CANNOT RECCOMEND ENOUGH!!
This stuff is incredible. I’ve struggled with constipation, and this stuff keeps me regular. I only take 2 a night! Also.. cannot remember the last time I was sick. I’ve been taking this for about a year now. Even when my whole family is sick, I may not get more than a sniffle. This stuff is a lifesaver. It works amazing for my dad as well.

Colostrum for Imune system
We have been taking colostrum for 38 years and have used it as our go to therapeutic. We have not had to go to a doctor since 1979. The colostrum boosts our immune system so that we do not have to take antibiotics. Your colostrum is the best one on the market. Thank you for your good product.

Works for diarrhea
I discovered this product at a local store while looking for something to stop chronic diarrhea, an employee of the store recommended it, right there I took 2 capsules and the very next day I had a semi solid evacuation in months. I was so impressed, so since then I take 2-6 daily depending on what I eat, my diarrhea is gone but I have also changed my diet dramatically and avoid all junk. It’s not a miracle cure but it helps tremendously.

Took 2 a day and had no stomach issues eating internationally
While traveling SE Asia I took two of these every morning. Ate from street vendors all day long including ice and fresh fruit. Did this for nearly a month with no problems. On one day stomach felt a little off so took 2 extra in the evening and fixed me right up.

This supplement really works!
I’ve never written a review for anything on Amazon, but I felt strongly enough that I decided to write something. I’ve tried many things to normalize my gut but nothing really worked very well until now. From the first time I took it, my GI issues settled down. Now I haven’t had bloating and upset for 3 weeks. It’s amazing. I haven’t felt this great in years. Great job Symbiotics.

Recommend for sick Cats!!
I actually buy this for both of my cats. I give one capsule to each cat every morning as “milk” and it has made a huge difference in their health. If I don’t give it to them, both are back to being ill. My male mane coon cat has constant diarrhea and doesn’t have much of an appetite, was tested and had “pancreatitis” at the vet… after being on this he is hungry all the time, his stool is regular and his coat is amazing. My female siamese tabby cat constantly wants to eat then vomits, has bloody stools and thyroid issues – when on this regularly, her labs are great – no thyroid issues at all. Her stools are back to normal too. She does still has some vomiting occasionally and I have to give her Cerenia in a pill pocket, then I up the Colostrum to twice daily and keep her on pate food. Both cats are on wet food only, btw. I give them the Colostrum as milk about 5-10 min before feeding the wet food.

Destroyed my daughters insides
I wanted this to help with my daughter’s (18 years old) digestion. Well it has absolutely destroyed her and I didn’t even realize it was this. She’s been taking this for 2-3 weeks now everyday and a couple days ago I realized the only new thing is this product. Her problems are so much worse. Her acne has gone full blown cystic acne. She has diarrhea everyday. I took her to a doctor and had biopsies done and everything. I had her stop taking this for a couple days and everything has stopped. Cramping , diarrhea or constipation , acne , she’s eating again , and worst of all she has missed so much school and she’s a senior. Poor baby. Idk why this affected her this way but it’s not something she will ever take again and the bottle and money goes into the trash 🙁

Hoping its working!
I’m praying this isnt just a fluke. I started to take this because of my IBS-D symptoms.I think I actually have leaky gut. I’ve been taking this for a little over a week now. I took one cap for the first few days. Glad I did because there was some clean out die off reactions. Then started taking 2 caps in the morning on an empty stomach. I felt really good, and had a lot of energy and motivation! Now also taking one more at night before bed. I sincerely hope its because of this product! I will update again in a few weeks to see if its really this colostrum. So just 4 stars for now.

Helped with Migraine headaches and bloating and Hormornes
I have been taking this product for 10+ years. I used to get Migraine headaches and felt bloated and my hormornes were imbalanced. It was not normal. A friend introduced me to this product and it has helped me prevent headaches, as I feel my gut gets cleansed with regular bathroom habits. I cannot complain other than say that if the manufacturer proclaims that the Bovine is from New Zealand cows, but in actuality they are from Orange, California, that is misleading. I hope someone will look into that and confiirm. The product in itself has helped me. Thank you for exchanging your thoughts. I hope this will help others as well.

