Leave the colostrum for the babies! I’d rather try an alternative, seems unethical and surely colostrum is made in relation to what IT’S OWN baby needs and not a random adult

[irisk]

The thought of taking such precious nutrients from the mother that are meant for a newborn is kind of heartbreaking to me. Not to mention the efficacy is questionable. I'll just stick to retinoids and sunscreen, no crisis of conscience there.

Taking it from animals is so cruel 😢 it's the first time (sometimes the only time) the mother can feed her baby. I can't. Different level of abuse. I pray it won't become a thing in the future. Unless they find a way to make it in a lab or something

Colostrum is being marketed as primarily a digestive tract product that balances the gut biome, which in turn is good for skin hair nails joints and immune system. An updated version of collagen peptides.

As a veterinary technician, I know how important it is for newborn animals to get colostrum to help them thrive. Are animals being bred just for the colostrum to put in skin care? Sorry, but this bothers me. I appreciate you opening my eyes to this, Dr Dray. I didn't even know this was a thing. Thanks as always. Happy Wednesday! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💜

I take colostrum for gut health and it has helped a lot. Never occurred to me to use it for my skin 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the informative video, Dr. Dray. I think you should look into reaching out and speaking with Dr. Sarah Rahal on this topic- she’s a double board-certified adult and child neurologist, who *created* the Armra Colostrum product to help heal her internal issues. It would be nice to hear you both discuss exactly what you spoke about on this video.

I started taking Colostrum 2 years ago at the suggestion of my functional medicine practitioner. It has done absolutely nothing after all this time. I tried diff brands and dosages and took it religiously daily. What a waste of money.

[juliabinford]

I was horrified at the thought of colostrum…but then I realized that I consume milk and dairy🙂‍↕️ I guess it’s a moment of intellectual reckoning. I’m still not going to try colostrum, though.

[lalablotz]

OMG all these influencers pushing this crap. It just needs to stop. The thought of colostrum makes me nauseous 🤢

[zigscha]

Im not even a vegan or anything but can we just leave the poor animals alone. Absolutely no way that it’s worth the vanity.

[camhunts]

My hair dresser raves about colostrum for balding/thinning she had around her hairline. She swears by it. I never asked where it's taken from 😮

[reneklein]

OMG. What is next?? I nursed both of my girls, who are now adults, but the thought of consumming it now from an animal, truly makes me nauseous. Im vegan, so I would even dream of taking this supplement. Even if I wasn't, I physically couldn't take it internally. Between this and the AG1 greens, I can't listen to one more influencer rave about these products. Thank you so much, Dr Dray for presenting this video!!❤

Early breast milk with no doubt, it can be extremely beneficial for the babies no matter the species (human or animal). As most mothers say "colostrum is like providing not only food for my baby but also protecting it by gifting with an invisible shield (aka colostrum that has been shown to demonstrate such kind of properties)". Thank so much Doctor Andrea for the information it is really fascinating 😊❤.

[stacia]

Am I missing something or do the newborn animals actually need the same colostrum mammalian moms produce within the first 36 hours to maximize their newborn’s life expectancy? If we use it on our human faces, , do the animals not lose out on this super dense nutrient created specifically for them to thrive? Ironically, does that not perhaps negatively impact the mammal’ s overall nutritional value for humans who eat mammal meat as a major source of protein, vitamins and minerals? Maybe it’s created in the excess…?

Seems like a Creepy Fountain of Youth

[maggie]

Poor babies that are gonna go without this nutrition just so somebody can slather it on instead of ALL the other products that are available.

[surpriseitsus]

I would never steal an animals milk. How horrible to do this just for vanity. 😔

[davidshabas]

Happy Wednesday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️

[sarahsrappa]

I feel like we te back in Egypt at Cleopatra time.
WTH are u all taking. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮

[margieryne]

Can’t imagine using colostrum at all. Thank you again for great information!❤️
