Benefits of Colostrum-based Functional Food
Functional foods are enriched(fortified) with essential
nutrients; as consumer concerns about food and health have increased,
functional foods have become more common. Functional food products have a
metabolic benefit over dietary supplements in that they are delivered to the
consumer in a natural form rather than as a tablet or syrup.
Furthermore, rather than being used as medication,
functional food items may be eaten as part of a balanced diet. Colostrum-based
functional foods promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the human body,
and colostrum applications in functional foods, particularly beverages, are on
the rise. Nutrition factors, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and other
nutrients are all contained in colostrum-based functional foods.
