Bovine colostrum powder is the easiest form of colostrum to fit into a normal day: one small scoop, stirred into something you already drink. For Colostrum+™, the label is short and clear. The Colostrum+ label says to take one scoop (2.55 g) daily with 8 ounces of water or your favorite hot or cold recipe. This guide covers what bovine colostrum powder is, the easiest ways to mix it, what is in each scoop and who should check with a provider first.

- A 76.5 g container holds 30 scoops: one month at one scoop a day.
- Colostrum+ contains milk, so it is not suitable for anyone avoiding dairy.
What is bovine colostrum powder?
Colostrum is the first milk a cow produces in the days after calving. It is richer than ordinary milk in proteins such as immunoglobulins (antibodies like IgG) and lactoferrin. Bovine colostrum powder is that first milk, gently dried into a fine powder so it can be measured by the scoop and stirred into a drink.
Research reviews describe bovine colostrum as a concentrated source of immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and growth factors, and it has been studied for athletic recovery and for gut and immune health. Our explainer What Is Colostrum? goes deeper into the science. This article is about the practical part: how to actually take it.
How to take Colostrum+: the label in plain words
The directions come down to three points:
- One scoop a day. The scoop is included in the container, and one level scoop is one serving.
- About 8 ounces of liquid. Water is the default, but the label also allows your favorite hot or cold recipe.
- Every day. Like most food-based supplements, it is a daily habit rather than an occasional extra.
One 76.5 g container of Colostrum+ holds 30 scoops, a 30-day supply at one scoop a day.
Five easy ways to mix bovine colostrum powder
The powder has a mild, lightly milky taste that fades into most drinks. Try one of these:
- Plain water. The simplest option. Stir well or shake in a lidded bottle.
- Morning coffee or tea. Stir the scoop into your cup the way you would a creamer.
- A smoothie. Blend it in with fruit, greens and your usual base.
- A protein shake. Add it to the shaker before the liquid.
- Oatmeal or yogurt. Stir it in after cooking for a breakfast you eat anyway.
Mixing tip: to avoid clumps, put the scoop in your cup first, add a splash of liquid and stir it into a smooth paste, then top up with the rest.
Morning or evening?
The label sets no required time of day, so choose the moment you are least likely to forget. Many people like it in the morning, stirred into coffee. Others prefer a smoothie after a workout or a warm drink in the evening. What matters most is the same anchor each day, so the habit runs on autopilot.
What is in each scoop of Colostrum+
| Per 1-scoop serving | Amount |
|---|---|
| Colostrum powder | 2,000 mg |
| IgG (from the colostrum powder) | 400 mg |
| Marshmallow root powder (Althaea officinalis) | 500 mg |
| Bovine lactoferrin | 50 mg |
| Calories / protein | 10 / 1 g |
Each scoop delivers 2,000 mg of colostrum powder with 400 mg of IgG, plus 500 mg of marshmallow root and 50 mg of bovine lactoferrin. Every amount is printed on the label, and no other ingredients are listed. Colostrum+ supports healthy immune function, supports gut and digestive health, and supports cognitive wellness and focus.*
Building colostrum into a gut-friendly routine
A scoop of colostrum works best as one part of a routine that already looks after your gut. The habits with the most support behind them are not glamorous, but they add up:
- Fiber from food. Vegetables, fruit, beans, oats and whole grains feed the bacteria that live in your gut.
- Fermented foods. Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi with live cultures add variety.
- Regular meals and enough fluid. A steady rhythm and a full water bottle make digestion easier.
- Sleep and movement. Both shape how you feel day to day, gut included.
If you also take a daily probiotic such as Probiotic 40+, the two can share a routine: colostrum is a food-based powder, while a probiotic adds live bacteria. Follow each label as written. Our guide to daily gut health habits pulls the food side together.
Who should check with a provider first
Colostrum+ contains milk, so it is not suitable for anyone avoiding dairy. It is a bovine product, so it is not vegan or vegetarian. The label also says: if you are pregnant, nursing, allergic, have a medical condition or are taking any medications, consult a doctor before using this or any other dietary supplement. Do not use it if the safety seal is damaged or missing, and keep it in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.
On the plus side for many diets, it is gluten-free, sugar-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free and grass-fed.
Tested every batch
Every batch of Colostrum+ is third-party tested for purity and potency by an outside lab, and it is manufactured in USA with globally sourced materials in an NSF-certified, GMP-certified, FDA-registered facility. Read how that works on Our Standards, and see how to read a certificate of analysis.
Frequently asked questions about bovine colostrum powder
Can I mix Colostrum+ into hot coffee?
Yes. The label says to take it with 8 ounces of water or your favorite hot or cold recipe, so coffee and tea both work. Stir it into a small splash first to keep it smooth.
Does bovine colostrum powder taste like milk?
It has a mild, lightly milky taste. In coffee, a smoothie or a shake most people barely notice it. In plain water it tastes a little like thin milk.
Can I take more than one scoop a day?
Stick to the label: one scoop daily. If you are thinking about taking more, talk to your healthcare provider first.
How long does one container last?
Each container holds 30 servings, so it lasts 30 days at one scoop a day.
Is Colostrum+ suitable if I avoid dairy?
No. Colostrum is the first milk of the cow, and the label states it contains milk. If you are sensitive to dairy, ask your provider before trying any colostrum product.
