Bovine colostrum is a milky fluid that comes from the udder of cows the first few days after giving birth, before true milk appears. This fluid contains proteins called antibodies. These antibodies may fight bacteria and viruses that cause diseases. Antibody levels in bovine colostrum can be 100 times higher than levels in regular cow's milk.

Colostrum is a natural remedy that has been used for centuries to treat and prevent illness.The substance functions by fighting off infection, especially in those who are already sick or elderly people because they have weaker immune systems than young children do.
Colostrum also helps combat inflammation which can lead to heart disease according its active component immunoglobulin G (IgG). It does this through three different mechanisms:enhance macrophage activity; reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals , - molecules capable of damaging cellular components such as proteins ; antibacterial effect against certain pathogenic organisms. 

Immunoglobulins (IgG) are a group of antibodies that help protect your body from disease. They're found in the blood, saliva and tears. When you get sick or injured, IgGs bind to alien particles called antigens , which signal your immune system's defense cells - killer T-cells --to attack foreign invaders like bacteria viruses fungi yeast spores molds etc., keeping them away so we don't catch an infection. 

The growth factor (IGF-1) is a substance present in our bodies that helps to promote cell repair and prevent aging. It also plays an important role in regulating how quickly your tissues repair themselves after injury.

The pharmacokinetics of bovine colostrum, particularly with regard to the immunoglobulins, is unclear. It would be expected that immunoglobulins found in bovine colostrum would be rapidly inactivated by stomach acid and proteolytic action in the small intestine. Enteric coating would protect the proteins from acid in the stomach but not from proteolytic activity in the small intestine. However, following the ingestion of bovine colostrum, some immunoglobulins are found to be excreted intact in the feces after a few days. This suggests that some immunoglobulins may be more resistant to degradation in the gut. Growth factors and other peptides and proteins in bovine colostrum are most likely degraded by proteolytic enzymes and absorbed, distributed and metabolized in the same fashion as similar dietary substances.
