What colostrum is
Colostrum is the first milk a cow produces after giving birth, before regular milk comes in. It is naturally rich in immunoglobulins (antibodies), along with proteins and growth factors meant to give a newborn calf its start. Bovine colostrum has been sold as a supplement for decades, and it is the most widely available kind.
What's in the tub
One ingredient: bovine colostrum (Bos taurus) powder. The label lists no non-medicinal ingredients, so there are no flavours, sweeteners or fillers. Each scoop is 1.5 g, a small amount that stirs easily into water, milk, a smoothie or yogurt.
Why a powder
Powder makes a daily habit easy. One small scoop goes into whatever you already drink in the morning, and a tub lasts more than three months. Capsules would need several to reach the same 1.5 g.
Who it suits
Adults who want a single-ingredient immune product they can stir into a daily drink, without capsules, flavours or sweeteners. It is not suitable for anyone allergic to cow's milk.
How to take it
Adults 18 and over take 1 scoop (1.5 g) once a day. Do not use it if you have a known allergy to cow's milk. The full cautions are under How to Take, including the conditions and medications to check with a practitioner about first.
