Colostrum 1000 mg | 30% IgG | 120 Capsules | Osavi

Colostrum with 30% IgG from Osavi

These capsules contain bovine colostrum, standardized to a minimum of 30% immunoglobulin G (IgG). Two capsules together provide 1000 mg of colostrum. Colostrum, also known as first milk, is the very first milk a mammal produces right after birth. It differs from regular milk and is packed with proteins and other natural components. Convenient for those who want to add colostrum in a solid, portioned form to their daily routine.

What colostrum is exactly

Colostrum is not ordinary milk. It is the first nourishment a cow produces in the first hours after calving, before normal milk production begins. This first milk has a different composition: thicker, yellower, and richer in proteins. It naturally contains immunoglobulins, including IgG, plus substances like lactoferrin (an iron-binding protein) and various growth factors. This bovine colostrum is obtained from dairy farms and processed into a powder that goes into capsules. Good to know: because colostrum is a dairy product, it naturally contains milk and lactose. By the way, if you search for the term "biest," you'll find exactly the same thing, as that's simply the Dutch word for it.

What 30% IgG means

IgG stands for immunoglobulin G. This is a type of antibody, a Y-shaped protein that your own body also produces. IgG occurs naturally in colostrum, and its content can vary significantly per source. That's why this colostrum is standardized to a minimum of 30% IgG. Standardization means that the manufacturer guarantees a fixed lower limit, so that each capsule has a predictable content instead of a variable amount. In short: you know what you're getting. What many people don't know: currently, there is no authorized European health claim for colostrum. Therefore, we only describe what it is and how it is made, not what it would do. The percentage of IgG thus says something about the composition of this product, nothing more.

From first milk to capsule

The journey from fresh colostrum to a capsule requires careful processing. The colostrum is dried into powder under monitored conditions, so that its natural composition remains as intact as possible. It is then put into hard capsules, without unnecessary additives or fillers. Each batch is produced under EU quality standards and tested before leaving the factory. This ensures consistent quality from pot to pot. Important to reiterate: this product contains milk and lactose and is therefore not suitable for people with a milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance. The capsule form makes intake simple, as you swallow it with a glass of water.

Capsule or powder

Colostrum also exists as a loose powder, and the question of which form is more convenient often arises. The difference is not in the substance itself, as it is the same in both. It's in the convenience. A capsule is tasteless and requires no weighing: two capsules provide a fixed 1000 mg, ready. Colostrum powder itself has a somewhat distinct, slightly tart taste, and that's not pleasant for everyone. On the other hand, powder can be dosed more flexibly and is often more economical per gram. For those who want a fixed daily amount without hassle, the capsule is practical. A pot contains 120 capsules, and at two per day, it lasts for exactly 60 days. This makes it easy to make it a regular routine.

In summary: colostrum is the first milk from cattle, here standardized to a minimum of 30% IgG and portioned at 1000 mg per two capsules. A pot of 120 capsules lasts two months, and thanks to the capsule form, you don't have to weigh or taste anything.
