FAQs
1. What is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced from a mother mammary glands during the first 72 hours after giving birth. Colostrum is much richer in antibodies, contain less lactose and differs in its protein composition
2. Why Bovine Colostrum?
The immune and growth factors are nearly identical to human colostrum. Furthermore, dairy cow produce more than than enough colostrums to supply human needs without depriving calves of their essential first food.
3. Why is “first milking” so critical?
The concentration of beneficial immune and growth factors is highest and in perfect balance only in first milking colostrum. Colostrum collected from subsequent milkings has higher concentration of milk.
4. What is the difference between first milking and transitional colostrums?
The majority colostrum sold on the market is transitional colostrums. Transitional colostrum is harvested 2-3 days after birth. During this phase, colostrums gradually changes into milk. When colostrum moves into the transitional phase, beneficial factors (immune & growth factors) are diluted, and lactose content is high. As such it is not suitable for lactose intolerants. Only the first milking colostrums contains the richest and highest levels of immune and growth factors.
5. How safe is colostrum?
Colostrum is a natural food product and can be consumed with no adverse side effects. Thousands of years of human use and thousands of scientific studies and human clinical trials worldwide have proven bovine colostrums to be safe and effective for people of all ages.
6. How can I benefit from colostrums as an adult?
As we age, it takes us a little longer to fight off a cold or flu, we become more vulnerable to diseases, our energy and enthusiasm lessen, our skin loses its elasticity, we gain unwanted weight and lose muscle tone. After maturity, we gradually lose the immune and growth factors in our body. Medical science has shown that colostrums is the only natural source of powerful immune – enhancing and anti-aging factors.
7. Can I take colostrum with other supplements?
Colostrum helps heal the digestive tract so that all substances taken internally (eg. Food, herbs and supplements) become bio-available to the body. When taking colostrums, you may find that the other supplements will have a more pronounced effect.

8. How long do I have to consume colostrum in order to “see the effects”?
Colostrum is not drug, you will not be able to see or feel any instant effects most of the time. In addition, healing takes time and each individual differs from one another, only through continuous consumption over time that you will find it beneficial to your health. Usually, most colostrums consumers take at least 3 months of consistent consumption to be able to experience the before-and-after effect.
9. What does Ig mean?
Ig is an abbreviation for immunoglobin. Five types of immunoglobulins present in colostrums, specifically IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM. These energizing elements in colostrums have been scientifically proven to be anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory in nature, thereby giving a healthy boost to the immune system.
10. Is low fat Colostrum better?
Lipids (fats) help colostrums disperse and dissolve. But colostrums with full fat content will spoil quicker. Only low fat colostrums has better quality, more stable and longer shelf-life.
11. Is colostrum water-soluble?
Colostrum in its natural state is a very fine powder that is insoluble and will float on the top of any liquid it is placed in. Thus does not in any way affect its digestibility or absorption.
12. Why capsule form?
Colostrum kept in capsule to make sure the active ingredient is preserved properly. And it is more convenient to carry and to consume.
13. Can lactose intolerant consume colostrums?
Genuine colostrum is collected from the mother’s mammary glands during first 72 hours after birth, so it is low in lactose and can be consume by lactose intolerant.
14. How should I consume colostrums?
The amount of colostrums needed differs from one individual to another. We suggest 2-4 capsules twice daily for adults and 1-2 capsules for children twice daily.