So far so good
Read about this on a blog for IBSD issues. It took about a week to kick in and so far so good. I don’t do dairy, but this is milk based. No getting around it. However there are so many pluses related to taking this that i will overlook it. I will report back in a month and see how I am doing. Great price and shipped right away.By the way, I am also taking this with a product also purchased on amazon :THORNE RESEARCH – Bacillus Coagulans (formerly Lactobacillus Sporogenes) – 60’sby ThorneThe recommended dose was 2 or 3 of the colostrum and one bacillus on an empty stomach 30 minutes prior to food. Also one colostrum before bed..

For my dog, when she is under stress. Good product, well-priced.
I give this to my dog when she is in heat to help boost her immune system while she is under the stress of estrus. She likes it and licks up the powder without any hesitation. This was recommended to me by several breeders.I also carry it for when we take long car trips and feed it to her then. Last thing I want is a sick dog on a trip.Good, natural help for my precious pup! Highly recommended. My dog is very healthy and I want to keep her that way.

A REALLY IMPORTANT IMMUNE-SYSTEM BOOSTER THAT WORKS.
I have used this product for several years. It comes from the milk of new cow mothers; the milk is loaded with extra great stuff (beyond vitamins and minerals!) to “inoculate” the baby calf against the health threats and perils of this world. And it works on people too! I don’t get even a cold once a year, even though I work in public health and am exposed to MASSIVE germs on a daily basis. Two a day, first thing, on an empty stomach.

Boosted my immune system
Let me first say I used to catch everything and I work in a lab ! I was telling a friend how I was tired of getting sick all the time and feeling blah , she told me about Colostrum plus she said she took it all the time and doesn’t get sick hardly at all . I started taking this in November of 2018 and I can honestly say I haven’t had a cold , this is amazing for me !!!!

Eliminated my chronic sinus condition!!!
I take this product once a day and it has eliminated my chronic sinus condition!My sinus condition began several years ago following the flu. I was treated with antibiotics and steroids several times, without effect. I tried inhalers and allergy meds, netipot, etc. but got little relief. Eventually I had a balloon sinuplasty, but the condition persisted. A sympathetic friend had recommended bovine colostrum several times, even gave me some, which I ignored until trying it as a last resort. Amazing! After a few days my sinus condition was gone. I cannot believe this product is not better known for sinus relief. Give it a try! It’s certainly less invasive than most of the other remedies I tried.

bovine colostrum
I have been taking this bovine colostrum for a week. I take about 6 capsules a day and I also open capsules and put the powder in my mouth. So far, I notice a boost of energy and easier breathing. I really like the taste, to me it taste like a Lorna Doon Cookie. I usually have to take some MiraLax daily but since taking the bovine colostrum, I haven’t had to and I’m more regular then I have been in year’s. So far after a week, that’s the main benefits I’ve had. I did order the powder, I have trouble swallowing the capsules, I hope I like it as well. Being this is a food product with no side effects, I think its a good idea to try this and see if it benefits you in more way’s over time, it can’t hurt you. I have read some other reviews on the Internet that were satisfied with the Symbiotics brand of Colostrum. Amazon so far had the best price on this product.

Raised my estrogen levels 4.5X
This product had an unusual influence on me that I wanted people to be aware of. In the description of this product, it is stated that the cows are not given antibiotics or growth hormone. However, I began feeling imbalanced while taking this product. After three weeks of taking the recommended dose, I was sensing that it was influencing my hormone levels. I went to my doctor to get a blood draw, and sure enough, my estrogen levels had risen to 4.5 times their normal level. I am a 57 year old woman, and I’ve been measuring my hormone levels at least once a year for the last 18 years. I was shocked and stopped ingesting this product for one week. Another blood draw after a week of stopping showed that my estrogen levels were back to normal. I am aware that I may be an anomaly, and at the same time, I doubt many women are compelled to check their estrogen levels after being on this product. All that being said, I gave this product one star because I know when I read reviews about products, I tend to go to either the one star level or the five star level initially. I wanted people to see this review to potentially save others from harmful effects. I have nothing against estrogen, in fact I have been on bioidentical hormone replacement for a long time. I also believe that Colostrum may have many good influences, that are talked about in other reviews. I am currently researching other sources to see if I can find one that would not have such a dramatic influence on estrogen levels. I’ve been told that cows from New Zealand may produce a more pure form of colostrum, but I have yet to personally follow through on this.

