claimResults Compared to placebo, a greater fMLP-stimulated blood neutrophil oxidative burst was observed (~ 15% difference across timepoints) with bovine colostrum (trial, p Conclusion Acute bovine colostrum supplementation can modify innate immune responses to prolonged exercise, which may be due to components or metabolites of bovine colostrum that become bioavailable following consumption.
