364: Immunoglobulin vs Colostrum Benefit...

Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS, Clinical Nutritionist
About this episode

Ever heard of immunoglobulins? While colostrum is experiencing a renaissance, you should seriously weigh the immunoglobulin supplement versus colostrum benefits.

Partly because colostrum is a LOWER potency option, that sometimes isn’t even standardized (depending on the brand) to guarantee how helpful it will be.

That said, immunoglobulins (aka. IgGs) can be incredibly helpful for things like leaky gut (gut permeability), histamine intolerance, recovering from a stomach bug or food poisoning, and supporting your immune system during cold + flu season.

Plus, I’m going to share why I prefer immunoglobulin supplements over colostrum, what the difference is between the two, and how to use them.

Also, I want to how you how to avoid the fake, over-hyped colostrum + immunoglobulin supplements found online (even on Amazon)!

Let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

  • How I learned about the amazing benefits of immunoglobulin supplement
  • Why you should use immunoglobulins
  • Difference between immunoglobulins and colostrum benefits
  • How do immunoglobulins work?
  • Benefits of immunoglobulins
  • How to take an immunoglobulin supplement
  • Best immunoglobulin supplement + where to get it


Quotes

“[Immunoglobulins] were traditionally used and still are actually for more diarrhea-dominant problems. So if you've got a lot of loose soft stools, diarrhea, or even something like inflammatory bowel disease.”

“IgGs can be found in the serum of your blood, and they also can be found in the serum of the blood of cows. And so historically, when people supplement with colostrum, that's derived from dairy, and it contains IgGs. So they are similar in that colostrum has IgGs and it's one of the major components that makes it so helpful, but it's not as potent.”
