Colostrum Research
Over the past decade, scientists have uncovered how first-milking bovine colostrum supports the gut, trains the immune system, fuels recovery, and even slows the wear and tear of aging. At TBR Labs, we’ve taken those findings to heart. Every choice we make — from sourcing USDA Grade A, first-milking colostrum to keeping it whole and uncut — is driven by what the research shows works best. The studies below are just a glimpse into the science that shaped our process and the product in your hands.
Insights into the Research Trends on Bovine Colostrum: Beneficial Health Perspectives with Special Reference to Manufacturing of Functional Foods and Feed Supplements
"Bovine colostrum is significantly rich in biologically active peptides, antioxidants, anti-inflammation agents, and growth-promoting factors that differ substantially from mature milk. The benefits of BC are well known in the health and disease of children and adults [73]."

Bovine Colostrum and Its Potential for Human Health and Nutrition
"...Colostrum may offer an attractive digestible, complete protein source that can be integrated into a calorically-appropriate diet. In addition to macronutrients, bovine colostrum includes vitamins, minerals, and a broad assortment of protein-derived bioactives which may offer additive benefits to its macronutrient profile."
