About
What is colostrum?
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals after birth. It is extremely nutrient-dense, containing antibodies, growth factors, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and more.
What are the benefits of consuming bovine colostrum? Colostrum supports immune and gut health, promotes muscle recovery, and carries multiple beauty benefits.
Who is elavite?
Elavite was founded by two women who discovered the benefits of colostrum when they themselves became mothers. They realized these benefits were available with bovine colostrum and wanted to find a way to share them with the world. As pharmacists by trade, they developed elavite colostrum to be clean, simple, and made with quality ingredients.
How is colostrum different from regular milk?
Colostrum is specifically the “first milk” produced by cows in the 2-3 days after giving birth. Regular milk is produced after this phase is over. Nutritionally, colostrum contains higher concentration of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and immune boosting nutrients than regular milk.
Where do you source your colostrum?
All our colostrum is entirely sourced from US dairy farms.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend consulting with your provider before starting any medication or supplement while pregnant or nursing.
I get that colostrum is great for the immune system, but how does it support beauty?
Colostrum is rich in epidermal growth factors, cytokines, and immunoglobulins. Epidermal growth factors support cell regeneration and repair, which is especially beneficial for hair, skin, and nail health. This also promotes skin elasticity, which in turn reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The cytokines in colostrum provide immune-boosting properties that help fight inflammation- a common factor in topical skin reactions. Last but not least, radiant skin is the direct result of a healthy immune and digestive system, which is the primary responsibility of those ever so abundant immunoglobulins found in colostrum.
Product
What is the best way to prepare my drink?
We recommend placing 1 scoop into your cup and then pouring water (or your preferred beverage) over the powder. Room temperature liquids work best, as making it too hot (above 140°F) can reduce the bioactivity, and making it too cold may cause clumping of the powder. While none of this is mandatory, we provide very specific instructions for optimal potency and consistency. However, the benefits will only be noticeable with consistent use so if you find a way that works for you, please enjoy it that way and rest assured that it will still be beneficial!
Once I mix the powder, how long is my beverage good for?
We recommend consuming your drink within 30 minutes after preparing it. This is a milk-based product that was formulated without any additives or preservatives, so we want to limit any opportunity for bacterial growth.
How should I take this? On an empty stomach? Or can I eat before or after?
For enhanced absorption, taking this on an empty stomach would be best. However, this is not absolutely necessary. The key to seeing results (with anything) is consistency, so if you find that it’s easier to take by mixing it into your coffee or morning smoothie, do what works best for you!
Should I take colostrum with my collagen? How about probiotics?
The cool thing about colostrum is that it contains numerous benefits and is truly a powerhouse of nutrition. One of the key components of colostrum are growth factors, which inherently promote the development of collagen.
Growth factors also support the gut barrier, which can prevent gastrointestinal conditions such as “leaky gut syndrome.” This, in combination with a diet full of nutritious and fermented foods, promotes a healthy gut microbiome, which can lead your body to produce its own pre and probiotics. All that to say - you may not feel the need to take anything else after some time.
Does colostrum interact with other medications and/or supplements?
As pharmacists, we would love to be able to answer each and every one of our inquiries but we realize that is impossible so we do recommend checking with your provider, especially if you are taking other medications.
If I’m lactose intolerant, can I take this?
Unfortunately, we wouldn’t recommend it. Colostrum is a milk-based product, so there is a chance for cross-sensitivity.
