We are into the start of cold and flu season and I know many people have concerns about their immune systems and what they can be doing. I want to focus on a particular formulation that can really do so much when it comes to bolstering up our immune defenses. Today, I want to talk about colostrum.†

The role of colostrum in the body

Many times, people have no idea what in the world colostrum is. When we think about why someone would be utilizing colostrum, we can cross multiple spectrums. It’s not just for the immune system.

We always refer to colostrum as “the first milk.” When mothers breastfeed, they are giving powerful immune-boosting components to the baby, including colostrum.†

When we think about colostrum, this is a complex biological liquid that has really powerful antimicrobial peptides, immune-regulating compounds and different growth factors. It helps to modulate our immune response, create balance within the intestinal microbial environment and enhance and repair different tissues in the body.†

The components of this nutrient

Most of the initial studies looking at lactoferrin coming from colostrum have been geared more toward virology, we know that it goes beyond that. We know that it can target bacteria. We know that it can be beneficial when it comes to different parasites. Anytime that we are utilizing something that’s coming from nature that can boost up our immune defenses, we know that we are on the right tract.†

The colostrum itself contains all of these different things. It contains protein, hence the lactoferrin. It has good, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals and all of these different things that help to enhance the innate and adaptive immune systems.†

It is sinusitis season again, with an estimated 30 million adults in the United States getting diagnosed with sinusitis. We recognize that this creates a lot of havoc when it comes to inactivity, loss of work and just feeling horrible. I want to talk a little bit about sinusitis today and look at the different nutrients that have been shown in clinical research studies to make a powerful impact when it comes to sinusitis.†

What causes sinusitis? 

Sinusitis is inflammation in the sinuses. There are many different symptoms that can come along with this issue. You can get throbbing facial pain. You can feel like you have pressure within the sinuses. You can develop headaches or a runny nose. This can even traverse into the ears and your ears can become plugged or painful.† 

Sinusitis itself generally resolves on its own. The majority of sinusitis is generally brought on because of a virus or a particular allergen. It can also be bacterial. Many times people will go to the doctor and get antibiotics, but we have to be able to differentiate between a bacterial sinusitis, which is not as common, and the overuse of antibiotics.†

Nutrients to promote open sinuses

There are a lot of different remedies for someone who is suffering from this issue. Certainly saline nasals such as neti pots are a good option. Just using the straight saline is the most advantageous way to target this.†

We also know that there are many different things that have been shown to be incredibly powerful when it comes to targeting the inflammation that occurs in those sinus cavities. We can look at things such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC). It can help to minimize the thickness of the mucus that plugs up your nasal passageways.†
