Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

What is NOW Foods Colostrum, 500 mg, 120 Veg Capsules?

NOW Foods Colostrum is a vegetarian-capsule dietary supplement supplied as 120 capsules per bottle. Each capsule contains 500 mg of dried bovine colostrum complex (BSE-free); colostrum is the nourishing fluid mammals produce for newborns in the days after birth, before milk production begins. The label sets one capsule as a serving and directs adults to take one capsule once or twice daily as needed.

What are the label ingredients and amounts per serving?

Each one-capsule serving provides 500 mg of dried bovine colostrum complex (BSE-free), with no daily value established. Other ingredients are hypromellose (cellulose capsule), milk protein concentrate, non-fat dry milk, stearic acid (vegetable source), silicon dioxide, sunflower lecithin and natural vanilla flavour; the label states the product contains milk and no synthetic growth hormones.

Who should use it, and who should ask a doctor first?

It is for adults, taken as the label directs. The label asks anyone who is pregnant or nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition to consult a physician first, and says to avoid the product if you are lactose intolerant or sensitive to dairy products. It contains milk, so keep the bottle out of reach of children.

How and when should the capsules be taken?

Take one capsule once or twice daily as needed, as the label directs, and keep to that printed serving. At two capsules a day the 120-capsule bottle covers about 60 days, while one a day gives about 120 days. Dietary supplements are not medicines, so timing of any effect varies with diet, routine and individual factors.
