Anyone taking colostrum?

[pixiesmommy]

A friend recommended this for Pixie to help with her immune system and I wondered if anyone took it and if they could tell of improvement on it, and what kind/brand you take and where you buy it? I see Vitacost has some.

 

Thanks!

We have been taking this for about a year off and on. My sister sent it to me from a company out of california. My girls don't love the taste, so we have to disguise it and use it sparingly. We had been trying to use it every day, but they balked at it. When we first introduced it, they were 2 and 3 years old. Now, they are 3 and 5 and we can put it in chocolate milk and make it a treat. We give it whenever we see any illness come into the house and it has seemed to help our PANDAS daughter keep from showing phyisical signs of illness. I'm not positive this means she skipped the illness though. But her mood and other PANDAS symptoms do seem to stay constant even though other family members are ill. We do attribute it to the colostrum.

 

Ideally we would like her to take it every day. But with all the other stuff we make her take, we choose not to fight this battle. I would highly recommend it if you can get your child to take it. Also, since no one else in the family was taking it, my husband started taking it to keep himself healthy and he has been the healthiest of us all. His thought was if he could keep an illness out of the house for our PANDAS daughter, then so be it. We also attribute his health to the colostrum. It's pricey, but again, we have seen results without using it every single day.

Yes, we have been taking Transfer Factor for years and it's one supplement we can't be without. It's made from bovine colostrum. See earlier threads on Transfer Factor.

We used it on and off for a couple years, but we never could see that it was making any difference...so we stopped.
