Colostrum is the first milk mammals produce after giving birth. Packed with nutrients, it helps our bodies thrive and heal. Prelude Colostrum is sourced from healthy cows (bovine) raised on family-owned U.S. farms without antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs.
Colostrum is produced within the first 24-72 hours after a cow gives birth. Unlike regular milk, colostrum is incredibly rich in essential nutrients, antibodies, and immune-supporting compounds, giving it a thick, yellow, appearance – hence its nickname “liquid gold”.
After this initial period, the cow begins producing regular milk which is high-volume, white in color, and much less nutrient-dense compared to colostrum.
Bovine colostrum is much more nutrient-dense than human colostrum!
Bovine colostrum is 40 times richer in antibodies and contains significantly more immunoglobulins like IgA, IgG, IgE, and IgD.
Bovine colostrum also contains significantly less lactose, making it easier for many people to digest.
Yes, Prelude Colostrum is 100% natural and safe for daily use. It’s rigorously tested for purity and sourced from grass-fed cows without antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs
Unlike other brands, Prelude Colostrum uses liposomal technology for superior absorption, and contains whole, full-spectrum colostrum to deliver comprehensive beauty, gut, & immune benefits.
Absolutely! Both men and women can enjoy the health and beauty benefits of colostrum. Many of our male customers report improved digestion, hair health, and complexion.
Prelude Colostrum Powder can be mixed into any liquid, but we recommend avoiding very hot beverages (above 160°F) as high temperatures can degrade some bioactive nutrients, reducing its potency. Use at least 8oz of liquid for every 2 scoops of powder for the best experience.
Pro tip: Use an electric or handheld frother for a smooth, creamy consistency in your drink! P.s. we sell these!
For adults, we recommend starting with 2 scoops daily, gradually increasing to 4+ scoops per day for maximum benefits.
For children ages 2-10, we recommend 1 scoop per day.
While results vary by individual, most customers report the following with consistent daily use:
1-2 Weeks:
Noticeable improvements in digestion and reduced bloating.
1-2 Months:
Visible changes to skin and hair, including smoother skin & shinier hair.
2+ months:
Greater resilience in gut and skin microbiomes, leading to a natural glow and improved digestion.
Liposomal encapsulation is a process used to protect colostrum’s bioactive nutrients. By surrounding colostrum particles with a lipid (fat) layer, we create tiny fat-soluble bubbles called liposomes. These liposomes shield the nutrients from stomach acid and deliver them directly to your cells for maximum absorption and effectiveness.
Both products are effective, but they’re designed to suit different preferences:

Colostrum Gummies:
- 1,000mg bovine colostrum per serving
- Strawberry flavored with 1g of sugar per gummy
- Perfect for travel or those who prefer a ready-to-eat option
Both products contain 30 servings of pure bovine colostrum, ethically sourced from USDA Grade A farms.
Yes, but only 1g of sugar per gummy! We include a small amount of real sugar to enhance the natural strawberry flavor, making the gummies a delicious and satisfying way to boost your health.
We source colostrum exclusively from USDA Grade A family-owned dairy farms that follow a strict “calf-first” policy. Calves are fed all the colostrum they need before any surplus is collected.
Our cows have access to the outdoors where they graze on grass when the weather permits. During colder months, the cows may receive forages such as dried grass, hay, alfalfa, or wet plant material like silage and other green feeds. Depending on the nutritional needs of the animals and the time of year, they sometimes also receive a small amount of supplemental, non-GMO grains. In general, the majority of the cows' diet is grass and forages.
Our cattle never receive antibiotics or hormones.
While there are no known risks, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Yes! The antibodies and nutrients in colostrum can help support your pet’s gut health and immune system. Sprinkle Prelude Colostrum Powder on their kibble, mix it with wet food, or stir it into their water. We do not recommend giving colostrum gummies to pets.
