Info: 120 Capsules
Immune factors in colostrum have been shown to help the body fight off harmful invaders such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeasts and fungi. Each factor plays a specific role in our body's defense against these attackers. Studies indicate bovine colostrum can be used to protect against traveler's diarrhea or childhood infectious diarrhea. It's also been found to help improve intestinal barrier function (i.e., leaky gut), especially in athletes.

Product Notes:
New Roots Herbal's Colostrum is a bovine-sourced capsule rich in proteins, vitamins, probiotics, and immunoglobulins. Colostrum, which is the first milk produced by mammals (generally 24 to 48 hours after giving birth), has been sourced by New Roots from the U.S. southwest. It is supplemented here with a probiotic formula plus the prebiotic inulin to nurture them as they help reconstitute your gut flora with healthy bacteria.
New Roots Colostrum is processed under low-heat, which allows the capsules to maintain their potency. In addition, it's sourced from cows that are pasture-fed and are pesticide, herbicide, hormone and antibiotic-free.
Often used to boost the immune system, bovine colostrum may also help heal injuries, repair damage to the nervous system, improve mood, and kill harmful bacteria and fungi. In some cases, it has also been used as a treatment for colon inflammation, also known as colitis.
