Some of these effects are not directly related to the absorption of proteins from the intestinal tract. The inge...
