Traditional peoples, Native Americans, and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual. For instance, the traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Similarly, consuming the colostrum, or first milk of a mother animal, was believed to provide the person with protection, strength, and overall health.

Packed with bioactive compounds, grass-fed colostrum promotes a healthy gut microbiome. It contains essential nutrients that nourish the intestinal lining, supporting optimal digestive function and nutrient absorption.

Rich in antibodies, immunoglobulins, and growth factors, colostrum helps enhance your immune response.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, our Grass-Fed Colostrum Stick Packs aid in faster recovery. The growth factors present in colostrum assist in repairing and rejuvenating muscles, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall athletic performance.

Many people look to "like supports like" while neglecting the very fundamental nourishment that governs our biology, health, and well-being. It's no wonder that so many people successfully support immune system health, boost their overall health and well-being, increase their muscle mass, and even generate a more youthful appearance by simply nourishing their bodies with nature’s first food.

There are many ancestral records of praise given for colostrum throughout history. For thousands of years Ayurvedic medical practitioners have used colostrum for its healing benefits, and in India, cows are still considered sacred animals. Hieroglyphic texts show that colostrum was used by the Ancient Egyptians as well... There is a well-known image of Hathor, the cow goddess, and symbol of rebirth, where she is depicted suckling the Pharaoh, offering her colostrum as the elixir of metamorphosis to confer immortality upon the king.

Our ancestors knew that colostrum was a sacred gift of ultimate nutrition, but only recently have we conducted modern research to uphold their ancestral wisdom. Colostrum is so intricate, scientists are still unraveling this golden web. 

Grass Fed Beef Colostrum is a complex, whole-food ancestral nutrition source composed of the following (5):

Immune Factors

Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM): The primary immune factors in colostrum. 

PRPs (Proline-rich Polypeptides): Shown to help regulate the thymus gland (the body's central command for the immune system). PRPs can both stimulate a weakened immune system and/or balance an overactive immune system. 

Lactoferrin: An iron-binding protein with antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and many other properties.

Glycoproteins: (protease and trypsin inhibitors): Protect the immune and growth factors in colostrum from destruction by the digestive juices in the stomach and intestinal tract. 

Lactalbumins: Lactalbumin has been shown in vulnerable subjects to raise brain serotonin activity, reduce cortisol concentration, and improve mood under stress. 

Cytokines, Interleukins, Interferon, and Lymphokines: Chemicals that are involved in cell-to-cell communication, antiviral activity and regulation, and intensity of immune responses. 

Cytokines: Increase T-cell activity and stimulate the production of immunoglobulins. One cytokine, interleukin-10, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that has been shown to have a profound effect on pain relief.

Lysozyme: Helps protect the body from bacterial infections. 

Growth Factors

Epithelial Growth Factor (EGF): EGF is instrumental in protecting and maintaining the skin. Along with the other growth factors in colostrum, EGF can stimulate normal skin growth and repair cellular tissue. 

Insulin-like Growth Factor I and II (IGF-I & IGF-II): IGF I & II are the most abundant growth factors in colostrum. They affect how the body uses fat, protein, and sugar. IGF-I is one of the only substances known to stimulate the repair and growth of DNA and RNA, making it one of the most powerful anti-aging substances. IGF-I has been clinically proven to help increase lean muscle mass and may help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. 

Transforming Growth Factors A & B (TGF A & B): TGF stimulates the proliferation of cells in connective tissue and assists in the formation of bone and cartilage. It is also showing promise as a therapeutic agent in bone and wound healing. TGF can help repair tissue and may support the development of the growth of the lining of the gut. 

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): PDGF has been shown to help with cell division in connective tissue, smooth muscle, and fibroblasts.

Vitamins and Minerals

Colostrum is more than a supplement — it is the primary food for every newborn mammal. Its extraordinary combination of vitamins and minerals are naturally occurring and in perfect combination. 

Amino acids:

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins that are found in colostrum.

Virtually no lactose:

Lactose is present in trace amounts in colostrum. During the first 24 hours of production, the colostrum has the lowest levels of lactose. Most people with lactose intolerance can tolerate Grass Fed Beef Colostrum with no side effects, and since the regular use of colostrum helps bolster the intestinal wall, it can help minimize food allergies. 

Our ancient ancestors intuitively knew the benefits of bovine colostrum for newborns, as well as for people of all ages. Through modern studies, we now have the science to prove that bovine colostrum may provide us with greater benefits than human colostrum. This is due to a difference in the placenta of humans and cows. The human placenta allows the passage of immunoglobulin G (IgG), which is responsible for establishing systemic immunity, from mother to fetus. This means that a human baby is born with an immune system that is ready to defend the newborn against infection. 

The placenta of the cow, however, does not allow the passage of IgG from mother to fetus. When the calf is born, it is completely unprotected from infection and needs the IgG in the mother’s colostrum to survive. Thus, bovine colostrum contains predominantly IgG (over 85% of total immunoglobulin), while human colostrum contains predominantly immunoglobulin A (IgA), which is designed for local immunity and is intended to help the newborn’s immune system handle infections locally in the gut rather than establish systemic immunity. IgG, because it can pass immunity to a specific pathogen (disease-causing microorganism) from one individual to another, is therefore of much more benefit to humans past the stage of infancy.

