It used to be popular in bodybuilding, if I understand it correctly - then it was eclipsed by other stuff.
Anyways.... it's real popular with asian tourists to AU. For myself, dunno. I think it's a "maybe". Just like taking vitamins "may" help, or skin preparations may help, so to (in my view) colostrum may help. The question is... how likely is it to do anything?
I'd have to say that I've tried it, didn't really notice an effect, and suspect that it only helps build immunity to cow infections (themselves rare in humans). But I haven't done much reading much on it.
Probably the main reason I avoid it is that the source bothers me. I don't like to be reminded that it was meant for a baby calf. (Somehow I can put that out of my mind when drinking normal milk.)
