When it comes to stimulating muscle protein synthesis, it is common knowledge that resistance training in conjunction with consuming adequate amounts of protein/amino acids (namely leucine) needs to take place. Over the years, the supplement industry has pioneered innovation in the protein powder space through offering unique combinations and types of proteins, from whey, casein, egg, plant based, etc. to tailor to every athlete who wishes to supplement their overall diet with a protein powder. Recently there have also been products being produced with the utilization of bioactive peptides/proteins with an overall goal of not only stimulating muscle protein synthesis but also to provide additional support for various other systems, like the immune, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Colostrum being a popular option for these products has shown promise in the benefits of immunity, supporting muscle growth, as well as increasing nutrient absorption, but it isn’t colostrum itself that is the star, it’s the immunoglobulins and other growth factors that colostrum contains where the true benefit lies.
