Colostrum Supplementation

Goat colostrum is the preferred supplemental form because goat milk more closely resembles human milk and presents lower allergy risk due to a different casein profile. Colostrum supplements should be started at half a tablet before bed and increased gradually to avoid triggering an initial immune response. When selecting cow colostrum supplements, minimally heated products should be chosen because heat destroys the active immune proteins. Adults who were not breastfed can obtain many of the same benefits from colostrum supplements.
