Oh Lardy loves taking care of our guts by eating fermented foods, taking probiotics, reducing stress, drinking bone broth and more. We also have started adding colostrum to our daily diets as well.

You can purchase raw colostrum from your local dairy, if you have that kind of access. We prefer to take ours in powdered supplement form. Why?

Benefits of Colostrum:

1. Supports a healthy immune response.*
2. May enhance stamina and normal lean muscle re-growth after strenuous physical exercise, when consumed at about 20 grams per day.*
3. Promotes healthy intestinal flora and the normal functioning of the entire GI tract.* (hello! This is what Oh Lardy loves!!!)
4. Contains naturally occurring growth factors in colostrum may encourage cellular re-growth for healthy skin, bones, muscles, nerves and cartilage.*

We particularly like Symbiotics® colostrum. It comes in a powder, a capsule and a flavored chewable tablet (my daughter LOVES these!). We use all 3 types and love them all.

There are many ways to add colostrum to your diet in addition to just taking it like a supplement. If you are creative, you can mix it in to a variety of foods you eat each day!
