Colostrum is the first milk goats produce around the birth of their baby goats. It provides their earliest nourishment and naturally contains nutrients, antibodies, and other bioactive compounds.

Yes. Colostrum is another name for first milk. Our capsules contain this ingredient in gently freeze-dried form.

People choose goat colostrum as a way to include this dairy ingredient in their diets. Betula offers it in capsule form, with pure goat colostrum as the filling.

We maintain close relationships with the farmers who supply our colostrum. Knowing where the ingredient comes from and how the goats are cared for is an important part of our approach.

After collection, the colostrum is frozen and gently freeze-dried to remove moisture. The resulting powder is then hand-filled into capsules.

Freeze-drying, also called lyophilization, removes moisture from a frozen ingredient under reduced pressure. It allows us to turn colostrum into a powder without using high-temperature spray drying.

Look for clearly stated ingredients, sourcing information, collection timing, processing methods, and testing. Check whether the capsule filling contains pure goat colostrum or a blend, and review the label directions and allergen information.

Follow the directions on your bottle and take the capsules with cool water. Do not exceed the recommended amount. Ask your healthcare professional if you have questions about when or how to take them.
