WHERE DOES COLOSTRUM COME FROM?
Most female
mammals are capable of secreting colostrum, and several species are
used as a source of colostrum. Bovine (cow) colostrum is the most common
commercially available form. Colostrum is available as tablets, powder, and
in liquid. The method used to process and package colostrum varies
considerably. The timing of harvesting the colostrum also varies, which has
significance on the levels of hormones, growth factors, and antibodies.