I felt terrible for about a week
When I first took this product it started to detox the hell out of me. I felt incredibly tired and sluggish. Nonetheless , I continued on. I felt terrible for about a week. After this initial phase, I started seeing changes in my bathroom habits that were miraculous for me. I went from using the bathroom once a day to at least 2 to 3 times a day. This was all coupled with stomach pains that I have had for years. Certain foods just wouldn’t digest like they used to. After about 2 weeks my stomach pains went away, and I started feeling better. I have tried a lot of different probiotics in the past, but nothing has worked as good as this product for my digestive health. I certainly recommend this product, and I will continue to take it in the future.

Scary
I had the opposite effects of most people. My finger nails became so weak that they were splitting , breaking and are down to nubs. My hair was thinning and I started developing arthritis. I couldn’t figure out what was happening so I started back tracking. I stopped taking this and after about three weeks the problems are slowly subsiding. What a relief. It appears it won’t be permanent. These are going into the trash.

My Precious!
This has helped me in so many ways. It has brought peace to my bowels after experiencing issues post-bariatric surgery. It’s helped me keep my intestinal health in balance. When I’ve gone without it, I can feel the difference within days. I start to lose precious energy, I get tired and lethargic, yet I have difficulty sleeping. I have used it for over a year and, thought it may be a coincidence, I ran out recently and didn’t rush to replace it for a month. This absence precipitated one of the worst colds I have ever had in addition to the return of my abdominal distress. I hadn’t had a cold since I started using it, so… just sayin.’ This last lapse confirmed that I need this in my life. It is a product I simply will not do without ever again.

Seems helpful for dog’s yeast issues.
Bought this for our DOG that has yeast problems in paws, ears, and skin. Read about colostrum benefits on holistic veterinary sites. His condition is definitely better after using this. He gets colostrum, fish oil with omega 3,6,9, and unrefined coconut oil. He gets antifungal/antimicrobial shampoo baths, and grain free diet. Did not want to continue steroid shots, which only lasted 2 weeks anyway, and didn’t trust Apoquel. He’s at least 60%-70% better. Ears are completely well, I clean them with coconut oil on a cotton pad. Skin sores are healed. Still some problems with yeasty paws, but condition is much better.

Awesome immune support
I’ve been using this product consistently for almost a year now.. I work in a high stress environment and am exposed to a lot of different people/germs each day. I used to get sick with a bad head cold every 2 months or so (miserable, I know). Co-workers nagged at me for always being sick (no sick days in my job). I take 2 capsules of colostrum daily, every day, and triple that when I’m feeling run down or feel like something is coming on (as directed). That combined with one packet of Emergen-C daily, and the closest thing I’ve had to being sick in the past year is a sore throat for a day that culminated in a runny nose the next day and stopped after that. That is HUGE for someone like me who used to be in the pits for weeks at a time for each head cold and taking Dayquil Severe like it was my job just to make it through.One other significant difference for me with the use of these colostrum capsules is the healing of an infected nail bed. My thumb nail was lifting off the nail bed, the nail bed was swollen and the nail discolored (yellowish) for about 6-8 months, while I tried every anti fungal and topical treatment the pharmacist and my Dr. recommended to treat “bar rot” (paronychia). Zero improvements. Roughly 6 months after I started taking the colostrum daily, and about a year after whatever the infection started, my thumb is back to normal. I gave up on all the topicals a while ago, and almost forgot about the thumb issue until my mother (a long time advocate of this product) pointed out that this was the only thing I added to my routine that could have contributed to healing my thumb.All that to say, it’s worth trying if you feel like your immune system is not what it should be. Side note: shipping was extremely fast with this order, too!

