Colostrum is produced by all mammals within the first 48-72 hours after giving birth. This is why it is commonly referred to as “first-milk!” It serves as our initial source of nutrition, providing all the necessary nutrients for our bodies to flourish. Over the course of 300 million years, its crucial role has been to safeguard and fortify the mucosal barriers in infants until their own barriers fully develop.

NEKTR Grass-Fed Bovine Colostrum is specifically from cows – it has a yellowish color and thicker consistency compared to regular milk. There are thousands of research studies that have been published, detailing the advantages of bovine colostrum and its capacity to enhance health throughout various life stages. The consumption of bovine colostrum has even shown fewer incidences of respiratory tract, gastrointestinal infections and faster muscle recovery time, decreased inflammation and higher energy levels in both children and adults.

Because of NEKTR Colostrum’s purity it can tend to clump. It does not have additional chemical processing agents (like other products on the market) to make it more dissolvable. For us, our mission is to make the PUREST form of colostrum to deliver the highest bioavailability and potency to you. With that said, members of our NEKTR community have told us they prefer to pour NEKTR Colostrum powder directly into their mouth. Others use a frother so they can enjoy it more dissolved.

Yes, however, each serving of NEKTR colostrum is 3 grams and has less than 11% lactose in it. Many people, even those who are sensitive to lactose, find they can use colostrum powder no problem. Of course, everyone is different so if you have milk allergies or severe lactose intolerance, it’s best to consult with your healthcare provider.

No, we do not remove fat or lactose from our colostrum. Other brands on the markets remove fat or lactose to manipulate certain components, but we believe in preserving the natural composition of colostrum for its full benefits.

Hot liquids - no. Warm liquids - yes! NEKTR colostrum is heat sensitive so it should not be mixed with any hot beverages/ foods. High temperatures can damage the bioactive components in colostrum which in return reduces its effectiveness in improving health benefits. Instead, add it to warm beverages below 140°F to maintain its full effectiveness.

--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!

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.
