Generally, I administer bovine colostrum as an immune system boostee. Because I have a history of metastatic breast cancer, this nutritional supplement has become a part of my routine immune-boosting protocol. Any time I become exposed to a contagious patient or some other source of infection, I immediately increase my colostrum intake. Routinely I ingest four colostrum capsules per day for daily prophylaxis. But if I feel a scratchy throat or some type of GI distress coming on, I increase my dosage to two capsules every three hours up to 12 a day for a few days.
Colostrum is administered as powder and capsules.
For myself, it's mostly capsules that work best, but recently I've added the powder as well. American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene . British Medical Journal . Clinical Investigation . The cellular transfer of cutaneous hypersensitivity to tuberculin in man.