Better than Botox!
I am a holistic nutritionist and was talking with someone about healing the gut. We were discussing different protocols such as probiotics & L-glutamine, when I mentioned that my stomach still gets really bloated. She then said, “oh no, you’ve got to go right back to basics and start with colostrum it’s the first food we ever had (as babies) and it builds the foundation for everything else”. Well, that of course made sense, so I started taking it. The first thing noticed was that my grey hairs became a lot less noticeable, my hair was also noticeably thicker when I looked at the back of my head in the mirror. I could no longer see my scalp unless I parted my hair with a comb. I also noticed that the frown lines around my mouth became a lot less visible and the skin around my jaw looked a lot firmer. I thought I must be imagining it, but my mum who’s is 65 said the same thing. She said she thought she was putting weight on because the lines were filling out and her face looked a little fuller. Then we thought about how babies have huge full cheeks, and we both had an ah ha moment and laughed. I stopped taking it for a while until I noticed my grey’s were looking prominent and my face not so firm. I took two before bed, and two the next morning. Yesterday I noticed my face looked firmer, and the deep lines at the side of my mouth were much less visible! I honestly couldn’t stop looking in the mirror because this happened in 24 hours! This may not happen the same way for everyone, I’m 46 with a very slim face so every little bit of extra padding helps!

Best product out there…
I’m a bit of a health nut & prefer to go the natural route whenever possible. I work out about 5 days a week weight training & keep fairly lean but I’ve always struggled with stomach issues as I was bombarded with antibiotics as a child with numerous upper respiratory issues (thanks for smoking Mom!). Anyway, after having issues with bloating, bouts of bathroom issues, etc. I did some research & found this is to help the health of your GI tract, immunity & supports muscle growth & sounded like what I needed. Well after a long day of drinking & eating crappy food (Super Bowl!) I came home to this new bottle & took 4 before bed. Well, I know I wasn’t hung over because I may have drank all day but I paced myself but I woke up as sick as ever….sweating through my clothes & sheets & just felt like death…totally different from a hang over. Like the worst flu I’ve ever had in my life. No throwing up just fever, chills, lethargy. Ugh. I actually had to call into work that night & slept most of the day. Anyway I’m sure it was the “die off” they talk about so I suggest either keeping your first dose low, eating right before you take it & take it on a day you don’t have to be anywhere. After all of that I feel like this has really helped my stomach issues (I believe I battle candida overgrowth) & has kept my immunity up to par. Whenever I feel an illness coming I up my dosage of this & also take Nutribiotics Defense Plus–no more antibiotics for me!!

There is NOTHING on the market better for one’s health than Colostrum (mother’s milk)
I have taken it for 20 years. Began after Interferon all but killed me and the doctor said he had nada for me back then. All those shots my hubby had to give me and the interferon, not not the Hep C, was killing me. I weight 80 or so lbs. when I stopped the madness…I began it at 110 lbs. Today at 125…72 years old…and blood tests just taken to test 32 different things….I have nothing remotely out of line…no red flags..no nada…and side note, I did go on another treatment two years ago, no shots this time…and it cured the Hep C. I never once since learning of Symbiotic (the only brand I would ever use) have not taken daily Symbiotic Colostrum…and if your baby or grandbaby has colic add Symbiotic Colostrum…(only Symbiotic) to the formula in the bottle. We did to the grandbabies and all stopped throwing up and they are all healthy. I would imagine this would work just as all for ALL sick people. It brought me back from death as the Interferon was killing me

We only take this when we start to feel like we’re getting sick. You have to do it immediately though. As soon as we feel the slightest of symptoms, we take 5 of these immediately. Take another 5 at bedtime and another 5 the next morning. After 2-3 days of the morning and night routine, any symptoms are usually gone or drastically reduced. Since we’ve been doing this (for close to 20 years, my husband and I rarely ever get colds. This brand is the best out there and we always keep a bottle on hand.

