Bovine colostrum is the first milk a cow produces after giving birth. It contains antibodies, growth factors, and nutrients. People take it to support immune function, maintain gut barrier integrity, and aid exercise recovery.
Take it as a powder mixed with water or milk, ideally on an empty stomach for better immunoglobulin absorption. Typical doses range from 10 to 20 grams daily, divided into two servings.
Because it contains dairy proteins, anyone with a milk allergy or sensitivity should avoid it. The immune-modulating properties may theoretically interfere with immunosuppressant drugs. Consult a healthcare provider before using if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a chronic condition.
