Potency
Standard colostrum is often diluted with additives to mimic products of higher quality. A greater intake of colostrum is required to achieve the same effects, yet it still falls short in delivering comparable benefits. Standard colostrum is not always backed by third-party research, providing a false sense of proof and trustworthiness.
Approach
Standard bovine colostrum processing often focuses on extending shelf life through methods such as high-temperature pasteurization and sterilization. High temperatures can denature essential proteins, rendering them unrecognizable and less effective for the body. It is tailored more for operational efficiency and extended shelf life than for optimal health benefits.
Ethics
Standard colostrum often comes from farms where maximizing output is prioritized. This often leads to the routine use of antibiotics and hormones. There is no telling whether the colostrum is ethically sourced, if calves are first fed the colostrum they need in order to grow and thrive. Companies looking to make a quick buck off the hype do not care to ensure that the colostrum is collected in the first milking, when bioactives are at their peak.
Quality
Not all manufacturers adhere to cGMP regulations that ensure safety and quality for consumption. Many colostrum products also neglect essential third-party lab testing, leaving their safety and quality unverified. Furthermore, these products may contain higher levels of fats, pesticides, and hormones, which can be problematic. Additives like fillers and binding agents can further dilute the efficacy of colostrum.
Potency
TruColostrum® is not diluted with any fillers or additives. It is the only colostrum product on the market to be tested for active antibodies. The bioactive components that are responsible for the health benefits in thousands of research studies are preserved in order to provide the most efficacious product.
Approach
TruColostrum® is dedicated to a gentle process that preserves the colostrum in its most natural, whole form. Instead of high-temperature pasteurization that can denature bioactives, TruColostrum® products undergo heat treatment process that preserves over 400 bioactive nutrients in their purest and most bioavailable form. This ensures maximum efficacy for the results you want to see.
Ethics
TruColostrum® prioritizes ethical practices through our calf-first sourcing approach. We only collect the overflow colostrum—the surplus that remains after the calves have been fully nourished with all the essential nutrients they need to thrive. Our colostrum is non-GMO, sourced from USDA grade A dairy farms, collected within the first milking, and manufactured without the use of hormonal growth promotants.
Quality
TruColostrum® products are manufactured in North America at cGMP certified and FDA-registered facilities. This ensures safety and quality throughout production. Our products are monitored and third-party lab tested for pesticides, heavy metals, microbes, and other contaminants to ensure they meet our quality standards. TruColostrum® is tested for active antibodies that are naturally occurring, not artificially added in through fillers.
