Colostrum

BE THE CHANGE Colostrum – IgG 75%

BE THE CHANGE Colostrum – IgG 75% is a Swiss dietary supplement based on high‑quality bovine colostrum, developed to specifically support the gut microbiome and natural defenses. The preparation is fully manufactured in Switzerland and contains on average 75% IgG antibodies, which naturally occur in high concentrations in first milk. For quality assurance, the manufacturer relies on an especially gentle processing: cold‑sterilized and ultrafiltered below 40 °C, so heat‑sensitive biofactors are preserved. The ingredients are embedded in acid‑resistant, vegetarian capsules, which improves stability in the stomach. Per daily serving (4 capsules) the product provides 1.44 g colostrum with a lactose content under 0.1 g and is therefore practically lactose‑free. Available are Miron‑Glas (30 daily servings), a home‑compostable refill pack as well as a Starter Pack for 60 daily servings. Raw material sourcing is carried out exclusively from surpluses of the first milkings – the calf has priority.

• Practically lactose‑free: <0.1 g lactose per daily serving (4 capsules).
• Swiss made: raw material and processing in Switzerland.
• Sourced only from surplus colostrum of the first milkings.
• Choice of packaging: Miron‑Glas or home‑compostable refill bags.
• Free from artificial additives and preservatives.

Technical Details and Functions

The colostrum is defatted and de‑caseinated, then cold‑sterilized and ultrafiltered to preserve bioactive components such as immunoglobulins as effectively as possible. The declaration lists per daily serving 1.44 g colostrum in 4 capsules; nutritional values: 17 kJ/4 kcal, 0.91 g protein, lactose <0.1 g, fat/carbohydrates/salt each 0 g. The capsule matrix is Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (Hydromellose) with Gellan as a thickening agent; the capsules are formulated to be acid‑resistant. Packaging options are 30 daily servings in light‑protective Miron‑Glas, a refill pack with a home‑compostable bag as well as a Starter Pack with 60 daily servings. Depending on the production batch, a best before date and a Swiss Pharmacode are indicated.

Applications and Benefits

Colostrum has traditionally been used to support the immune system and gut health; the high IgG density of this product is aimed at anyone who wants to specifically care for their gut microbiome, for example during intensive training phases, seasonal strains or in demanding everyday life. Scientific reviews describe bioactive components such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and enzymes that interact with the gut barrier and microbial balance, although the level of evidence varies depending on the target group. Clinical data on gastrointestinal complaints show partly positive, partly mixed results; colostrum can, for example, reduce stool frequency, but the overall picture requires further well‑designed studies. For healthy adults, colostrum is generally described as well tolerated, though individual effects can vary. People with milk protein allergy should avoid colostrum; if in doubt, consultation with medical professionals is advisable. The BE THE CHANGE product formula therefore offers a gently processed, practically lactose‑free option of Swiss origin.

Sustainable Sourcing and Processing

The raw material comes from Swiss pasture farms and is sourced responsibly: only surplus colostrum from the first and second milkings is used, after the calf has been provided for. The manufacturer forgoes heat pasteurization and instead relies on cold filtration to protect sensitive antibodies. This care continues in the packaging: light protection via Miron‑Glas and a home‑compostable refill solution reduce material input. In this way the product combines Swiss‑made quality with a deliberately chosen ecological footprint. The result is a colostrum preparation that sensibly brings together purity, efficacy and responsibility.

Usage and Tolerability

The recommended intake is 2 times daily 2 capsules, swallowed whole with liquid; hot drinks or alcohol should be avoided as sensitive proteins can otherwise denature. For a targeted gut regimen a daily use over two months is recommended; further intake depends on individual needs. Store the product out of reach of children, in a cool, dry and light‑protected place, and do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Colostrum is well tolerated by most people; in case of milk protein allergy or during pregnancy/breastfeeding, consultation with a professional is recommended. For the Swiss market, each batch is labeled with best before and a Pharmacode, which facilitates traceability.
