Colostrum
Bovine Colostrum
The nutrient-dense first milk produced after birth, rich in immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, growth factors, and antimicrobial peptides. Trending as a gut health and immune support supplement with growing clinical evidence for gut barrier repair and athletic recovery.
How Colostrum Works
Colostrum contains IgG, IgA, lactoferrin, and growth factors (IGF-1, TGF-β) that directly support gut mucosal repair, enhance immune surveillance, and provide antimicrobial protection against pathogens.
📊 Evidence by Outcome
Reduces gut permeability (leaky gut) and protects against NSAID-induced gut damage. Growth factors support mucosal healing.
