Support your immune system!
Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced by all mammalian mothers for the first few days after giving birth. (Its composition is very different than milk and most people with milk allergies have no problem with it.) Colostrum collected from healthy cows has been found to have many immune and growth factors that may be helpful in promoting human health.
TBR Labs' colostrum naturally contains a broad range of amazing immune boosters: immunoglobulins, your first line of defense (IgA, IgG), hormones, enzymes, growth factors, peptides, vitamins and trace minerals. Together these nutritional compounds may help to powerfully boost the immune system. Bovine colostrum has been used to accelerate healing and recovery from injuries, reduce inflammation, balance mood, build lean muscle mass, and increase energy.
Bovine colostrum supplements may also aid in digestive health. It contains special synergizing nutrients which are helpful for stimulating tissue repair, particularly that of the intestinal lining. For this reason, research suggests that colostrum can help significantly with intestinal permeability and irritable bowel syndrome, and that it promotes the re-growth and re-colonization of beneficial bacteria in the bowel.
This colostrum is unique.
Bovine colostrum supplements have become more and more popular in recent years due to an increasing demand for their immunity-building and digestive health benefits. Unfortunately however, not all colostrum products are created with an equal amount of care and respect.
Today many companies alter colostrum in ways that make the nutritional label look more impressive and "marketable." Some manufacturers strip the fat out of the colostrum and add artificial immunoglobulins. Other companies offer a liposomal delivery system, which means that the colostrum has been sprayed with a lipid additive. Resulting products may appear to have a higher percentage of IgGs or lactoferrin, but we believe that the stripping of fat renders colostrum almost useless.
These trends are interesting for a couple of reasons. Processed colostral products may serve a purpose, but the thing that differentiates TBR Labs Colostrum from the others on the market is that it is delicately handled to stay as natural as possible.
This TBR Labs' colostrum is the best Mother Nature has to offer. It is created with care, and without monkeying around and trying to tweak the product in a lab. TBR Labs Colostrum is not stripped of fat which means that it can be made in smaller and fresher batches. This colostrum is also not fractionated either, because we feel that its natural design is perfect.
TBR Labs Colostrum is unfiltered, whole, and complete! It is tested to be antibiotic free, hormone free, and pesticide free. The colostrum is humanely collected from USDA Grade A dairies in the southwestern United States where the cows can be grass-fed year round. That's why we believe this colostrum is superior. These bovine colostrum supplements are available in powder or capsules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does it contain casein?
A. Yes, the casein content of colostrum is the same as that in regular milk. However, the peptides in colostrum temper allergic reactions by regulating the production of TH2 cytokines, and thus preventing the production of IgG antibodies from the casein. While many people with dairy intolerances tolerate colostrum well, it is important to check with your health care provider before taking this product if you have allergy concerns.
Q. Can I take colostrum if I'm lactose intolerant?
A. Colostrum is a food containing extremely low levels of lactose. So low in fact that most individuals with lactose issues should not experience difficulty with colostrum. Some have even reported that they no longer have lactose intolerance issues. It's critical however that the colostrum being consumed is 100% "first-milking" colostrum collected within the first 16 hours after birth. It should also be colostrum that is unprocessed, never defatted or with added ingredients.
Q. Can children take colostrum as well?
A. Absolutely! Remember, colostrum is a whole food . It can be a great form of supplementation for helping children have healthy immune systems and provides the nutrition for successful development of their other essential systems.
Q. Are there any added ingredients?
A. The powdered version has nothing added. The capsules contain kosher gelatin.
Q. Is the colostrum hormone, pesticide, antibiotic and rBST free?
A. Yes, the colostrum is produced from dairies that are hormone, pesticide, antibiotic and rBST free.
Q. Does the harvesting of the colostrum mean that the calves are deprived?
A. The calves receive enough colostrum, typically about 2 quarts, for their own needs. Since the mother cow will have several gallons available, the remaining colostrum is used to make this colostrum product. Calves are never deprived of all they need as no dairy farmer could risk their cows' health.
Q. Should I refrigerate it?
A. No. Refrigeration is not necessary.
Q. Where is it sourced and is it organic?
A. Becoming "certified organic" is extremely expensive for farmers. You can be assured that TBR colostrum is tested to be antibiotic free, hormone free, and pesticide free and currently all of the colostrum is collected from USDA Grade A dairies in the southwest (temperate climate) to ensure that cows can be grass fed year round.
Q. How much should I take and how should I take it?
A. The recommended serving is 1/2 tsp twice per day mixed with water or 3 capsules on an empty stomach.

Love this stuff!!!
I discovered Radiant Life searching for grass-fed, organic colostrum. A couple years ago I had a minor case of leaky gut and my naturopath suggested I try colostrum. She sold me the LD(?) Laboratories product and I liked it well enough, but discovered that they defatted it and they're recommended by the Weston A Price Foundation, and I got it the next day even though I ordered right in the middle of theen sprayed it with lipids (huh?). And it's about $100/lb with the serving size being a tablespoon-sized scoop that supplies a mediocre amount of the product. I found Radiant Life while searching for organic, grass-fed colostrum from humanely-raised cows. I emailed a question and got an answer right away. Satisfied with the answer, I ordered 2 of the 200g powder and a bottle of the capsules. The 200g size is about the size of a measuring cup but the serving size is one 1/2 teaspoon scoop (something like 180 servings) packing a whopping serving (1500 mg?) of the product. Not only are they local (Nor Cal), but definitely reasonably priced (and they often have promotions), their products are recommended by the Weston A Price Foundation, and I received it in a day or so even though I ordered right in the middle of the holidays.I'm thrilled I discovered them and will definitely remain a loyal customer.

Love this stuff!!!
I occasionally have some acid reflux that isn't debilitating but given a crappy diet, forces me to take a little too much baking soda to relieve the symptoms. I also found out that I had a bit of a leaky gut a couple years ago and my naturopath suggested colustrum. I bought some from LD(?) laboratories that was pretty good but then found out that they defatted it and then sprayed it with lipids (huh?). I found Radiant Life when searching for grass-fed colostrum and bought both the powder and capsules. I was totally surprised how good the powder tastes by itself (kind of sweet). Since I've been using it, my stomach has gotten a whole lot better (VERY minor lingering gut dysbiosis). I love the idea that they are local (Nor Cal-received it in a day), that it's only colostrum with nothing else, it's grass-fed and humane, and their products are recommended by the Weston A Price Foundation. Another great thing about it is that it's a good deal for the money. The 200g powder at only $63.50 (and often they have promos) comes with a tiny (1/2 teaspoon?) scoop, 1 scoop is the serving size and each scoop delivers a whopping serving of colostrum.I'm thrilled with Radiant Life and will keep buying from them.

Canker sores
I've been suffering with canker sores since middle school age. I've tried just about everything to help them from ice cubes to numb the pain to a topical ointment prescribed by my dentist. Nothing has worked like the Colostrum! As soon as I feel an outbreak coming on, I take the Colostrum before bed and the next morning my pain is literally gone and the sores are healing. It's that incredible! I won't be able to live without this product. I'm so grateful I found it!