For many generations, our ancestors have carried on the sacred ritual of celebrating the birth of a calf by consuming colostrum. There are even a number of present-day cultures that carry on the traditions of our ancestors... Today in Kenya, Masai tribesmen drink bovine colostrum by the liter. Cows are considered their most important form of wealth, and they even sing songs of praise to colostrum in recognition of the health it brings them. In England and Scandinavia, colostrum is a traditional tonic and folk remedy given to the entire family in the spring to keep them healthy for the entire year. The first milking of a cow following calving is traditionally made into a pudding called beestings, to celebrate the birth and promote good health.

Recently, farmers and scientists have rediscovered the power of this superfood and its healing benefits, resurfacing a hidden ancestral gem and presenting it back to the modern world. The process of collecting colostrum has greatly evolved since the days of gathering the golden liquid into clay pots...

Our Grass Fed Beef Colostrum retains ancestral properties that are otherwise absent in the modern world...

Our Grass Fed Beef Colostrum is collected within the first 24 hours of calving, as this is essential for obtaining the richest source. The calves' needs are always met first — this is crucial to the health and immunity of the calf, as well as the preservation of the herd. Cows produce more colostrum than the calf will drink, so there is an abundance to be shared and we are not taking anything away from the calf.

Our Grass Fed Beef Colostrum is 100% whole and intact, exactly as designed by nature, nothing added... nothing removed. It provides all the essentials to thrive... it's loaded with immune factors, growth factors, protective proteins, cell-signaling lipids, and loads of fat-soluble activators. With such an elegant design, it makes me wonder why some modern-day manufactures fractionate their colostrum. That's right, someone got the idea to remove the nourishing fat in order to raise the percentages of "other" highly publicized components. Fractionated colostrum is not in harmony with nature's 150 million year design.

It should be noted that the fat in colostrum is not “just fat” per se. It contains an array of special-purpose lipids, such as gangliosides, which are essential for nerve health and brain function.

A mother cow produces the richest colostrum immediately after she gives birth and continues to produce her golden gift for up to 24 hours, then her colostrum begins to transition to milk. Most modern-day colostrums are not collected, nor processed, in a way to produce high efficacy. Many farmers will continue to collect "colostrum" from their cows for a few days after a calf is born. Any milk that is collected 24 hours after birth only contains a small amount of colostrum and is not as potent as true first-day colostrum.

Our Grass Fed Beef Colostrum is a whole-food dietary supplement that provides Grass Fed Beef Colostrum within the ultimate food matrix. The suggested use is one to three packets a day or as directed by a healthcare professional.

As it relates to little ones, our Ancestral Supplements are 100% pure. Many of our customers give our products to their babies, toddlers, and teens... For children under 10, use half a packet.

Most customers tolerate our supplements without incident; however, approximately 5 to 10% of customers (usually with an autoimmune condition) may experience a detoxification reaction. Detoxification reactions go by many different names — including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions, or Herxheimer reactions. Hallmark symptoms include nausea, headache, lethargy, dizziness, and other flu-like symptoms. In this instance, detoxification reactions are generally an indication that detoxification pathways in the body are back online... Cells suddenly have an opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of stored toxins, metabolic wastes, pathogens, and unwanted material.

A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size. If you know you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, you may wish to start slow when adding this product to your current regimen. Tolerability can be greatly improved by starting with half a packet.

If you know that you're ultra-sensitive to supplements, email us and we'll do everything we can to help.

Okay, you're convinced! You're going to start incorporating like-supports-like nourishment into your routine because, well... you're educated now... you understand, just as our early ancestors did, that they provide superlative health benefits that are missing in our modern diets. The next step is sourcing it. It's important that you source the highest quality, because not all organs, glands, and colostrums are created equal. Consider the source.

Colostrum is the primary milk produced by every mammalian mother within the first few hours following her infant’s birth. It is often referred to as “liquid gold” not only because of its rich golden color tones, but because it is the fundamental food that newborn mammals actually depend upon for their survival. This highly concentrated superfood provides vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that form the building blocks necessary to develop a healthy immune system. In nature, every mammal receives colostrum as their first food and we too can share and benefit from this primal birthright…

Colostrum is one of the richest pillars of antibodies and amino acids, used for centuries to support immune and growth factors during the most significant stages of life... our earliest. Filled with nutrient-dense vitamins, minerals, and cofactors, Colostrum has truly set the foundation of fundamental support for mother nature's newest additions.

Our infant brethren are not the only mammalians that have discovered the many benefits "liquid gold" has to offer. Grass Fed Beef Colostrum contains compounds that help the immune system and muscle growth for even those in their wisest years. Colostrum can also support thymus function, boost digestive health, support a healthy inflammatory response, and improve muscle tone.