SEE UPDATE FOR CORRECT DOSE INFORMATION. Not a panacea but an ally. Use with caution if you have certain medical issues.Symbiotics Colostrum Plus – 240 Veg Capsules (new formula)
I love this product. I have been using it for well over 20 years. This is a subtle but predictable diet supplement, not a panacea. I cannot make any claims as to its effect on any disease or medical condition for others. That would be a mistake. I will state that this is an ally in the Castaneda sense. This supplement is as a force which makes me feel better. Stronger. More Alert. More energized. When I feel like crap it gives me a boost. I will STILL feel like crap but less so. It may not act the same way for you. It states to take it with a full glass of water on an empty stomach. Absolutely. It states to triple the dose in times of stress. Absolutely. I can notice effects on my skin. It seems to help healing. Not all at once, but cumulatively. If you have autoimmune issues it will help, not cure, help. I said I have been taking this for 20 years before they started adding IgG and lactoferrin.The images listed here provide conflicting information as to the content of the Colostrum Plus. Previously, for the 480mg capsule, the amount of Colostrum was 960 mg; IgG was 192 mg. Proline rich peptides 38 mg, guaranteed 29mg. Lactoferrin 9 mg. I have emailed Symbiotics with this concern May 30th 2018. I will update this review when and if I receive their response.According to the Symbiotics website there are at least two conditions where you should refrain from using this supplement: (1) If you are pregnant or lactating; (2) If youIf you are taking any immune suppressing medication. I will add a third caveat: If you are sensitive to iron, as those with alopecia universalis, first check with your specialist if the lactoferrin could present any issues. This I recommend from personal experience with a friend who has that condition.Sincerely. If you have medical issues or any immune impairment you should talk to your doctor about supplement use. It seems most doctors don’t recommend supplements. That makes sense since the reputable doctors do depend on the systematized randomized research results that drug companies can afford. The closer you are to your body, how it feels when you are feeling unwell – not sick – unwell. Those of you with autoimmune issues will know what I mean. I have never had any problem with this supplement, and will continue to use it.UPDATE: 5/31/18 I stated the information I provided above regarding the amounts of Colostrum, IgG, Proline rich peptides (PRP’s)and Lactoferrin was based on an image. That image information was based on a previous formulation. I received an email response from Naturade, parent company of Symbiotics. According to that email, the amount of Colostrum is now 500mg per capsule, 1000 mg per serving size. This delivers 34% more IgG than previously, with total IgG 250mg per capsule. Due to FDA regulations, precise Proline rich peptide and lactoferrin amounts are no longer listed due to naturally occurring inconsistencies. This causes variations in each batch which can exceed a FDA labeling standard range of plus or minus five percent accuracy.That is for ALL colostrum manufacturers. I was provided with a general guideline that PRP’s account for 5%, lactoferrin accounts for 1%, of total colostrum powder consumed. This information is accurate.Finally, I was informed that since the conversion to the 500mg capsule was a “flow through” basis with sellers, it is as the sellers restock that the new formula is obtained. This accounts for why some sellers provide older versions, and possibly why Amazon still had some older images which do not reflect the “new version.” Today I also notified Amazon of all this information.I hope this helps.

