Click here to see our selection of Baby products.

Drinking Milk from Cows That Were Given BST BST, or bovine somatotrophin, is a protein hormone that is found in cows. It is produced and secreted by the pituitary gland and is important to growth, development and other bodily functions. All animals, including humans, produce a hormone similar to BST.

In the 1930s, it was discovered that by injecting BST into lactating cows, dairy farmers could increase their milk supply. Ever since then, there has been concern over the safety of BST for humans.

Studies have shown that BST is safe for human consumption and the FDA has approved it without any limitations. While pregnant women might be concerned because there are so many chemicals and products that they have to avoid, milk is an important part of their diet. Any BST found in milk is perfectly safe for pregnant women and their unborn children.
