What actually is colostrum?

No, really... like what the heck is this stuff?

Colostrum is the very first milk all mammals produce right after giving birth. Often referred to as "liquid gold", colostrum is nature's original superfood and provides our bodies the healthy head start they need.

Bovine colostrum - which is colostrum from dairy cows - has been used by humans as a natural health supplement for thousands of years. It is loaded with nutrients and antibodies that help fortify our gut health, repair and revitalize our skin and hair, and strengthen our immune system.

Here are the 5 most common colostrum questions we get:

1. Who is colostrum actually for?

Colostrum is great for anyone who is looking to:

  • Heal gut issues OR improve overall gut health

  • Clear up skin issues like acne and blemishes OR nourish skin to stay youthful-looking

  • Fuller, healthier, and more lustrous hair

  • Build up their immune system to better fight colds, allergies, and harmful environmental toxins 

  • Improve their workout performance and reduce recovery times

2. Is colostrum the new collagen?

Yes and no. Colostrum and collagen both offer benefits for skin, hair, and nails, but in different ways. Unlike collagen, colostrum is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. Also unlike collagen, colostrum contains immune-boosting properties to support overall health. Additionally, colostrum is packed with growth factors that stimulate the production of both collagen and elastin, which are important for skin elasticity and strength. Both supplements support the health of skin, hair, and nails, but colostrum offers much broader support for whole body health.

3. Are you taking colostrum away from calves that need it?

Absolutely not! Unlike many other brands, Prelude sources its colostrum exclusively from small, Grade A U.S. dairy farms that prioritize the wellbeing of their cows. At these farms, every single calf gets the colostrum it needs FIRST. Any surplus colostrum is then collected for use in our products.

4. What the heck is IgG and does it really matter?

IgG stands for immunoglobulin-G, an important antibody found in colostrum. While this is one of colostrum’s most important nutrients, it is certainly not the only important one. Unfortunately, many colostrum brands try to increase IgG levels by removing the nutrient-rich fat…very similar to how skim milk is a nutrient-depleted version of whole milk. While doing this does artificially increase IgG levels, it removes other crucial nutrients that make colostrum so effective. That’s why at Prelude, we only use whole, never-skimmed colostrum. So you know you’re getting exactly what nature intended.

5. What’s better: colostrum gummies or powders?

While both can be highly effective, the answer really depends on your preferences and habits. Many people prefer colostrum gummies as they are a more convenient and delicious way to enjoy colostrum daily, and don’t require fussing with messy powders. Powders may be a good choice if you are already making a cold beverage like a smoothie or post-workout drink (avoid adding colostrum to hot beverages like coffee as heat can render it ineffective!). Fortunately, Prelude offers both colostrum gummies and powders (powders coming soon!), so you can choose the product that’s right for you.