Addicted to this stuff
I love colostrum. Maybe too much. I began taking this on the recommendation of a holistic practitioner and it works as advertised. I have had great success using colostrum for digestive issues I’ve experienced. However, I bought the powdered kind one time and fell in love with it at first taste to the point that I would just eat massive amounts of it b/c all the literature that I found on it said that it is a food and that you cannot take too much colostrum or overdose on it and that it doesn’t have any adverse effects -that your body would get rid of what it doesn’t need. This is wrong. As we know too much of anything is not good. I also ordered this is pill form and I just started chewing the capsules with the powdery goodness in them or opening up the capsules and just popping the powder in my mouth. I think it’s yummy, but it’ll mess you up if you take too much of it in one sitting as I did. The adverse effects I experienced are totally my fault and I take 100% for my lapse in judgement. Because colostrum has antibiotic like effects, it can behave just like a broad spectrum antibiotic and wipe out all of your good flora and set you up for issues – IF you take too much of it. This is totally my fault as I completely went overboard on this stuff. I just love it, but I learned the hard way not to abuse it. I still take it but only as directed. Not everyone likes it but I think it’s yummy. I say buy it but don’t be a fool like me and take too much.The symbiotics brand is economical. The surthrival brand is good too and extremely yummy but it is very expensive so I stick with the symbiotics brand. Except this time I take no more than what is prescribed by my holistic practitioner or only as directed. I was seriously addicted to this stuff. My flora is now finally getting back to normal. I learned a hard lesson and I never want to use it in the manner that I was again. Regardless of how the internet claims there are no adverse effects and that you can take it in massive amounts and that your body will get rid of what it doesn’t need.

Affordable & Effective
I continue to use this in the rare times it’s necessary primarily because it has never killed off beneficial gut flora as more mainstream treatments are wont to do. Also, because I can address the problem strictly on my own since Amazon Prime delivered it the following afternoon. Can’t ask for more than that!

Holy hormones?
I’m not sure I can keep taking this. It took me a minute to figure it out, but within a week of starting this, I got the worst, most painful nipple sensitivity of my life. And, I had a day where I was super angry easily and had no idea why. I stopped taking this and am going to try just a few times a week because I really need the immune system boost as I get sick ridiculously easy. So bummed, I was really hoping to love this and use it all year to beat colds, flu, etc.

Awkward subject…
…the number two. So I began taking a medication for nerve issues the medication fixed the pain and tremors but then I couldn’t GO. Then it would “arrive” all at once in literally the most painful human waste internal avalanche you can imagine. I’d rather have a baby every day for a month! At least then I could get an epidural. So now I’m torn- take the meds and get to participate in life like a normal person or have more days in bed than out, and continue to miss out on huge milestones in my family’s lives. A friend of mine suggested this as a possible solution. She kinda described it like probiotics, which made me leery- because those just make me bloat and fart. Which didn’t entice me at all. But finally I tried it! NOTHING LIKE PROBIOTICS!! I feel like I’m 15 again. No bloating, no gas, no going too much or not enough- AND my fingers nails are healthier, my skin is looking better, my hair is growing faster, and I went down a pant size which might be because I am back to a more active lifestyle but, whatever! I’ll take it!

I’ll never go a day without it ever again….
Where to begin…literally everyone in my household uses this product and it has been an incredible transformation. My boyfriend takes it in a loose powder form that he mixes into his protein shakes. I take capsules every morning. And every day I sprinkle one capsule over my dog’s food.1. Taste: the flavor is like a strong sweet milky taste, so I prefer the capsules so I don’t have to taste it – for him, he mixes it with almond milk and vanilla protein so the flavor pretty much disappears. My dog LOVES the taste – at this point she refuses to eat her food until I have sprinkled the colostrum on top!2. Benefits: For my boyfriend and I, the effects have been great. He already had a pretty strong immune system (he would get sick only once or twice a year). I have a crappy immune system, the slightest temperature change is enough to get me sneezing and congested. With daily intake of colostrum neither one of us have gotten sick ALL year. It’s kind of a miracle. But the real miracle is the health transformation for my dog. She is 10 years old and this past year had a really scary health scare – in a nut shell the vet thought her liver was about to fail. They prescribed some antibiotics that really had a bad effect on her, so I immediately took her off the meds and started adding colostrum to her food along with about 1 tsp of fish oil every day. Within 2 weeks her liver enzymes had returned to normal (we’re talking hundred of points down from where it was). The vet was so impressed she simply told me to keep doing whatever I was doing. I mean my dog was in danger of needing dialysis and now she’s healthy, happy and running around like normal. I’m super grateful just for that.Seems to be safe for anyone with milk allergies or lactose intolerance – though I know it contains some of the same enzymes so definitely check with your doctor first just to be safe. I honestly think everyone should be taking colostrum. It’s really THAT good.

