Double Wood Bovine Colostrum Supplement – 1,000 mg per Serving, 15% IgG, 120 Capsules

Choosing a Quality Colostrum Supplement

When selecting a colostrum supplement, the source and processing method are paramount. First milking colostrum, collected within 12–24 hours of birth, boasts the highest concentration of beneficial compounds. Grass-fed, bovine sources are preferable for their natural diet without hormones or antibiotics. Processing matters: freeze-drying preserves delicate proteins and antibodies better than high-heat drying. Double Wood's colostrum is manufactured in the USA using globally sourced ingredients, from first milking only. It is Non-GMO, gluten-free, and contains no fillers or artificial additives. Each batch undergoes third-party testing for microbes, heavy metals, and potency, ensuring a clean and reliable product.

A quality supplement provides clear information about IgG content and serving size. With 1,000 mg of colostrum per serving at 15% IgG, you get 150 mg of immunoglobulins—a clinically relevant amount for those seeking immune support.

Why 15% IgG Standardisation Matters

Not all colostrum supplements are created equal. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) content is a key marker of quality and potency. Double Wood standardises its colostrum to 15% immunoglobulins, ensuring each serving delivers a consistent level of active antibodies. This standardisation is higher than many generic colostrum powders, which can vary widely in IgG concentration.

Standardisation provides reliability. Whether you take colostrum for immune health, gut maintenance, or general wellness, knowing the IgG content allows you to trust what you consume. Third-party testing further verifies purity and potency, confirming the product meets label claims and is free from contaminants.

Bioactive Components and Their Roles

Bovine colostrum offers a unique combination of bioactive components. Immunoglobulins, particularly IgG, are key antibodies that contribute to the body's natural defences. Lactoferrin, proline-rich polypeptides, and growth factors such as IGF-1 and TGF-beta are also present. These compounds are thought to play a role in maintaining a healthy gut lining and supporting microbiome balance.

Growth factors like IGF-1 and TGF-beta are involved in the renewal and maintenance of intestinal cells, which may be beneficial for those with occasional digestive discomfort. Colostrum also contains nutrients that support athletic recovery by providing a rich source of protein and immune-modulating compounds. Many athletes incorporate colostrum into their regimen to help maintain training consistency during busy periods.

Safety and Side Effects

Bovine colostrum is generally well tolerated. However, individuals with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance should exercise caution, as colostrum may contain trace amounts of lactose. Those with autoimmune conditions should consult a health care professional before uses, as colostrum may modulate immune activity. Pregnant or nursing women, and those taking prescription medications, should seek medical advice prior to supplementation.

Some users may experience mild digestive upset when first starting colostrum, which typically resolves as the body adjusts. Start with a lower dose and increase gradually if needed. Store capsules in a cool, dry place to maintain potency.

This product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
