Colostrum is the new Creatine

Athletes, and people concerned about their health and fitness are always looking for a new supplement to boost their performance. This is why sports drinks are popular, and the reason pills and potions at health food stores are a big hit.

Colostrum is the new health fad. It has been described as the new creatine. It looks like it provides a legal athletic advantage. Colostrum is basically mother's milk that is produced 72 hours after birth.
