0:00.0	Social media has drastically changed the way we communicate, learn, share, and engage with the world.
0:09.7	It's also changing the way our brains function.
0:12.7	And according to research, more than 69% of adults and 81% of teens use social media daily,
0:20.1	with more than 90% of teens using it for more than four hours a day.
0:25.1	The constant ability to access social media through smartphones means our brains are exposed to high volumes of stimulation and our neurons are firing all day long, which creates changes in the

2:18.1	Colostrum has been clinically shown to help guard against inflammation and everyday toxins and pollutants.
