Below is an article on the positive effects
of insulin growth factor in bovine colostrum on the human brain.

It’s true isn’t it? We pretty much forget about our brains, most of the time. I know I do. And the various things that can go wrong with brains, well, in a word it’s frightening. Our brains don’t really like to think about it. And really, there is not much we can do for our brains anyway. Or is there? I found the following research to be most interesting and I think you will too.
Exciting new research indicates a link between colostrum and maintaining your memory as you age. Fox Business ran a story just a few days ago regarding research that is currently underway, showing a link between insulin, IGF-1, and Alzheimer's.
Here's the important part to note:"...insulin and its close relative, insulin-related growth factor 1 (IGF-1), (both present in bovine colostrum)* are also involved in the brain as growth factors that help to maintain neuronal health and synaptic plasticity, particularly in the hippocampus, the brain area involved in memory storage and the site of early damage in Alzheimer's Disease".
It goes on to say:"Blood levels of IGF-1, which easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, correlate with cognitive performance..." If that is true, using colostrum makes us think better! - yet another incredible benefit from using colostrum!
A study involving PRP from colostrum: Popik P, Galoch Z, Janusz M, et al. Cognitive effects of Colostral-Val nonapeptide in aged rats. Behav Brain Res. Jan2001;118(2):201-8. View AbstractThe researchers state “Colostrinin, a complex of polypeptides derived from sheep colostrum (and bovine colostrum)* retards the progress of Alzheimer's disease and facilitates acquisition and retrieval of spatial memory in aged rats…The present findings indicate that colostrinin-derived Nona peptide (existing in colostrum)* may delay the extinction of long-term memories.”Here we see the statement that a component isolated from colostrum, called Colostrinin, used alone may retard Alzheimer’s and may also improve memory. In the research cited by Fox Business, we see the that two other components found in colostrum, insulin and IGF-1, may also retard Alzheimer’s, and improve thinking ability.
What it all MeansThe exciting thing is that colostrum is rich in IGF-1, insulin, and Colostrinin, the three substances used in the studies above. In addition it contains many, many other healthful components in the proportions designed by Nature to synergistically work together for our health and well being, including Serotonin, the “feel good“ hormone. So when you take colostrum regularly, you're not only strengthening your immune system, shedding fat, feeding lean healthy muscle, and restoring homeostasis, you very well may be helping to prevent the onset of age-related brain dysfunction, as well as slowing the aging process itself.
To your health (and good memory!),
