SymbioticsColostrum 120ct Vegetable Capsules - Immunity Support - Lactoferrin Supplement & Colostrum Protein with Immunoglobulin - 25% lgG Antibodies - Gluten Free

Symbiotics Colostrum Plus - 240 Veg Capsules (new formula) I love this product. I have been using it for well over 20 years. This is a subtle but predictable diet supplement, not a panacea. I cannot make any claims as to its effect on any disease or medical condition for others. That would be a mistake. I will state that this is an ally in the Castaneda sense. This supplement is as a force which makes me feel better. Stronger. More Alert. More energized. When I feel like crap it gives me a boost. I will STILL feel like crap but less so. It may not act the same way for you. It states to take it with a full glass of water on an empty stomach. Absolutely. It states to triple the dose in times of stress. Absolutely. I can notice effects on my skin. It seems to help healing. Not all at once, but cumulatively. If you have autoimmune issues it will help, not cure, help. I said I have been taking this for 20 years before they started adding IgG and lactoferrin.The images listed here provide conflicting information as to the content of the Colostrum Plus. Previously, for the 480mg capsule, the amount of Colostrum was 960 mg; IgG was 192 mg. Proline rich peptides 38 mg, guaranteed 29mg. Lactoferrin 9 mg. I have emailed Symbiotics with this concern May 30th 2018. I will update this review when and if I receive their response.According to the Symbiotics website there are at least two conditions where you should refrain from using this supplement: (1) If you are pregnant or lactating; (2) If youIf you are taking any immune suppressing medication. I will add a third caveat: If you are sensitive to iron, as those with alopecia universalis, first check with your specialist if the lactoferrin could present any issues. This I recommend from personal experience with a friend who has that condition.Sincerely. If you have medical issues or any immune impairment you should talk to your doctor about supplement use. It seems most doctors don't recommend supplements. That makes sense since the reputable doctors do depend on the systematized randomized research results that drug companies can afford. The closer you are to your body, how it feels when you are feeling unwell - not sick - unwell. Those of you with autoimmune issues will know what I mean. I have never had any problem with this supplement, and will continue to use it.UPDATE: 5/31/18 I stated the information I provided above regarding the amounts of Colostrum, IgG, Proline rich peptides (PRP's)and Lactoferrin was based on an image. That image information was based on a previous formulation. I received an email response from Naturade, parent company of Symbiotics. According to that email, the amount of Colostrum is now 500mg per capsule, 1000 mg per serving size. This delivers 34% more IgG than previously, with total IgG 250mg per capsule. Due to FDA regulations, precise Proline rich peptide and lactoferrin amounts are no longer listed due to naturally occurring inconsistencies. This causes variations in each batch which can exceed a FDA labeling standard range of plus or minus five percent accuracy.That is for ALL colostrum manufacturers. I was provided with a general guideline that PRP's account for 5%, lactoferrin accounts for 1%, of total colostrum powder consumed. This information is accurate.Finally, I was informed that since the conversion to the 500mg capsule was a "flow through" basis with sellers, it is as the sellers restock that the new formula is obtained. This accounts for why some sellers provide older versions, and possibly why Amazon still had some older images which do not reflect the "new version." Today I also notified Amazon of all this information.I hope this helps.

Excellent

Very useful and helpful

Ok

I love colostrum. Maybe too much. I began taking this on the recommendation of a holistic practitioner and it works as advertised. I have had great success using colostrum for digestive issues I've experienced. However, I bought the powdered kind one time and fell in love with it at first taste to the point that I would just eat massive amounts of it b/c all the literature that I found on it said that it is a food and that you cannot take too much colostrum or overdose on it and that it doesn't have any adverse effects -that your body would get rid of what it doesn't need. This is wrong. As we know too much of anything is not good. I also ordered this is pill form and I just started chewing the capsules with the powdery goodness in them or opening up the capsules and just popping the powder in my mouth. I think it's yummy, but it'll mess you up if you take too much of it in one sitting as I did. The adverse effects I experienced are totally my fault and I take 100% for my lapse in judgement. Because colostrum has antibiotic like effects, it can behave just like a broad spectrum antibiotic and wipe out all of your good flora and set you up for issues - IF you take too much of it. This is totally my fault as I completely went overboard on this stuff. I just love it, but I learned the hard way not to abuse it. I still take it but only as directed. Not everyone likes it but I think it's yummy. I say buy it but don't be a fool like me and take too much.The symbiotics brand is economical. The surthrival brand is good too and extremely yummy but it is very expensive so I stick with the symbiotics brand. Except this time I take no more than what is prescribed by my holistic practitioner or only as directed. I was seriously addicted to this stuff. My flora is now finally getting back to normal. I learned a hard lesson and I never want to use it in the manner that I was again. Regardless of how the internet claims there are no adverse effects and that you can take it in massive amounts and that your body will get rid of what it doesn't need.

excellent product
