What Is Colostrum and Why Should Moms Care?
In case you haven’t heard of it, colostrum is nature’s original superfood. It is a nutrient-rich first form of milk produced by mammals after birth. Bovine colostrum (from cows) is packed with antibodies, growth factors, immune boosters, gut-healing compounds, vitamins, and minerals.
For moms dealing with fatigue, brain fog, bloating, or simply trying to gain some energy, bovine colostrum can be a valuable addition. It can be an ultimate reboot for your worn-out body.
