Colostrum , often referred to as "first milk", is the first nutritional gift from a mother to her newborn baby. This nutrient-rich, prebiotic natural product, produced by mammals, in our case cows, in the first hours after birth, has been known for centuries for its health-promoting properties .
It is not surprising that in Switzerland, where the quality of dairy products is of great importance , The high-quality colostrum is extracted from our well-maintained farm network and refined in our sustainably managed factory.

In the following article you will learn why our colostrum can support your health in the long term and why all it takes is common sense to use the advantages of this valuable natural product to regulate intestinal health.
The Benefits of Bovine Colostrum
Colostrum, also known as first milk, is the first fluid produced by the mammary glands before actual milk is formed. This valuable natural product is particularly rich in antibodies and growth factors , which are crucial for the development and protection of newborn mammals.
The use of bovine colostrum in humans has numerous health benefits, particularly for the immune system and intestinal health .
1. Strengthening the immune system
Colostrum is a unique source of immunoglobulins that are specifically effective against many human pathogens. The Swiss law 817.022.108 VLtH, Chapter 12 / Art. 86 states, among other things: Colostrum is rich in antibodies.
These antibodies can help strengthen the immune system and improve the body's defenses against viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, colostrum contains lactoferrin, a protein that has antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.
Regular intake of colostrum can therefore lead to a general improvement in immune function and reduce susceptibility to disease.
2. Promoting intestinal health
The components in colostrum also play a crucial role in promoting intestinal health. The growth factors it contains, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) , support the repair and growth of intestinal wall cells.
This is especially important for people with intestinal diseases or impaired intestinal barrier. In addition, colostrum promotes the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria and thus contributes to a healthy microbiome . Optimizing the intestinal microbiome is crucial for digestion, nutrient absorption and the immune system.
Optimizing intestinal health through colostrum
The following points illustrate how colostrum optimizes intestinal health:
- Strengthening the immune system : Colostrum contains antibodies that can neutralize pathogenic bacteria and viruses in the intestine.
- Intestinal barrier support : Growth factors in colostrum promote the repair and renewal of intestinal cells, resulting in a stronger and healthier intestinal wall.
- Promoting the balance of the intestinal flora : Colostrum has a prebiotic effect and supports the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.

We produce the first cold-processed Swiss colostrum according to pharmaceutical standards, which is internationally recognized for having the highest content of antibodies (IgG).
2. Sustainability and transparency through our own farmer network
Another key factor for the quality of our bovine colostrum is our own network of farmers who keep and care for their animals according to the strictest Swiss standards. In Switzerland, for example, it is regulated, among other things, that every cow has access to species-appropriate pastures outside and thus also a natural source of food.
We collect the excess colostrum directly from the farm. This collaboration with our local farmers not only allows us to closely track the origin and quality of the colostrum, but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices, which we test and develop further in close exchange with each other.
Our commitment to transparency and ethical animal husbandry ensures that the cows that provide the colostrum live in optimal conditions. This includes not only species-appropriate nutrition and husbandry, but also respectful treatment of the animals and their natural life cycles.
By working closely with our farmers, we can ensure and personally check that the colostrum production does not harm the animals, but rather benefits them: we only collect excess colostrum that is not needed for the calves. This way we ensure that the calf comes first and the bond with the mother cow takes place.
