Colostrum, The "Elixir of Life"
Colostrum, or “first milk,” is the milk produced during the first few days after birth and has been found to contain significantly higher levels of immunoglobulins, growth factors and peptides that are vital for supporting growth and development of neonates. Due to higher levels of immunoglobulins and casein, bovine colostrum also contains more protein than mature milk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of protein does colostrum contain?
The two primary types of protein in colostrum are whey protein and caseins, which both act as a source of energy. Casein, which is found in larger quantities in colostrum than whey protein, contains special proteins that aid in protein synthesis and growth factors that support cellular health and growth. Casein also contains polypeptides with antioxidant properties that help scavenge free radicals and support immune health. The concentration of casein is much higher in colostrum than in mature milk.
Can you mix Prime Colostrum into food?
Mix the powder thoroughly in cool or room temperature liquids. This product may also be mixed into food such as yogurt, smoothies, apple sauce, etc. Avoid mixing with hot beverages or hot foods as heat can reduce colostrum’s bioactive components.
What are some of the major immune health properties within colostrum?
Immunoglobulins (IgG) and Lactoferrin are a few of the major immune health factors within colostrum. IgG colostrum works to support the gut lining, which is essential for immune function. A healthy gut barrier supports the body in efficiently utilizing nutrients from supplements like OPCs, curcumin, CoQ10, omegas and essential minerals, complementing the effectiveness of a well-rounded wellness regimen. Lactoferrin provides antioxidant support and supports the regulation of iron absorption within the gut.
What additional benefits does colostrum potentially provide for muscle health?
Evidence suggests that bovine colostrum supplementation could present benefits of lower body strength gain and bone-free lean body mass. The results from a study in which older adults supplemented with either colostrum or whey powder throughout an eight-week resistance training program demonstrated that bovine colostrum may present more benefits for lower body strength. Additionally, eight weeks of daily colostrum supplementation may promote bone-free lean body mass in active men and women.
What makes something an adaptogen?
An adaptogen is a non-toxic substance that aids in the functioning of the body and its physiological responses in some way, such as the immune or digestive system. Overall, adaptogens help support the harmony of the body and its many systems that play into the overall immune system. They include various properties such as flavonoids (antioxidants), vitamins, prebiotics and polysaccharides that can help encourage the body to respond to different stressors in healthy ways.
