Colostrum from cow's milk shows promise in treating Parkinson's and Alzheimer's

Researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha are collaborating with local farmers to explore cow colostrum as a potential treatment for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
Two years ago, researchers contacted local farmers to investigate colostrum, the nutrient-rich first milk produced after birth, as a potential therapy for neurological disease.
Dr. Howard Gendelman isolated and "supercharged" active components from colostrum, which restored brain function in experimental models; John Oehlerking explained, "We were asked to collect some of that for their research."
Gendelman launched the company NeuroRegen to facilitate production, with plans to test the nutraceutical on humans soon and mass-produce the product in Omaha.
As long as the cows keep calving, scientists and farmers remain committed to the project, aiming to improve lives across Nebraska and the world.
