Colostrum from grazing cows total body support - 180 caps

Why buy

Modern Native 's colostrum is a freeze-dried dietary supplement derived from the first milk of pasture-raised cows in the Netherlands.

The product is produced under strict hygienic conditions to ensure maximum quality. Colostrum is collected during the first 12 hours after birth and then freeze-dried to preserve its nutritional value.*

It contains various bioactive components such as immunoglobulins, growth factors, lactoferrin, vitamins and minerals. This makes it a concentrated source of nutrients compared to conventional milk.

The product contains important components such as immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, IgD), which are a natural part of the colostrum. It also includes lactoferrin and lysozyme, which occur naturally in the body.

These substances are part of the rich nutritional profile of the product. Growth factors, such as IGF-1 and IGF-2, play an important role in colostrum composition, and proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) may influence various bodily processes.

Colostrum is naturally low in lactose, making it suitable for most people, including those with lactose problems. The product is manufactured under strict hygienic conditions to ensure its high quality.

This supplement can be a good part of a balanced diet. We recommend introducing it gradually and watching how your body reacts to it.

* It is important that the first dose of colostrum is primarily for calves, as it contains essential nutrients and antibodies that support their immune system and healthy growth.

Colostrum collection for dietary supplementation is done after the calves have received their required dose. In practice, this means that only excess colostrum that is not consumed by the calves is used for production, thus ensuring that their health and development is not compromised.

This ethical approach ensures that the calves get everything they need and the remaining colostrum can be used for further processing.

Historical uses of colostrum

Historically, colostrum has been used in various cultures for its potential health benefits. In traditional Indian medicine, known as Ayurveda, colostrum is called "Ojas" and is considered to support immunity and overall health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is referred to as "beast milk" and is considered a valuable substance that can strengthen the spleen, nourish the blood and improve vital energy Qi. However, this term is less well known and used outside the context of traditional Chinese medicine.

Native American cultures considered it a sacred substance that provides strength and protection to newborns and promotes healing in adults.

Furthermore, colostrum has been used in the past in many traditional cultures around the world as a natural remedy to improve vitality and immunity. Modern science is now confirming some of these historical uses and focusing on its potential to support gut health and immune function.

Colostrum and studies

Here are some scientific studies on colostrum:

1. Analysis of the human milk fat layer transcriptome: this study focused on RNA sequencing of the human milk fat layer during different stages of lactation, including colostrum. Specific proteins and genes, such as isoferritins and cathepsins, have been found to be abundant during colostrum production, highlighting their potential importance for neonatal health. You can find more information here ​.

2. Colostrum and the development of the digestive tract of calves: This study investigated how different colostrum feeding strategies during the first 12 hours after birth affect the development of the immune system in the colon of newborn calves. The study indicated that the timing of colostrum administration may not significantly affect the development of the calves' immune system, suggesting that the benefits of colostrum are consistent regardless of feeding time.

3. Effect of colostrum exosomes on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: This study investigated the effects of bovine colostrum-derived exosomes on gut microbiota and liver inflammation in mice with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The results showed that colostrum exosomes improved gut inflammation and intestinal barrier function, which may contribute to the prevention of inflammation and liver fibrosis. Details of the study can be found in here.

These studies highlight the various applications of colostrum in medical research. You can visit the links provided for more details.

Dosage

The recommended daily dosage is six capsules per day, equivalent to 3000 mg of powder.

6 capsules are equivalent to approximately 24 ml of fresh colostrum.

Ingredients

• Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, IgD)
• Lactoferrin
• Lysozyme
• Growth factors (such as IGF-1, IGF-2, TGF-β)
• Proline-rich polypeptides (PRP)*
• Vitamins: vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B12 and E
• Minerals: calcium, sodium, magnesium and zinc
• Amino Acids
• Cytokines
• Interferons
• Oligosaccharides

*Proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) are short chain amino acids that contain high amounts of proline, one of the essential amino acids.

PRPs occur naturally in the colostrum and play an important role in the regulation of the immune system. This substance is also sometimes referred to as a "cytokine modulator" due to its ability to help maintain a balance between activation and suppression of the immune response.

PRPs are unique in that they can support the immune system when it is weakened and suppress it when it is too active, which can be useful in autoimmune diseases, for example. They are therefore considered adaptogens of the immune system.

Other research suggests that PRP may affect inflammatory processes in the body and help repair damaged tissues.

You can find more information about PRPs and their properties on, for example NCBI or other professional resources focused on nutritional science.

Sources of raw materials

The ingredients in Modern Native supplements come from cows that are free-range in the Netherlands. Thanks to their natural environment and quality care, they retain a high nutrient content, ensuring that the colostrum has optimal nutritional properties and a better nutritional profile.

• Money spent on farms stays in the economy, which has a domino effect and creates more jobs on other local farms.
• Shorter distribution chains reduce unnecessary transport.
• Where cattle are raised according to organic standards, the soil is healthier. Naturally grazing cattle return nutrients to the soil through the urine and manure they excrete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this product daily?

Yes, for sure. Colostrum is suitable as a healthy daily food supplement.

Are the calves getting enough colostrum?

This colostrum supplement contains only colostrum from the first milking during the first 12 hours, when the immunoglobulin content is highest. We use only the excess colostrum that the calf does not use.

Can I take this supplement if I am lactose intolerant?

This colostrum comes from type A1 cows. Colostrum is naturally low in lactose, which in most cases does not cause problems in lactose intolerant people.

We have found that many people with milk protein intolerance have no problem taking colostrum. To be safe, however, we recommend starting with small doses and observing how your body responds.

What is colostrum made of?

This colostrum supplement contains only colostrum from the first milking within the first 12 hours after birth (from A1 cows), when the immunoglobulin content is highest.

What is the difference between regular milk and colostrum?

Colostrum is superior to regular milk in terms of nutritional value. It contains more immunoglobulins, growth factors and lactoferrin, plus unique bioactive components that are only found in the first milk secretion after birth.

How to use colostrum?

You can take colostrum with or without food. We recommend taking it in the morning for a good start to the day. You can also split it into smaller doses throughout the day and see what works best for you.

How is colostrum produced?

During the first 12 hours after the calf is born, the excess colostrum not used by the calf is collected, frozen and then freeze-dried (gently dried).

What is the durability?

This freeze-dried colostrum has a shelf life of 1.5 years from the date of freeze-drying. The label may indicate a shorter shelf life if the product has been stored for some time. We strive for a minimum shelf life of at least 1 year at the time of delivery.
