It is the nutrient‑rich first milk produced by cows after birthing calves. It naturally contains immunoglobulins, proteins, and growth factors that support overall wellness. Immunoglobulins are a specific type of protein that boost the body’s natural immune defenses. They work by identifying foreign substances that the body then knows to eliminate.
