Colostrum: Nature's First Functional Nutrition

Colostrum is the first nourishment produced by mammals and is naturally rich in bioactive compounds that support immune and digestive function. Bovine colostrum is increasingly used in adult wellness formulations to support gut integrity, immune balance, and overall resilience.



Why Colostrum

Colostrum delivers a naturally occurring matrix of bioactives, including:

  • Immunoglobulins (IgG) to support gut barrier function and immune defense
  • Growth factors to support intestinal integrity
  • Lactoferrin to help maintain immune and microbial balance
  • Proline-rich peptides (PRPs) to help modulate immune response

Together, these components make colostrum a foundational ingredient for gut and immune health formulations.
