My Secret Weapon

A lot of my friends and family have asked why I rarely get sick. They all say it's because I run. I don't know if that's the reason or not..I doubt it. There are times that I feel like I'm starting to come down with a cold and I do have a secret weapon that I use to fight it. I am reluctant to say what it is because when I tell people they usually look at me like I'm crazy. I'm not a person who is into taking tons of vitamins or anything. I do periodically take Vitamin C and I have a bottle of a combo of Vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium. You're supposed to take 3 a day and I don't always do it. I get a lot of headaches so the magnesium is supposed to help.

Anyway, my secret weapon for fighting colds and other sicknesses is bovine colostrum. Colostrum is a mother's "first milk" which is supposed to boost your immune system. Anyone who has had a baby will know what I'm talking about. It comes in pill form and when I am starting to feel a tickle in my throat I usually pop five pills twice a day for a few days and that normally does the trick. It sounds too good to be true, I know, but it really works. A friend turned me onto this years ago and my husband and I both now take it.

I have been talking about this a lot recently (reluctantly) because so many people around me are fighting colds right now. Everyone has been asking me for the link so I just thought it would be easier to post all the info on my blog.

I buy it from Vitacost. The current price is just under $32 which sounds kind of high, but you get 240 pills and that lasts a long time.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me..I'm not an authority on the subject, but I am happy to share my experience.

Stay healthy!
