1. What is Bovine Colostrum Powder?
Bovine colostrum is the first milk produced by cows postpartum, rich in immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), growth factors, lactoferrin, and bioactive peptides. Unlike regular milk, colostrum contains highly concentrated nutrients and immune-supporting proteins that are sensitive to heat and processing. AIHerba® bovine colostrum powder is low-heat processed and spray-dried to maintain biological activity, making it ideal for functional foods, dietary supplements, and specialized formulations.
