Containing 250+ bioactives, colostrum is a rare superfood shown to repair and get to the root cause of skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and acne. Say goodbye to itchy and inflamed skin.
The gut plays a critical role in optimal health. When the gut lining is healthy, it is a barrier of tight junctions. These junctions selectively absorb nutrients, vitamins, minerals and amino acids while keeping out allergens, bad bacteria, toxins, gliadin and viruses. However, certain lifestyle factors can damage this barrier leading to a host of downstream effects. Thousands of studies now demonstrate that the gut lining holds the delicate balance between healthy and unhealthy skin. Science calls this the GUT-SKIN connection.
Processed foods, pesticides, sugar, alcohol, antibiotics and chronic stress damage our gut barrier, leading to leaky gut syndrome (intestinal hyper permeability). When our gut junctions become leaky, bad bacteria, allergens and toxins can leak into the blood stream resulting in immune activation and inflammation. Overtime, this chronic response may result in a host of symptoms and conditions including eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne and other skin issues. This is why topicals, steroids and ointments only mask symptoms.
Colostrum contains 250+ bioactives, many of which have exert anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-pathogen, antioxidant and immunodulatory benefits at the gut level. Some of these bioactives include Immunoglobulins, sIgA, Growth Factors, Lactoferrin, Oligosaccharides, Prebiotics, Cytokines, Proline Rich Polypeptides + much more. Colostrum also contains a host of essential vitamins and minerals which are foundation to gut health.
Multiple studies demonstrate that bovine colostrum can help reverse leaky gut. For example, just 500mg (small dose) of colostrum was shown to improve leaky gut (1). While two other studies found that colostrum improved and blunted leaky gut by 70% and 80% respectively (2)(3). We also have studies showing that colostrum led to a significant reduction in Zonulin levels, the main marker for measuring intestinal permeability (4).
Individuals experiencing skin problems such as psoriasis and acne frequently exhibit heightened levels of Endotoxin, a byproduct of generated by harmful gram-negative bacteria in the gut. It is commonly elevated in people with Leaky gut. In multiple studies, colostrum has been shown to reduce plasma endotoxin (5)(6)(7). In one study, it reduced it by as much as 67% (8).
Low levels of beneficial bacteria are highly common in sufferers of eczema, psoriasis and acne. For example, one study found that 54% of people with acne also had a gut bacteria imbalance (9). In studies, colostrum has been shown to increase benefical Bifidobacterium spp, Lactobacillus spp, short-chain fatty acid microorganisms and also improve the diversity and abundance of good bacteria (10)(11)(12).
SIgA is an immunoglobulin which protects our mucosal barriers, including the gut. Low levels of sIgA have been implicated in skin problems like eczema and psoriasis. In one study, bovine colostrum was shown to increase salivary IgA levels by 79% after 12 weeks of supplementation (13). While another study found a 33% increase in salivary IGA (14).
Gut pathogens and bad bacteria like e.coli often can trigger and contribute to skin issues. In studies, colostrum has been shown to shift dysbiotic (unhealthy) gut environments towards eubiotic (good) gut environments (15). Studies also showed that colostrum reduced levels of e.coli, worked against H.Pylori and cleared C.difficile when paired with a probiotic (16)(17)(18).
Many of the ointments, medications and steroids used to treat skin issues can often damage the small intestinal villi gut or even worsen skin symptoms. In studies, colostrum was shown to help repair the intestinal villi as-well as repair gut damage caused by medications like NSAIDs by 30-60% (19)(20).
While colostrum improves problem skin by repairing the gut, topical colostrum also has benefits. In studies, topical colostrum has been shown to shorten wound healing times (21), stimulate skin repair and regeneration (22), Enhance keratinocyte proliferation and migration (23), and stimulate significant healing in chronic non-healing ulcers (24). In addition to supplementing, our founder also used colostrum topically to fix his eczema.
Colostrum is the richest source of Immunoglobulins, containing 100x more immunoglobulins compared to mature milk.
At the mucosal level, Immunoglobulins act as a defence system against bacteria, toxins, viruses, and other antigens. They bind, recognise and destroy these molecules thereby fortifying the mucosal barriers and regulating the innate and adaptive immune system.
Secretory IgA is one of the most important immune molecules which plays an essential role in ensuring the health of our mucosal barriers. It prevents the overgrowth of mucosal pathogens and bad bacteria.
Low SIgA levels have been found in people with IBD, IBS, food Intolerances, intestinal permeability and autoimmunity.
Colostrum has been found to help increase and modulate IgA levels. In one study, long distance runners taking bovine colostrum for 12 weeks, improved s-IgA levels by 79%.
Colostrum contains close to 50 different growth factors including IGF-1, IGF-2, TGF-β and TGF-α which are exclusive to bovine colostrum.
Growth factors are natural proteins which promote healing and repair. Many of these growth factors have been shown to display antihypertensive, antioxidant, antithrombotic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity.
Studies show that growth factors repair intestinal cells, enhance immunity, build lean muscle and enhance wound repair.
Lactoferrin in an iron binding glycoprotein which plays an important role in iron regulation and immune health.
Lactoferrin displays antioxidant, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity. It is effective against viruses, pathogens (like e.coli), the common cold and viral gastro-enteritis. It also reduces pathogenic microbial load.
