Frequently Asked Questions
Product and Sourcing
Colostrum is the nutrient-dense “first milk” produced by cows after birth, naturally rich in immunoglobulins, growth factors, and bioactive compounds that help support gut barrier integrity and immune system balance. We use colostrum as a foundational ingredient because the gut influences how the entire body absorbs nutrients, recovers, and adapts.
Colostrum is the first form of nourishment produced by mammal mothers for babies. It is naturally rich in bioactive compounds that support foundational wellness, especially gut integrity and immune function.
- Colostrum supports gut health and gut barrier integrity
- Colostrum contains immunoglobulins (like IgG), growth factors, and bioactive peptides that help maintain the integrity of the gut lining. A healthy gut barrier supports digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall resilience.
- Promotes immune system balance
- Colostrum naturally contains immunoglobulins and immune-supporting compounds that help strengthen your body’s first line of defense and support everyday immune resilience.
- Encourages recovery and cellular repair
- Growth factors found in colostrum help support tissue repair and cellular regeneration, making it a popular supplement for active individuals and those focused on overall vitality.
- Supports nutrient absorption
- By helping maintain gut lining integrity, colostrum may support efficient nutrient uptake, helping your body get more from the foods and supplements you consume.
- Provides bioavailable proteins and peptides
- Colostrum contains a spectrum of naturally occurring peptides and amino acids in a highly bioavailable form, designed to work with your body.
- Not just functional, foundational
- Unlike supplements that target one isolated outcome, colostrum works at the foundation, supporting the systems that support everything else.
Each of our products are designed so that one scoop or stick pack represents the recommended intake each day, which includes 3 g of colostrum, and for blended products, includes 3 g of colostrum, plus a full serving of the additional ingredient.
Our colostrum is sourced from carefully selected US dairy farms that are third-party FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement) audited. We focus on clean environments and high standards to preserve the natural integrity of colostrum from farm to formulation, ensuring quality nutrition and responsible collection practices.
Bovita Health colostrum is sourced from US dairy farms where cows are raised on forage-rich diets that include grass, alfalfa, and silage. Their feeding programs are carefully overseen by veterinarians and dairy nutritionists to support animal health and the natural integrity of the colostrum. Because there is no regulatory definition of “grass-fed” is the US, we focus instead on responsible sourcing, strong farm partnerships, and complete transparency. Our priority is simple: healthy animals and colostrum you can trust.
Our calf-first commitment means every calf is fully nourished first. Only after each calf’s colostrum needs are met do we carefully collect the surplus colostrum to produce our high-quality supplements.
Yes. Our collection practices prioritize calf health, humane animal care, and responsible farm management to ensure the ingredient is obtained with integrity at every step.
Whole colostrum contains its natural fat fraction, while skimmed colostrum removes excess fat to concentrate the bioactive proteins and immune compounds that support gut health. We intentionally use skimmed colostrum to improve stability, mixability, and formulation precision for a smoother daily experience while preserving the bioactives that matter most.
Processing and Quality
Our colostrum is carefully processed using gentle, low-temperature methods to protect its sensitive bioactive compounds while meeting rigorous safety standards. Each batch is carefully handled to preserve functional integrity, so the nutrients and compounds that support gut health, nutrient absorption, and overall wellness remain active.
Yes! Our colostrum is third-party tested in accredited labs for purity and consistency. We don’t just aim to meet industry standards; we aim to exceed them. Our testing helps verify that what’s on the label is what’s in the jar, so you can use it daily with confidence.
Our colostrum comes from responsibly raised cows under strict veterinary supervision. Any necessary antibiotic treatments adhere to strict withdrawal guidelines. The colostrum is then third-party tested to confirm it’s free from residues, giving you a clean, safe, premium product every time.
Yes. Our colostrum batches are routinely tested by third party and verified to be free from contaminants, including glyphosate, heavy metals, and pesticides.
Usage and Nutrition
We recommend taking 1 scoop of Bovita colostrum daily with 6-8oz of cold, cool, or lukewarm liquid, ideally in the morning to help set your gut up for digestive balance. Shake or stir until fully dissolved.
To maintain bioactive integrity, do not mix with hot liquids.
Yes. Our colostrum mixes easily into water, milk, juice, smoothies or any cold, cool, or lukewarm beverage of your preference. Just avoid hot liquids as temperatures above 140F will start to denature the sensitive bioactives.
Children’s digestive and nutritional needs differ, so we recommend consulting with a pediatrician prior to use.
Everyone’s pregnancy and nursing journeys are unique to them. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider prior to use.
Efficacy and Benefits
Bovita Health colostrum can help your body perform at its best every day. By supporting gut health, it helps your body absorb nutrients more efficiently, maintain digestive balance, and strengthen immune system resilience. Many people notice better energy, relief of digestive discomfort, recovery, and overall wellness.
We use high-quality US sourced colostrum as the foundation and build on it with science-backed ingredients to support nutrient absorption, digestive balance, and daily wellness. It’s a complete, proactive approach to supporting your body, not just reacting when things go off balance.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store in a cool, dry place like a pantry or shelf in a climate-controlled room. Keep the lid tightly sealed to block out air and humidity, which can degrade bioactives over time.
Our colostrum has a 2-year shelf life from the date of manufacture found on the back of packaging when stored as directed. The products are formulated to maintain full potency and freshness throughout this period.
No refrigeration is needed. Our product is stable at room temperature when kept cool, dry, and properly sealed.
