Bioactive Components of Bovine Colostrum and Their Significant Effects on Prevention and Management of COVID-19. BC may be considered a viable method to assisting in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 patients or protection from the infection. BC has immunomodulatory effects due to its bioactive components, such as Igs, Lf, caseins, growth factors, among others, which may help modulate immune responses. Furthermore, its bioactive components, including Lf, antibodies, lysozyme, LPO, oligosaccharides, MFGM, etc., have a potential antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory infections. Its comprehensive food profile is also effective in post-illness recovery by supporting a healthy immune system by providing proteins, oligosaccharides, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids (3, 12, 203).