Studies show that lactoferrin is more effective at increasing iron levels than synthetic iron tablets. It has also been shown to restore the gut mucosal barrier.
Bovine colostrum is a rich source of Prebiotic oligosacchardies.
Oligosaccahrdies are the only prebiotic shown to promote the growth of Bifidobacterium. This probiotic or species of bacteria has been shown to reduce gut permeability, inflammation and restore gut homeostasis (e.g. crowding out bad bacteria in favour of the good stuff).
New evidence is also looking at the role of prebiotic oligosaccharides in obesity prevention. For example, one study showed that the consumption of oligosaccharides significantly reduced weight gain and reduced intestinal permeability.
Proline Rich Polypeptides are incredibly small chains of amino acids that have powerful effects on immunity.
They have been shown to promote T-lymphocyte function, stimulate undifferentiated lymphocytes, promote the growth of B cells, enhance natural killer cell activity, increase the proliferation of leukocytes and inhibit viruses known to be linked with autoimmune disease.
One specific Proline rich polypeptide called colostrinin has recently been shown to improve cognition and outcomes in patients with mild to moderate dementia.
a-Lactalbumin is a whey protein that plays an important role in maintianing muscle mass and aiding in weight loss.
It has been shown to improve sleep, protect against gut infections and support an overall healthy microbiome.
Our colostrum is sourced from a unique set of pastures located on New Zealand's South Island. These pastures are surrounded by the Southern Alps with lands so picturesque they could feature on a postcard. Cattle roam the lands freely and are grass-fed and 365 day pasture raised.
Proprietary low thermal processing is used on our colostrum at temperatures much lower than industry norms. This ensures that colostrum maintains its bioactive compounds.
20% IgG is the hallmark of high quality colostrum as its the most concentrated bioactive. Our colostrum is exclusively selected from batches exceeding 20% IgG+.
Low thermal processing also maintains IgG activity compared to high temperatures, which denatures IgG and impacts the reliability of the commonly used affinity HPLC testing method. This means that 20% IgG may be closer to 15% if low thermal processing is not used.
We provide comprehensive testing for microbiologics, IgG, IgA and IgM. We are also one of the rare companies who test IGF-I, IGF-II, TGF-β1, TGF-β2 as-well as test for vitamin and mineral content.
Colostrum is a rare resource and is only collected during the cattles natural calving season. Only surplus colostrum is collected. This ensures the calf gets all the colostrum it needs to develop and be healthy with the remainder then being collected.
In order to meet yearly demand, colostrum is sourced from multiple different New Zealand farms across the south Island. It is then processed within 48 hours to maintain bioactive concentration.
Avoid colostrum or milk products which come from factory farmed dairy where cows may get artificially inseminated leading to inhumane collection of milk and colostrum.
Just like whey protein but better. The taste is neutral so can be added to water, smoothies, shakes or any drink with ease. Some people dry scoop it because they love it so much.
Colostrum is designed to help get to the root cause of skin issues - the gut (so it doesn't come back).
While not necessary, colostrum may also be applied topically for short term relief. Topical is best used by mixing with a carrier oil and applying as a paste (e.g. coconut oil/tallow)
We typically recommend getting the 2x bundle so you can use one for topical and the other as a supplement.
Don't apply to open wounds or eyes. If you have open wounds, then please consult with a health care professional before using topically.
Absolutely, you are pairing the No 1 most vitamin and mineral rich whole-food (beef liver) with the most bioactive rich whole-food in colostrum. Beef liver is also the richest food source of skin loving active vitamin A. Amazing to take separately but also the ultimate combination when taken together.
Yes! Our colostrum powder is sourced from Grass-fed and pastured raised New Zealand dairy cows only. We source our colostrum from a unique part of New Zealand where pastures are surrounded by the Southern Alps. It is a one of kind source of Colostrum.
Yes, our colostrum uses low thermal processing technology to ensure more active IgG. Compared to one of the main US colostrum suppliers, our colostrum contained more active IgG.
Colostrum should not be taken in capsules in our opinion. The power tastes good and has oral mucosal benefits when consumed in this way. Capsules removes this additional benefit from the equation.
Each serve of Colostrum does contain a small amount of lactose, so would not be advisable to those with severe lactose allergy.
However, many with a small dairy sensitivity find they don't have an issue with colostrum. This might come down to colostrum helping with their gut, which may be contributing to the dairy sensitivity in the first place.
If you are unsure if its right for you, please contact a health care professional before taking.
We recommend consulting with your health care professional if you are unsure about taking colostrum during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Amazing! I have had 2 yrs of stomach issues after having my Gallbladder removed. Within three days it had fixed any issues an I could drink coffee again and go out and have meals at a restaurant without having and emergency toilet dash afterwards. Truely wished I’d tried it sooner.
Meg
Gut issues have disappeared. Mood is up & stools are better than ever?
This product is a game changer for gut
issues, and it tastes amazing with sweet coconut water. I highly recommend it!
I have had significant gut issues where nothing has seemed to help. I’ve taken this product for a month so far and I would say I’ve seen progress. I’m keen to keep trying it and hopefully see further progress!
I started to notice a difference to my gut problems 2 days in from first using this colostrum.
I thought it was too good to be true and just coincidence but its continued to be of some help one month in.
Will definitely keep using this product and have already purchased some more while in stock.
Thank you Nahla Earth
