IgBioscience has always championed the cause of gut health, and that Immustem, our 100% pure organic colostrum, promotes gut health and strengthens the immune system.
The impact of colostrum on the gut is precisely what nature designed it for. It promotes the growth of a healthy microbiome, repairs damaged gut lining (the vector for many diseases – see recent blogs on the latest research suggesting cardiovascular disease and Parkinson’s begin in the gut ), and colostrum also has powerful antiviral, antibacterial and antipathogenic properties in the gut.
We have many testimonials from clients on how Immustem has improved gut disorders, particularly autoimmune related disorders.
Now, the BMJ is reporting how scientists are waking up to the role of the gut. A recent paper published in the BMJ points out the following:
“Microbes that reside in the human gut are key contributors to host metabolism and are considered potential sources of novel therapeutics…”
“A large number of recent papers and reviews have covered different aspects of the microbiome and its potential role in human health, including the early life(3–5) but also specific diseases, such as cardiometabolic disorders, inflammatory bowel diseases, neuropsychiatric diseases and cancer.(6–12)”
