Build your immunity! Bovine colostrum is the nutrient-rich first milky fluid produced by cows immediately following calf delivery. Chock-full of nutrients necessary for growth and development, colostrum has immunomodulating effects to support your immune function, particularly of the upper respiratory tract.

Colostrum is the first milky fluid produced by lactating mammals immediately following their offspring’s delivery. Organika’s Bovine Colostrum is the milky fluid that comes from free range cows, free from all growth hormones. Colostrum is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and antibodies that fight disease-causing agents such as bacteria and viruses in the body.
Breast milk, including human and bovine milk, contain many factors that are involved in immune development. In the first year of life, infants are developing their immune system. At birth, their immune systems see anything that is not itself as foreign, so the first year or two of life is an essential time of programming the immune system. It gets taught what is safe to allow in, and what is best to attack.
Colostrum contains various compounds to help with infant’s immune development and growth. Immunoglobulins, prebiotic oligosaccharides, extracellular vesicles, antimicrobial proteins and immunomodulatory cytokines can all be a part of this important development. Human and cow milk are quite similar in these components.

Q: Where does your colostrum come from? A: Our colostrum is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised grade A Holstein cows from the USA. There is no exposure to antibiotics or added hormones.
Q: Is using bovine colostrum a new phenomenon? A: Not super new. It's been studied since the 1970’s for its potential effects on immunity and infection.
Q: Are you taking away the milk from the baby calves? A: No. The colostrum is only collected after the first five milkings has gone to the baby.
Q: Is colostrum a good source of calcium? A: Yes, colostrum is a good source of calcium. That being said, this supplement is not meant to be taken as your sole source of calcium intake.
Q: How much lactoferrin is in your colostrum? A: There is an average of 7.2mg/g of lactoferrin, and 1900mg/g of IGF (insulin growth factor).
