Q: What is bovine colostrum?

Bovine Colostrum is nature’s most potent form of nourishment. It’s an all-in-one daily superfood produced by cows within the first 24 hours after giving birth. This is why it is commonly referred to as "nature's first food" or “first-milk!” It serves as the initial source of nutrition, packed with bioactive compounds to work alongside your body’s native ecosystem to strengthen your immune system, protect your gut, enhance skin & hair barriers, support muscle recovery, and fortify brain health.

Bovine Colostrum is nature’s most potent form of nourishment. It’s an all-in-one daily superfood produced by cows within the first 24 hours after giving birth.

Question 2

Do you remove anything from your colostrum?

Accepted Answer

No! Our colostrum is whole and in its most natural, unaltered form - JUST AS NATURE INTENDED. We do not skim or strip any of its essential nutrients because that would be degrading its potency.

You will notice the color of our colostrum is yellow which is the natural color of fresh colostrum! The majority of colostrum on the market right now is a white color meaning it is overly processed which strips essential nutrients from the colostrum as a result.

Question 3

Are detox symptoms normal when starting colostrum?

Accepted Answer

When starting a whole food like colostrum, your body might begin a natural detoxification process, where it releases stored toxins.

Some users start with half a scoop a day and increase to 1 scoop a day as tolerated! Go at your own pace.

These mild symptoms are a sign that your body is cleansing itself and typically subside within a few days as you continue with at the same dosage. Rest assured, your body is working to eliminate these toxins, and you could even be addressing underlying issues like a leaky gut without realizing it!

Question 4

Can I mix colostrum with hot liquids?

Accepted Answer

Hot liquids - no. Warm liquids - yes!

Under 140°F is the rule of thumb. (A warm cup of coffee ☕️)

Too hot can damage the bioactive nutrients. You will still benefit from the other nutrients but will not have the full strength of bioactive colostrum.

--Did you know?: The temperature of coffee from a home coffee maker typically ranges between 155°F to 175°F (68°C to 80°C) when it's brewed. This temperature is hotter than the recommended mixing temperature for bovine colostrum of 140ºF. Mixing colostrum with freshly brewed coffee directly from a home coffee pot will be too hot and reduce the effectiveness of the colostrum's bioactive components. Make sure to let the coffee cool down prior to mixing. Cheers!

Question 5

Can I give colostrum to my pet?

Accepted Answer

NEKTR Colostrum is safe for pets and is a great supplement for your pets diet.

The antibodies, growth factors, and other nutrients that are naturally found in colostrum can help your pet’s overall gut health and immune system similarly to how they benefit us, humans.

If your pet is sensitive to food or allergic to milk, consult your vet prior to giving them colostrum.

Question 6

Why does NEKTR Colostrum sometimes clump in liquids?

Accepted Answer

That's the raw purity of our colostrum on display!!

Our colostrum has NO additional fillers or chemical processing agents to make it more dissolvable.

Our mission is to provide you the PUREST form of colostrum to deliver the highest bioavailability and potency.

With that said, members of our community find using an electric blender or frother helps mix it in their favorite drink while others prefer to dry scoop it!
