Abstract

Traditional foods of India are called as ‘Functional Foods’ because they contain components such as body healing components, dietary fibres and growth promoters. Colostrum is the first secretion from mammary gland of an animal after parturition, which contains high amount of many nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, minerals and biologically active substances like immunoglobulins, enzymes, hormones and growth factors. This physicochemical composition makes it highly useful food substance as nutraceuticals to promote growth and increase performance of athletes. Immunological and physiological considerations of bovine colostrum can be exploited more to explore their uses to its full potency and should be easy to use. Indigenous method of preparation of colostrum-based food products differs in various parts of India; accordingly, the composition may also vary. Two main growth factors namely, TGFα and TGFβ and IGF1 and IGF2 has significant muscle and cartilage regeneration, so colostrum proves to be an ideal regenerative material for growth of body cells.
