Protect your gut during intense physical demands and accelerate recovery with nature's original performance supplement.
Shop Performance SupportIntense training pushes your body to its limits—and beyond. While that stress drives adaptation and improvement, it also creates challenges: exercise-induced gut permeability, elevated inflammation, immune suppression, and slower recovery between sessions.
Endurance athletes are especially susceptible to GI distress during training and competition. Studies show that intense exercise can increase gut permeability by up to 250%, contributing to post-exercise illness, cramping, and nutrient malabsorption.
Colostrum addresses these challenges from multiple angles—supporting the gut barrier, modulating inflammation, and providing growth factors that assist recovery.
Take one scoop of powder (1.5g) or two capsules 30-60 minutes before training on an empty stomach. This helps protect the gut barrier during exercise.
Training days: Consider a second serving within 30 minutes post-workout alongside your regular recovery nutrition.
Heavy training blocks: Some athletes increase to two scoops twice daily during competition prep or high-volume training phases.
Colostrum complements a well-designed training program, adequate protein intake, proper sleep, and active recovery practices. It works with your body's natural repair mechanisms, not as a replacement for sound training principles.
For performance and recovery, many athletes take colostrum 30-60 minutes before training on an empty stomach. Some also take a second serving post-workout. The pre-workout timing supports gut integrity during exercise, while post-workout supports recovery.
Colostrum contains growth factors (including IGF-1) that have been studied for their role in lean body mass. Some trials show improvements in lean mass when combined with resistance training. It works best as part of a complete nutrition and training program.
Bovine colostrum is not currently on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list. However, athletes subject to drug testing should always verify with their governing body and choose third-party tested products.
Whey protein primarily provides amino acids for muscle protein synthesis. Colostrum provides a broader range of bioactives—immunoglobulins, growth factors, lactoferrin—that support gut health, immune function, and recovery beyond what amino acids alone can do.
Yes. Colostrum powder blends well with smoothies, protein shakes, or water. Avoid mixing with hot liquids above 120°F, as heat may denature some bioactive proteins.
Some athletes report noticeable differences in recovery within 1-2 weeks. For measurable changes in body composition or performance metrics, a consistent 4-8 week protocol is typically recommended.
