Colostrum
Colostrum is the first form of milk produced by mammals immediately following childbirth. Commonly called “liquid gold,” it's rich in antibodies, growth factors, and nutrients specifically designed to support the development of a newborn’s gut microbiome and immune system. Colostrum contains immunoglobulins (like IgG and IgA) that promote overall bodily and immune system health, as well as proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals to nourish the body. We use bovine colostrum in our Colostrum supplement because it’s similar in composition to human colostrum, but contains a higher concentration of immunoglobulin IgG and can provide benefits for gut health, healthy immune system support†, and overall wellness.
 
Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein found in milk and other bodily fluids, like saliva and tears. It plays a key role in supporting the immune system by binding to iron, which helps to promote microbial balance (the balance of “good” bacteria vs. the “bad” bacteria). This gives lactoferrin inherent microbial-balancing properties, helping your body remain resilient. It’s also an antioxidant and supports gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system, which is why we’ve added an additional source of clinically-studied lactoferrin to boost the lactoferrin already naturally occurring in colostrum.
 
Bacillus coagulans
Bacillus coagulans is one of the most clinically-studied probiotics strains on the planet. It is a soil-based organism (SBO) probiotic, which means it can survive extreme conditions – like the heat of the digestive system. It helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, promotes digestion, reduces occasional bloating and gas, and supports healthy immune system function†. We include Bacillus coagulans in our formulas because it’s uniquely resilient, which allows it to remain effective even in harsh environments, and it helps promote nutrient absorption† and bioavailability of the formula it’s in.
