Athletes received either a placebo or bovine colostrum for 14 days before beginning standardized exercise. Data showed that after exercise, intestinal permeability increased 2.5 times in the placebo group; this rise was cut by 80 percent in the bovine colostrum group.
The researchers argue that bovine colostrum’s reduction in gut permeability may prevent heat stroke and improve athletes’ performance.
