Surthrival: Colostrum Powder (6.5oz), Immune Optimization & Recovery, Powdered Dietary Supplement, Gut Health, Immune Support, Keto Friendly

I started taking this colostrum to heal my leaky gut per the recommendation of Alexandra (@highonfat on instagram//www.highonfat.com) who healed her leaky gut with colostrum. I have been taking it about 3 weeks and I love it!!! I started out taking 1/2 tsp twice a day then worked my way up to my current dosage of 2 TBSP twice a day. I started seeing noticeable gut-healing once I hit the 1 TBSP twice a day dosage. In just 3 weeks time my IBS-like symptoms have really calmed down. Before starting colostrum I got bloated after eating just about anything, had major indigestion. My gut felt inflamed and I was super fatigued all the time. Now I haven't had in IBS episode in over a week, my gut feels happy again, I don't bloat after meals, digest them pretty well and am having higher energy levels! I can't wait to see how I continue to improve while taking this. I didn't notice any major reactions or detox symptoms when I started taking this. I do have a dairy allergy but this colostrum doesn't bother me at all. Some people have to increase their dosages very slowly but I was able to reach a maximum dosage in just three weeks. I take my colostrum mixed with water in a plastic shaker bottle. I have tried just mixing it with a spoon in a regular glass of water but it won't mix at all. The shaker bottle works best! It tastes creamy and similar to cow's milk. So thankful for a great brand/company that makes colostrum available to those of us trying to heal leaky gut!! Thanks Surthrival and thanks Alex!

This is one of those whole food supplements that I can say actually works. There is a pretty extensive body of scientific evidence on the benefits of bovine colostrum and reading some of it made me convinced that it was worth trying and possibly making a regular part of my supplementation. The immune system benefits alone are pretty amazing. I did not experience a jolt upon using or any earth shattering, life changing immediate effect but after several weeks, I noticed an improvement in my overall health that I could feel. I felt stronger and more energized. Also, I normally suffer horribly at the beginning of allergy season. I have been taking Surthrival Colostrum for 5 weeks and my allergies hardly bother me at all this year. I do not see this as a coincidence. I have always suffered from an over-reactive immune system and this product has calmed it down. It is expensive but I have vetted other brands as well and strongly believe that this is the best on the market. I will buy again.Note: It does not dissolve well in liquid and I am not a smoothie person so I eat 2 tsp. a day mixed with coconut oil.

i have used Surthival Colostrum for many years. The packaging just changed to a packet hat does not close tightly. But more important, the taste is different. Thankfully my cats don't care.. But i'm no longer a fan. Too bad, i really liked this Colostrum.

Wish they didn't change the packaging and formula. Definitely does not seem to be the same as a year ago. They also stopped making the chocolate which is a shame.

Appreciate the quality of this product. Very fluffy, airy and light powder. Mix well if using warm water or generously add to smoothie. It should have included a small scoop in the 6oz version. Enjoy the unique taste as well. Gratitude to the Surthrival team and of course always a shout-out to the hard working AMAZON team for shipping on time :)

Product arrived looking half full with no seal. I took a look at other photos and it appears this product has seal residue in photos, so there should be one. Also, considering it looks half full, I saw another review reporting they also got a half container, I took it upon myself to measure the weight of the contents. My container was missing approximately 25% of product. No review on actual product as I did not use as it's been tampered with.

I really wanted to like this brand of Colostrum as I had read good reviews, it's from certified organic dairy farms and it's a certified true 6 hour colostrum. Upon opening my package, I could immediately tell there was a difference in the colour and texture compared to two other brands I have tried - the really popular Symbiotics brand and a Canadian brand Harmony. Unlike the other two brands, Suthrival Colostrum was a brighter creamy yellow and had a creamier texture (I'm guessing due the fat content) but there was an odd "cheesy" smell. The product still tasted good (it's somewhat like creamy milk), but I'm not sure if perhaps I received a bad batch. Oddly, I didn't experience any type of die-off with Surthrival Colostrum compared to when I took the other two cheaper brands. With the previous brands, I became unusually tired/sleepy (usually my energy will wax and wane, with moments of feeling awake and moments of feeling tired) that was unrelenting and my nose started to run and I developed a slight cough. All this lasted for 1.5 days. Well with Surthrival, I didn't feel any difference at first. But when I started to up my dose to 3 tsp a day, I started to develop an unusual pain dull-ache on my upper left quad abdominal area that continued until I quit taking Surthrival. After a week break, I decided to try again, and the pain returned.So unfortunately I didn't have a positive experience with Surthrival which sucks because it's really expensive and I was looking forward to being a huge fan, and buying more. I only finished half of the jar which costed $50. It is possible that I received a bad batch, unless it's suppose to smell cheesy? The other brands I had definitely did not have that smell. But it's too expensive to give this product another try. I actually found L-glutamine a lot more effective towards soothing my gut as the point of taking colostrum was due to research that indicated it helped with leaky gut (increased intestinal permeability) which athletes experience. Thankfully 300g of L-glutamine costs about $15, so much cheaper than colostrum! The good news in all this is that I don't have to buy an expensive product to aid in the healing process.
