Colostrum supplements for adults lack scientific evidence

independent.co.uk

Colostrum supplements marketed to adults lack robust scientific evidence for their claimed benefits, despite their established importance for newborns. While colostrum is vital for infant immunity and nutrition, adult digestive and immune systems differ significantly. Limited studies on adult colostrum show preliminary, context-specific results, not general wellness effects. The marketing of colostrum for "immune boosting" or "glowing skin" is not scientifically supported for healthy adults, with some benefits attributed to added ingredients like Vitamin D, which are widely available separately.
