Colostrum capsules from pasture-raised cattle
Colostrum with 30% immunoglobulin G – from the EU, no additives.
Colostrum is the first milk a cow produces after giving birth. Its composition differs significantly from regular milk and naturally contains immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and growth factors. Animal Based offers grass-fed bovine colostrum in capsule form.
What is colostrum?
Colostrum, also known as "first milk" or "beestings," is produced in the first few hours after birth. It is the first food for the calf. Unlike mature milk, colostrum contains a significantly higher proportion of proteins and immunoglobulins.
What does 30% IgG mean?
IgG stands for Immunoglobulin G, the most abundant antibody in colostrum. This value indicates the percentage of IgG in the total powder. It is the standard quality indicator for colostrum products and varies significantly depending on origin and processing.
Where does our colostrum come from?
From the EU, from grass-fed cattle. We operate according to the "calf-first" principle: the calf is always provided for first, and we exclusively source the surplus. Bottling and packaging take place in Germany.
Colostrum capsules or powder?
We offer colostrum in capsule form. Capsules are precisely dosed, tasteless, and practical for everyday use – no mixing required and free from the milky, sweet taste that comes with colostrum powder.
Composition
Grass-fed bovine colostrum and a capsule shell made from bovine gelatin. Free from fillers, flavorings, sweeteners, or preservatives. One pack contains 160 capsules. Colostrum is derived from cow's milk and therefore contains milk components.
Quality control
Every batch is tested for microbiology and heavy metals in an accredited German laboratory. The test reports are publicly viewable and can be identified via the batch number on your specific package.
