Understanding Colostrum Quality
Alright, let's unravel the mystery of what makes high-quality colostrum.
It's not just about finding any colostrum supplement; it's about finding the best colostrum supplement for you.
Research indicates that gentle processing (think cold extraction) of colostrum supplements retain up to 90% of bioactive benefits[1].
But it's not just about what's in it; it's also about what's not. You want colostrum that's free from unnecessary additives or harsh processing methods.
It's all about keeping it pure, potent, and as close to nature as possible. Remember, when it comes to colostrum, quality is queen!
Ethical Sourcing and Production of Colostrum
When it comes to sourcing colostrum, geography matters.
U.S. farms adhere to stringent ethical and quality standards.
This includes prioritizing calf health, ensuring they receive the vital colostrum they need before any is collected for supplements.
Multiple studies support the fact that dairy cows naturally produce more colostrum than a single calf requires[2][3][4].
This excess production allows for the ethical collection of colostrum without compromising the nutritional needs of the newborn calf.
Brands like myGloh, sourcing strictly from the US, ensure high-quality, ethically sourced colostrum.
This commitment not only supports calf health but also guarantees a premium product for consumers.
Ethical sourcing from the US means higher standards for animal welfare and product quality – a win-win for all!
