Good Question. Compare the purity of the products you are purchasing. So many products on the market claims to be 100% bovine Colostrum but include in the ingredients listed the addition of milk powder and other fillers. This in fact makes them a blended product and not the pure Colostrum powder you are after. Colostrum Health only use 100% bovine Colostrum for the manufacture of the capsule sand powder products. Our branded vanilla flavoured tablets go contain flavourants, binding compounds and milk powder for taste and to bind the components of the tablets. Before buying bovine Colostrum products be sure you are buying the product you think you are buying and ask for the supplier's specifications if in doubt. Just as important is where you obtain your bovine colostrum. New Zealand bovine colostrum is in high demand because of the quality and natural way it is produced.

How does bovine colostrum benefit humans?
Bovine Colostrum is a great choice for human supplementation.
• The molecular structure of bovine colostrum is very similar to that found from humans, which means it will work effectively in both species.
• Bovine colostrum contains greater levels of some of the valuable factors contained in human colostrum. For example, the important immunoglobulin( IgG), which is needed to bind pathogens, only makes up 2% of human colostrum, while in bovine colostrum; this IgG is available at a concentration of around 20%.
• The quality of New Zealand bovine colostrum is very carefully managed. This colostrum is processed and packaged at a low temperature which ensures the integrity and bio-activity is maintained. Our product is never frozen thus preserving the valuable bio-active components.
• Bovine colostrum contains special compounds called glycoproteins and trypsin inhibitors. These compounds prevent the digestive juices in the human stomach from destroying the immune and growth factors in colostrum, ensuring effectiveness.

Some individuals may experience a mild gastrointestinal distress or a bloated feeling, which can be avoided by lowering the dose.
