The dose the trials used
Published colostrum research works in grams, not milligrams. One scoop puts you in that range instead of a fraction of it.

WHY IT WORKS
Training punches holes in your gut lining.
That is not a metaphor. Hard, hot or long sessions measurably increase intestinal permeability, and colostrum is one of the few things studied directly against that effect.
Built to stack
Mixes into water in ten seconds, or straight into a protein or collagen shake without changing how it drinks.
For people under training load
Distance work, two-a-days, heat, and long competitive blocks are exactly the conditions the exercise studies looked at.
Growth factors, naturally present
Colostrum contains naturally occurring growth factors, which is why it turns up in post-exercise routines rather than only in gut protocols.
The Research
The exercise research, specifically.
This is where colostrum has been studied hardest, and where the case for a gram-level dose is strongest.
-
Zonulin
In athletes, twenty days of oral bovine colostrum decreased intestinal permeability and lowered stool zonulin concentration, a marker of gut barrier tightness, compared with placebo.
-
Review
A 2021 review of colostrum in sport and exercise concluded the most consistent findings are for gut permeability and upper respiratory illness in athletes, rather than for direct performance gains.

Honest
A systematic review of colostrum and increased intestinal permeability found supportive results across studies while noting substantial variation in dose, duration and product between them.
Simple as 1 · 2 · 3
One scoop into whatever you already drink.
1
One scoop, cold liquid
Mix into 6 to 8 oz of cold water or your usual beverage and drink within ten minutes of mixing.
2
Put it where your shake already is
Post-training alongside protein, or first thing in the morning. Consistency beats timing.
3
Run it through a training block
The exercise trials ran for weeks, not days. Give it a full block before judging it.
How to Use How to use FIRST (POWDER)
As a dietary supplement, adults use one (1) scoop of powder in 6 to 8 oz (177-237 ml) of cold water or your favourite beverage. Consume within 10 minutes of mixing.
Use cold liquid, not hot — heat degrades the immunoglobulins that make colostrum worth taking in the first place.
Cold liquid only
Never mix colostrum into coffee or hot tea. Heat denatures the IgG fraction and you lose the active part.
Drink it promptly
Within ten minutes of mixing. It is not dangerous after that, it just separates and tastes worse.
Stack it with protein
Colostrum is not a protein powder and does not replace one. Put a scoop into the whey shake you already drink after training.
Heavy blocks first
If you are rationing it, prioritise your highest-volume weeks, hot-weather training and competition periods.

Contains dairy
Colostrum is a bovine milk product and this is a gram-level dose. Do not use if you have a milk allergy. If you are lactose intolerant, start with half a scoop.
Do not mix into hot drinks
Heat degrades immunoglobulins. Mixing this into coffee or hot tea will not harm you, but it wastes the active component you are paying for. Cold liquid only.
Immune conditions and immunosuppressants
Colostrum contains bioactive immune compounds. If you have an autoimmune condition or take immunosuppressant medication, speak to your doctor before use.
Pregnancy, nursing and under 18
For adults only. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.

Best in a cold shake
One scoop into cold protein and it disappears. Do not put it in coffee, just like they say.
✓ Verified Buyer
Real dose matters
I chose the powder because the studies use grams. This is the first colostrum product where the dose made sense.
✓ Verified Buyer
Mild taste
It is faintly milky in water and basically invisible in a flavored shake.
✓ Verified Buyer
Good during hard blocks
Used it through marathon build weeks and my gut felt more reliable on long runs.
✓ Verified Buyer
Stacks cleanly
Protein, creatine, colostrum. Same shaker, no texture issue.
✓ Verified Buyer
Cold liquid only
I appreciate the warning about heat. Cold almond milk worked best for me.
✓ Verified Buyer
Post-training staple
It sits right next to my protein now. Easy to use after lifting.
✓ Verified Buyer
Less gut drama after training
Hard sessions usually wreck my stomach. This made the recovery period feel calmer.
✓ Verified Buyer
Transparent IgG number
575 mg IgG on the page and label is why I bought it. Most brands hide that.
✓ Verified Buyer
Scoop is easy
One scoop is straightforward. It does separate if you let it sit, so drink it right away.
✓ Verified Buyer
Better than capsules for me
Capsules are convenient, but the powder is the version I actually felt during training blocks.
✓ Verified Buyer
No flavor clash
I mix it with vanilla whey and barely notice it.
✓ Verified Buyer
Needs cold water
Great product, but room-temp water is not it. Cold liquid makes all the difference.
✓ Verified Buyer
Recovery routine feels complete
This filled the gap in my post-workout shake without adding another huge drink.
✓ Verified Buyer
Good for endurance work
Long rides are rough on my gut. This has been a useful part of managing that.
✓ Verified Buyer
Clear directions
The page tells you exactly how to use it and what not to expect. Very LUVO.
✓ Verified Buyer
Subtle but worthwhile
Not a flashy supplement. It is the kind of thing I judge over a month, and it passed.
✓ Verified Buyer
No fillers
I like that the formula is not padded out. Scoop, shake, done.
✓ Verified Buyer
Heavy training support
During two-a-days this was noticeably helpful for keeping my stomach settled.
✓ Verified Buyer
Will keep it around
I use it during high-stress training periods rather than year-round. Works well for that.
Good Questions
Everything you might be wondering about FIRST (POWDER).
Why the powder instead of the capsules? +
Dose. The published research works at gram level, and one scoop of this delivers 2,300 mg of colostrum with 575 mg of IgG. You would need several capsules to approach that. Capsules are the convenient daily baseline; the powder is the studied dose.
Can I put it in my coffee? +
No, and this is the one instruction worth following exactly. Immunoglobulins are proteins and heat denatures them. Hot coffee will leave you drinking an expensive dairy powder with the active part destroyed. Cold water, cold milk, or a cold shake.
Does it replace my protein powder? +
No. At roughly 2.3 g per scoop this is not a meaningful protein source, and it is not designed to be. Add it to your protein shake rather than swapping one for the other.
What does it taste like? +
Mild and faintly milky, close to unflavoured milk powder. It disappears into a flavoured shake completely and is perfectly drinkable in plain cold water.
Is this useful if I do not train hard? +
Possibly, though be aware the strongest evidence comes from athletes under physical stress, because that is where researchers could reliably provoke the gut permeability they were measuring. If you are not training heavily, the capsules at a lower daily dose may suit you better.
How long should I take it for? +
The athlete trials generally ran two to four weeks and longer. Give it a full training block. Judging any gut intervention on a few days is not a fair test of it.
