Colostrum

Bovine colostrum
with standardised IgG content

A natural source of bioactive components

We offer bovine colostrum with an IgG content of 20% to 50%. Colostrum, the first milk produced by cows after calving, is a high-quality dairy raw material rich in immunoglobulins (IgG), bioactive proteins, growth factors and other naturally occurring components that support the body’s development and function.

Colostrum is the first milk a cow produces after calving and a natural source of nutrients and bioactive substances. Thanks to its unique composition, colostrum is used as an ingredient in dietary supplements, functional food and specialised nutrition products. We offer several IgG concentration levels, so the raw material can be matched to the requirements of the formulation and the expected parameters of the final product.

High quality and a transparent specification

Our colostrum is sourced from high-quality colostrum from the Netherlands and processed by Bionatin, an experienced colostrum manufacturer. The product is freeze-dried, i.e. dried at low temperature and reduced pressure. This method limits the impact of high temperature on the natural protein components of the raw material.

We offer four basic colostrum variants that differ in their declared content of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in total protein: 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%.

When comparing colostrum specifications from different manufacturers, pay close attention to how the parameters are presented. The IgG percentage alone is not always directly comparable, because manufacturers may use different reference bases.

In particular, check:

1. What does the declared immunoglobulin value mean?
Does the manufacturer state the content of IgG or of total immunoglobulins (Ig)? These are different parameters and should not be treated as equivalent.

2. What is the IgG content related to?
The value may be expressed as a percentage of:

  • the total mass of the product (“as is”),
  • dry matter,
  • or total protein content.

A declaration such as “30% IgG” alone is therefore not enough to compare two products properly. You need to check the basis to which the result refers.

For our products, the IgG content is stated transparently, with a clearly indicated reference basis, allowing correct interpretation of the parameters and a real comparison of the different product variants.

Where a specification does not state what the declared IgG content refers to, this value should be verified directly with the manufacturer before making a comparison. Without information on the reference basis, the IgG percentage alone can lead to wrong conclusions about the actual immunoglobulin content of the product.
