Why does Whole Colostrum matter?
Whole bovine colostrum is a natural superfood, packed with essential nutrients, immune-boosting compounds, and growth factors that support overall wellness. Not all colostrum on the market is the same though (hear from Founder Rob on this here!) We prioritize upholding the nutrients inherent to colostrum in its most natural state, with low-temperature processing to keep them working at their optimal potential.
Whole Bovine Colostrum retains its full spectrum of bioactive components, helping to strengthen immunity, gut health, and improve your energy. Because a happy gut means a happy YOU!
Adding WonderCow Colostrum to your daily routine gives your family the natural support and nourishment they need, to keep up with all of life’s little (and big) moments.
