Yes, the amount of lactose in the “first milking” colostrum is so small that it can be taken even by those with lactose intolerance. In many cases, the colostrum heals the intestinal wall and reduces many food allergies including allergic reactions to dairy products.

For best results and ongoing benefits, we recommend adding colostrum as a food supplement to your daily diet to support the immune system and prevent infections and illness. Colostrum helps rebuild tissues that breakdown as a normal part of aging. Taking colostrum as a daily supplement prolongs longevity and increases energy levels.

The amount of colostrum recommended varies from person to person. Most professionals suggest a maintenance dose of 4 to 6 capsules or 2 large spoonfuls of powder twice daily, but if you’re recovering from an injury you may want to start off taking more than this. Also, if you feel a cold or flu coming on you may want to up your dosage to help you recover quicker and relieve your symptoms. People with chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome and athletes and body builders may take 10 – 15 capsules or up to 40 gr of colostrum powder daily. Colostrum is completely natural and can be consumed safely in any quantity.

Colostrum works in the digestive tract so that all substances taken internally (food, herbs, other supplements and medications) may become more bio-available to the body and have a more pronounced effect, so pay attention to how you feel and adjust accordingly. If you are under a doctor’s care for a medical condition, consult your doctor before adding colostrum to your diet.
