Introduction. The properties of colostrum were recognized and
investigated more thoroughly in the first half of the eighties, when
the immune factors and growth factors it contains were pointed out.
Numerous studies show that the administration of colostrum benefits
the subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus as it gradually regulates appetite,
improves utilization of nutrients, especially glucose, and leads
to a significant decrease in body fat. Materials and Methods. The following study is aimed at verifying
a possible reduction in the use of insulin in 27 subjects with type 2
diabetes, treated with goat colostrum in the form gastro-resistant tablets
of 300 mg (4/die). Results. In subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin, the
administration of colostrum has obtained a significant reduction of
insulin dosage and normalization of blood glucose levels.
Conclusions. The effects of colostrum are presumably linked to
increased levels of IGF-1 that improves the utilization of glucose,
stimulates glycogen and protein synthesis. Clin Ter 2013; 164(2):111-
