Bovine colostrum is the milk of dairy cows within three days after calving, which is different from ordinary milk. Rich in immune factors and growth factors, it is known as "the king of immunity in 2 1 century". "At present, some studies have found that oral bovine colostrum products can improve immunity, improve gastrointestinal function, enhance physical fitness and restore sports performance, but these preliminary research results are still lack of scientific data support, and the specific side effects are still unclear." According to the analysis of experts in "Food Industry Market Research Report", in fact, it is understandable if bovine colostrum is only used as a health food for the infirm and sick, and it does have certain effects. However, many merchants advertised that "colostrum can promote the growth and development of infants and enhance their resistance" and added it to infant formula food, which was widely controversial from the beginning.
In addition, various hormones contained in bovine colostrum have also become the "culprit" of all previous bovine colostrum events. For example, the recent rumor that bovine colostrum caused precocious puberty pointed to the excessive hormone content in bovine colostrum.
Bovine colostrum is rich in various nutrients, which can enhance immunity, improve gastrointestinal tract and promote growth and development ... Known as "health food of 2 1 century" and "king of immunity of 2 1 century", it has always been the darling of infant formula milk products. Recently, however, the Ministry of Health issued a statement that since September 1 this year, bovine colostrum and dairy products made from bovine colostrum will no longer be added to infant formula foods. The former "king of immunity" officially bid farewell to the field of infant formula food after experiencing mixed controversy.
"Isn't it always' gold' in milk? Why is it suddenly banned? " "There is something wrong with milk. Now we can't trust bovine colostrum. What should our children do? " Many mothers are worried about their babies' health. The expert said that there is no data to show that oral colostrum has obvious adverse effects on infants, but it is prudent to eat as little as possible.
Bovine colostrum is not a traditional food, nor is it a necessary food for babies. Therefore, strict safety evaluation system is adopted for the raw materials of infant formula food, and it is allowed to be used only after it is included in the relevant standards of infant formula food. At present, bovine colostrum has not been included in infant formula food standards and related standards. It is not allowed to add bovine colostrum to infant formula internationally.
