What Is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the nutrient-dense first milk produced by mammals immediately after birth. Bovine colostrum, when collected early and handled carefully, naturally contains a concentrated combination of proteins, immunoglobulins, fats, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
Because quality can vary significantly depending on harvest timing, processing, and testing, not all colostrum products are the same.
That’s why third-party analysis matters.
Why Third-Party Testing Matters
Our colostrum has been independently analyzed by FPL (Food Products Laboratory, Inc.), one of the largest private food-testing laboratories in North America. FPL uses USDA- and EPA-certified methods and participates in verified accuracy programs.
This testing verifies:
-
Nutrient composition
-
Absence of pesticides and antibiotics
-
Microbial safety
-
Heavy metal screening
This level of testing provides transparency and confidence in what you’re consuming.
First-Milking Matters
The lab results confirm a total protein content of 53.89% and lactose levels of 10.4%, which are consistent with colostrum collected within the first 6 hours after birth
Early collection is critical because:
-
Protein levels are naturally higher
-
Lactose levels are naturally lower
-
The colostrum remains closer to its original biological composition
Whole Colostrum — Not Altered or Stripped
Many colostrum products on the market are filtered, standardized, or defatted to manipulate specific numbers on a label.
Our colostrum is different.
-
Never defatted
-
Never filtered or standardized
-
Maintains a natural fat content of 21.70%, which is characteristic of whole colostrum
Low-heat drying keeps moisture at just 1.6%, supporting long-term stability without excessive processing.
Naturally Occurring Amino Acids
The lab analysis confirms the presence of all 8 essential amino acids, along with several non-essential amino acids, naturally occurring within the colostrum protein matrix.
Amino acids are the foundational components of proteins and are an important part of overall nutrition.
Vitamins & Minerals — Naturally Present
Rather than fortification, this colostrum contains naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, including:
-
Vitamin A (including beta-carotene)
-
Vitamin C
-
Vitamin E
-
B-complex vitamins
-
Calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and more
These nutrients occur in small, food-based amounts as part of the whole colostrum profile.
Clean & Tested for Safety
Every batch undergoes comprehensive safety screening:
Pesticides & Antibiotics
-
No organophosphates detected
-
No chlorinated pesticides detected
-
No carbamates detected
-
Antibiotics: negative
Microbial Testing
-
E. coli: negative
-
Salmonella: negative
-
Coliforms: negative
Heavy Metals
-
Arsenic: <0.05 ppm
-
Cadmium: <0.05 ppm
-
Mercury: <0.1 ppm
-
Lead: 0.30 ppm (within tested limits)
The Bottom Line
High-quality colostrum isn’t about exaggerated claims — it’s about:
-
Early harvesting
-
Minimal processing
-
Whole-food composition
-
Independent verification
Our colostrum delivers exactly that, supported by transparent third-party testing and careful sourcing.
