Colostrum, often called nature's first superfood, is a powerful and natural way to help support your body's defenses and enhance your overall well-being.
Packed with essential macro- and micro-nutrients and growth factors, colostrum isn't just about shielding you from life's daily health challenges – it's about strengthening your gut health, promoting easier breathing, and empowering your body to thrive no matter what life throws your way.
Designed to help you thrive, this scientifically-backed gift from nature supports your gut, immune and respiratory systems from the inside out.*
So, whether you're navigating seasonal challenges or simply want to enhance your body's defenses, the potential life-changing power of colostrum may be exactly what you're looking for.
Let's dive in and discover how this incredible gift from nature can transform your health and vitality – from the inside out.
What Exactly Is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals, including humans, after giving birth. It's what nature provides newborns for sustenance for the first few days of life.
Unlike regular milk, colostrum is a nutrient-dense substance designed specifically to provide newborns with the essential building blocks they need for survival, growth, and immunity.
Because it's such a vital substance supplying key nutrients such as fats and lipids, and carbohydrates, as well as water, minerals and vitamins, newborns must ingest a sufficient amount of colostrum within a few hours of birth to ensure their survival.
There are key differences between colostrum and breast milk. Colostrum is loaded with immunoglobins to support your immune system and offers protective qualities. Plus, it contains two times as much protein and has four times the amount of zinc than mature breast milk.
While colostrum is thicker in consistency than breast milk and may be more golden in color due to its high levels of beta carotene, it is lower in fat and sugar, making it easier to digest.
But what about you – an adult? With the recent surge in consumer interest in colostrum, research has confirmed that it isn't just for newborns.
Colostrum offers many potential benefits for all ages because of its many valuable health-promoting compounds, including...
- Immunoglobulins – Immunoglobulins, such as IgG, IgM and IgA, support immune health and offer valuable protection against potential threats.*
- Growth factors – Substances that promote healthy cell growth, and help repair your intestinal lining, bone, tissue, and muscle.*
- Lactoferrin – A type of protein that promotes an already normal inflammatory response and acts as a prebiotic to feed your healthy gut bacteria.*
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) – A substance often found in joint supplements that supports normal wound healing and helps maintain healthy cartilage.*
- Proline-rich polypeptides (PRP) – Special polypeptides that help regulate the thymus and immune function, promoting a healthy, normal immune response.*
- Nucleotides and nucleosides – Valuable building blocks for DNA and RNA, energy storage and signaling pathways.*
7 Ways Colostrum May Benefit Your Health
These important compounds in colostrum work together to support your health in multiple ways:
- Immunity Support
The high concentrations of immunoglobulins, and components like lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and lysozyme in colostrum support your immune system by helping to neutralize threats. It also includes cytokines such as interleukins which promote healthy immune function and an already normal inflammatory response.*
- Respiratory Health
The immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and transforming growth factor- (TGF-) in colostrum support respiratory health.*
- Gut Health
Colostrum helps protect your gut lining by promoting mucosal integrity and tissue repair, aiding in conditions like “leaky gut.” Plus, bioactive oligosaccharides in colostrum encourage the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing digestion and gut health. And components like TGF-β promote an already normal inflammatory response in your gut, improving overall gut function and digestion.*
- Growth and Tissue Repair
Colostrum contains what's known as “insulin-like growth factors” (IGF-1 and IGF-2), which support cellular growth and tissue repair. Plus, a special protein in colostrum called Lactalbumin supports healthy cell growth. Platelet-derived growth factor and fibroblast growth factors promote healing by encouraging beneficial fibroblast activity and new tissue formation.*
- Systemic Benefits
Colostrum helps neutralize potentially harmful endotoxins in your gut, thus promoting an already normal inflammatory response throughout your body. Many of its bioactive compounds, such as IGFs, are not harmed during digestion, ensuring systemic benefits, making it especially useful for people with weakened immune systems, digestive issues, or those recovering from illness or injury.
- Joint Health
The growth factors in colostrum promote healthy joints, while MSM helps maintains cartilage integrity. Colostrum also helps preserve lean muscle mass and bone density, leading to increased comfort, strength and mobility, particularly as you age.*
- Athletic Performance and Muscle Recovery
The high levels of growth factors in colostrum stimulate protein synthesis, and may have a positive effect on body composition, muscle strength, and endurance in active individuals, as well as recovery. What's more, while strenuous exercise is known to suppress immune function, colostrum intake may help support healthy immunity in athletes.*

Why New Zealand Colostrum?
When it comes to selecting a colostrum supplement, the source of the colostrum matters.
Our New Zealand Colostrum comes from happy, healthy cows – cows that are permitted to graze free range, 365 days a year, in a climate known for its plentiful rainfall and sunshine..
Colostrum from New Zealand is widely regarded as the gold standard for quality, purity, and effectiveness. Here are just a few of the ways it stands apart from other sources:
- Clean, Pristine Environment
New Zealand is renowned for its lush, unspoiled landscapes and strict agricultural standards. The country's dairy industry is held to some of the highest regulations globally, ensuring that cows are raised in clean, healthy conditions. With cows grazing freely in one of the world's purest environments, the colostrum they produce is naturally rich in nutrients and monitored for harmful contaminants like pesticides, antibiotics, and growth hormones.
- Superior Nutritional Profile
Thanks to New Zealand's ideal farming practices, the colostrum produced there is exceptionally potent. It contains high levels of immunoglobulins, growth factors, lactoferrin, and other bioactive compounds essential for supporting your immune system, respiratory and gut health, as well as your overall vitality. This robust nutritional profile ensures that you receive maximum benefits from every serving.
- Rigorous Quality Standards
The production of colostrum in New Zealand adheres to stringent quality control measures, from collection to processing. Farmers follow humane, sustainable practices that prioritize the health of their animals and the environment. After collection, the colostrum undergoes careful low-heat processing to preserve its natural bioactive components. This ensures that the product remains highly effective while retaining its full spectrum of benefits.
- Free from Harmful Additives
New Zealand colostrum is prized for its purity. Unlike some colostrum supplements sourced elsewhere, it is typically free from unnecessary fillers, additives or artificial ingredients that could compromise its quality or safety. And for those with sensitive systems, this level of purity ensures you receive only the beneficial nutrients you need – nothing more, nothing less.
- Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing
In addition to its health benefits, New Zealand colostrum aligns with ethical and sustainable values. Dairy cows are not over-milked or mistreated, and their needs are prioritized throughout the collection process. By choosing New Zealand colostrum, you're supporting your own health as well as contributing to environmentally responsible and humane farming practices.
Our colostrum is provided by farmers who have produced milk for generations. The farms are surrounded by 500 kilometers of the highest and most glacial mountains in the country, spanning New Zealand's South Island between the two coasts.
With its unmatched purity, nutrient density, and ethical sourcing, New Zealand Colostrum is the ultimate choice for a premium colostrum – one that will provide you with the benefits you expect.
