Lean Body Mass
Supplementation with bovine colostrum for eight weeks may help to increase bone-free lean body mass when combined with exercise training, according to this randomized, placebo controlled study conducted on healthy men and women. Subjects were given either placebo or bovine colostrum (20g/d powder), and were evaluated over a period of eight weeks, during which time subjects participated in aerobic and heavy-resistance training. After the test period, the colostrum group exhibited significant increases in bone-free lean body mass, as assessed by dual x-ray absorptiometry analysis. The placebo group did not experience such results.

Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Bovine colostrum may prevent the gastrointestinal damage inflicted by analgesics known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), according to the authors of this study. Colostrum was given to two separate groups to determine its effect on gut permeability - one group of healthy male volunteers and a second group consisting of patients taking NSAIDs for clinical reasons. The gut permeability of the control participants increased while those given colostrum saw no significant increase in permeability.
