Almost always bovine (cow) colostrum. It's biologically similar to human colostrum and widely available.

Generally considered safe, but always check with their pediatrician first. Dosing is different for children.
Most research uses 2.0g daily. Below 0.5g, you're probably wasting money. Above 10.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 60.0g.
Immunoglobulins bind to pathogens in the gut, preventing them from attaching to the intestinal lining. Growth factors promote the repair and regeneration of gut cells. Lactoferrin exhibits antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Research shows some promising effects on gut health and immunity, but further studies are needed to confirm these benefits and determine the optimal dosage and duration of use.
The first milk produced by mammals after giving birth. The supplement version is almost always from cows (bovine colostrum).
Colostrum interacts with other supplements and meds. The analyzer flags interactions, dose mismatches, and timing collisions across your whole list.
