The first milk a cow produces after calving is called colostrum. Its composition differs entirely from regular milk, and it exists only briefly — after that it dilutes into ordinary milk.

What colostrum is

The first milk differs
from what follows

Colostrum is the first milk secreted by mammals after birth. Its composition differs substantially from later milk:

Immunoglobulin IgG
One of the most abundant protein classes in colostrum, and the clearest compositional difference from regular milk.
Lactoferrin
An iron-binding glycoprotein naturally present in colostrum.
Growth factors
Including IGF-1 and other growth factors occurring naturally in colostrum.
Oligosaccharides and other constituents
Colostrum naturally contains a range of oligosaccharides, proteins and trace constituents.

The above is a description of composition — what this substance contains. It does not indicate that consuming it produces any particular physiological effect or health outcome.

Six hours

Why six hours

Concentration of colostrum constituents declines with time after calving. Colostrum collected within the first six hours differs measurably in concentration from colostrum collected later. A measurable specification, not an adjective.

That is what the name refers to: Colostrum6 uses only colostrum collected within six hours of calving. It is the main process difference between this and most colostrum products on the market.

One condition comes first: the calf feeds first. Collection happens only after the calf has fed; what remains is what gets collected.

Comparison

Read the label, not the marketing

The practical way to compare colostrum products is to look at two things on the label: sugar content and the form the colostrum takes.