I also have been giving it to my dogs and they seem to be doing fine on it
I decided to purchase this product after reading many reviews that it helps IBS, allergies, anxiety, etc. I primarily purchased it for my dogs, but I thought I would use it first to see how I felt on it. I have IBS.I’ve only used it about three days and have only taken two a day. So far, it has made my stomach hurt. A lot. I am wondering if it makes my stomach hurt because I also drink about 1/4 of a cup of homemade kefir milk (heavy probiotic drink) on a daily basis, so I have periodically cut kefir back in my diet. But since taking colostrum, I have noticed a bit of a difference in my bowels, so I’ll continue to try it out. I just think I’ll take one a day for the next month and work my way up to more if needed. I also have been giving it to my dogs and they seem to be doing fine on it.Just wish this product was liposomal delivery, because I’ve read that ones that are not are pretty ineffective. I’ll buy colostrum again, but I doubt that I’ll buy this brand.As for my dogs, I’ve only been giving them one a day so far, and they seem to be doing fine on it, although I don’t notice a major difference in their allergies so far. I also give them about a teaspoon of kefir milk daily, so kefir is already helping their allergies considerably, but they do still have a few. I’ll eventually give them one twice a day. Right now, I’d rather take it slow, because I don’t want them feeling ill.

An Immune System Powerhouse!!
I have tried many other brands of colostrum throughout many years and they have been pretty good. This one is WAY excellent and much better than even all those good ones in the market. No fancy claims, “super-advanced” or “mystical” ingredients, just results!! It works in great synergy with Ultimate Protector, a mega powerful antioxidant blend for sale here at Amazon, too. Remember to adjust the dosage of both products to your current state of health. If you have pretty good health you will need less than the recommended dosages. If you have health issues, you will need the recommended dosage or more than recommended. Either way, start slowly with just one capsule of each product so you give your body time to adapt and adjust. Even with great products such as these two I recommend here, too much too soon can hurt you (temporarily). Colostrum can also be a great detoxifier, so at first a bit of discomfort such as headaches, light diarrhea, gas, etc. could happen to a few people. This is normal and should not last more than 3 days. I have had great results with this Colostrum and the Ultimate Protector combination taking both of them before each of my daily meals but you may find them better for you away from foods. Every person’s metabolism is different.

I wanted to love it
I wanted to love this product. I saw rave reviews about colostrum benefits all over the internet. I specifically bought it to deter me from getting sick as I have an autoimmune disorder and get sick quite frequently especially in the winter/spring months. I took 2 a day and still was sick. It sadly just did not work for me. I am starting to think its an overhyped product on the internet with no actual benefits but it might work for some, just not for me. Only positive was I experienced no negative side effects.

Helping with (neuro) ticks and twitches
I have my 2 sons taking these to help with their ticks (possibly caused by Tourrette’s Syndrome – which runs in my family). They seem to get more prevalent ticks during allergy season, so along with zyrtec (which helped a little) I started by giving my younger son 1 tablet in the morning and the older one (12) 2 tablets. The older one’s ticks disappeared completely – so I added the other one to my 9 year old’s dosage and his are now gone. They both have had ticks for the last few years, with my younger one having them more so – usually head nods and eye rolls, some throat sounds. Since taking these I am so happy to see they have subsided for now – they tend to get worked up with sports anxiety and when their tired – the ticks will usually really get going – but this is the only thing I changed this last month even in the middle of fall allergies starting to set in, they’re coping well! (In addition to adding this to help with their symptoms, I’ve cut down on dye, sugar, fried foods and msg and corn syrup)

I’ve only been taking these for a short time, and what I can say right now is that I’ve not experienced any uncomfortable side affects such as diarrhea. Im pleased to add these to my supplement regimen.
