Can colostrum help my rheumatoid arthritis?
Colostrum exhibits a number of beneficial effects on the immune system, including the ability to enhance it or modulate it, as the body requires. What this means is that bovine colostrum may help to regulate excessive and auto-immune type responses. One of the main components in colostrum that does this is Proline-rich Polypeptides (PRPs). PRPs can help to balance an overactive immune system and may help improve the symptoms of many auto-immune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. PRPs also have a powerful anti-inflammatory activity. In the New Image range of colostrum products “Cellworx®” has the most concentrated level of PRPs. These are not drugs and the recommendation of products and lifestyle changes are not intended to offer therapeutic cures. Individual results from the use of nutritional products may vary. It is advisable to discuss with a medical practitioner the use of these as nutritional support.
