Colostrum Powder 30% IgG from Osavi
This Osavi colostrum powder is pure bovine colostrum, standardized to 30% immunoglobulins G (IgG). Colostrum is the very first milk a cow produces after calving. Osavi extracts this powder from that first milking, within twelve hours, and dries it into a fine powder without any further additives. Dissolve one scoop per day in milk or water. For those looking for a pure colostrum product with a consistent, standardized composition.
What colostrum precisely is
Colostrum is the first nutrition a newborn calf receives from its mother, in the first hours after birth. It is thicker and different in composition from regular milk. Naturally, colostrum contains a mix of proteins, including immunoglobulins, as well as fats, milk sugars, and other components also found in milk. This powder comes from cattle, which is called bovine colostrum in English. Because it is made from milk, it naturally contains milk protein and lactose. Good to know: this product is therefore not suitable if you have a cow's milk allergy or are severely lactose intolerant.
Colostrum and regular milk, the difference
A cow produces colostrum only in the first days after calving; after that, she starts producing regular milk. The big difference lies in the composition. Colostrum is more concentrated and naturally contains more proteins, including the immunoglobulins to which this product is standardized. Regular milk is thinner and contains proportionally more milk sugar. The fact that colostrum is only available for such a short period also explains why it is a more expensive raw material than regular milk. Colostrum itself is often somewhat more yellowish and creamier in color than regular milk, and this is reflected in the powder. In this powder, the milk has been further dried, so you can store it for a long time and prepare it yourself when it suits you.
Standardized to 30% IgG
The word immunoglobulins sounds technical, but they are simply a type of protein naturally found in colostrum. IgG is the most common form. Osavi standardizes this powder to 30% IgG, meaning that each serving contains a fixed amount of these proteins. This is the difference with colostrum where the content can vary per batch. Because the harvest takes place within twelve hours after calving, the natural content of these components remains high. This way, you know exactly what you are getting with every scoop.
Powder you prepare yourself
This is
colostrum in powder form, not a capsule. You stir a scoop of 1.2 grams into 200 ml of milk or water, preferably in the morning. The 100-gram jar provides approximately 83 servings, so it lasts a long time. The powder is pure: it contains no fillers, sweeteners, or other excipients, only the colostrum itself. What many people don't know: colostrum has traditionally been used as a food, and bovine colostrum is a well-known source. The taste is mild and slightly milky, making it easy to stir into a glass of milk, a smoothie, or just water. A whisk or shaker helps prevent lumps. With a powder, you decide how you take it and how strong you prepare it. In short: pure colostrum powder, standardized to 30% IgG, which you simply stir into a drink.
