Probiotics are live in microorganisms that are also known as "good" bacteria that help promote a healthy digestive tract and immune system. What is Colostrum? Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals (cows) after birth and is particularly rich in immunoglobulins, immune supporting peptides (lactoferrin & lactoperoxidase) and other bioactive molecules, including growth factors. Combined, the bioactive natural compounds found in colostrum help promote immune health and support normal gastrointestinal tract health.
