I (Rob) initially discovered bovine colostrum on my search to have a healthier gut. I struggled with leaky gut and was diagnosed as being ‘gluten sensitive’ and recommended to go gluten-free. This was not an impossible option for me and I would have had the full support of my mother, who has celiac disease, but I really, really, really didn’t want to at the time so I looked for different options. Colostrum had such a positive impact on my gut health week 1 – completely curing me of my leaky gut – so I would refer to it to my wife as ‘my little gut hero‘. Since then, I have researched and learned of all the additional benefits bovine colostrum can have on not just your gut but also on the immune system and in boosting athletic performance BUT even with all these spectacular additional benefits,  it will always be ‘My Gut Hero’ to me and hopefully to those who use it.

Taken directly from our write-up on our About Us page:

Colostrum has been used for its tremendous health benefits for thousands of years. It is a “pre-milk” produced by all mammals while giving birth. What is new is colostrum powder as a supplement to skyrocket physical performance and endurance, especially bovine colostrum.

We’ve known for a long time how critical the colostrum in mother’s milk is the helping infants thrive. Bovine colostrum contains 40 times more health benefits than human colostrum. Studies done during the past three decades have shown the remarkable benefits of colostrum to the immune system in both children and adults, and it is thought that colostrum could actually reverse immune system disorders such as AIDS.

For anyone looking for a natural supplement to help reach optimal physical performance, the powerhouse supplement colostrum can serve as an answer. Some of the known benefits of colostrum are:

• It can regenerate and heal damaged nerve tissue, cartilage and restore strength to aging muscles and rejuvenate bone and muscle cells.
• It helps burn body fat instead of muscle tissue, thereby building lean, strong muscles.
• It shortens the period of post-training stress, allowing the body to recover quicker.
• It balances blood sugar levels.
• It regulates brain chemicals to enhance positive moods. All athletes know that optimal physical performance starts in the mind.

We recommend you consult your doctor before using colostrum powder with infants under 2 years old, those nursing or pregnant and also to treat any serious life threatening diseases. Because it is a 100% natural supplement, your doctor will most likely say it is a great idea in all cases but please be smart and ask first.

*** If you have a severe milk protein allergy, you should consult your doctor prior to taking colostrum, due to its high protein count.

We’ll let a doctor answer this one:

“Unlike conventional milk, colostrum actually contains little lactose. Generally, people who are lactose-intolerant should experience no problems when taking colostrum. In addition, some lactose-intolerant people have even reported an increase in tolerance to lactose after taking colostrum for approximately six to eight weeks. There are some colostrum products on the market which contains no lactose because the lactose has been filtered out, this is a suitable option for people who choose a lactose-free diet or are severely allergic to lactose.”

No.

BUT if you are lactose intolerant it may make you slightly gassier than normal (if that is your normal side effect to consuming lactose). Please read the above answer on lactose intolerance to find out that this probably will not be the case even for those lactose intolerant.

Absolutely! It’s completely safe but not always needed. If you’re using colostrum powder to help with your gut health or to boost your immune system, then the daily dose is enough. If you’re an athlete looking to max out your stamina and recovery speed we recommend taking a dose before your workout/performance and directly after, this is in addition to the daily dosings.
