Core Colostrum (single-ingredient serving)

1 tbs Grass-fed bovine colostrum powder (pure, non-denatured)8 oz Filtered water (optional, for drinking)8 oz Unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk (optional, alternative to water)1 tsp Raw honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)1/2 tsp Freshly squeezed lemon (optional, for flavor)

Daily batch (makes ~1 week of single servings)

7 tbs Grass-fed bovine colostrum powder (pure, non-denatured)56 oz Filtered water (for mixing individual servings)1/2 tsp Optional flavoring: cinnamon (ground)

Method

Single serving (recommended)

Measure

Measure 1 tablespoon of pure grass-fed bovine colostrum powder using a level tablespoon.

Choose liquid

Decide whether to mix the colostrum with 8 oz (1 cup) of filtered water or 8 oz of milk/plant milk. Using milk gives a creamier texture and may aid absorption for some people.

Mix

Pour the liquid into a glass or shaker. Add the measured 1 tablespoon of colostrum powder. Stir briskly with a spoon for 20–30 seconds or shake vigorously in a protein shaker for 15–20 seconds until fully suspended and smooth. There should be no dry powder clumps.

Optional sweeten/brighten

If desired, add up to 1 teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup and/or 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon. Stir or shake again to combine. For a warm version, use warm (not boiling) milk or water — keep temperature below 120°F (49°C) to help preserve bioactive factors.

Consume

Drink immediately. For best tolerance and potential benefit, take on an empty stomach 15–30 minutes before breakfast or as directed by a health professional. If using with a meal, separate by at least 1 hour from high-dose vitamin C or digestive enzymes if advised by a practitioner.

Storage of open container

After scooping, reseal the colostrum container tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within the timeframe indicated by the manufacturer.

Prepare a week batch (optional)

Portion

Measure 7 tablespoons of colostrum powder into a clean, dry airtight jar or container (this equals seven single servings).

Daily mixing

Each day, remove one tablespoon and mix with 8 oz of your chosen liquid just before consuming, following the single-serving mixing instructions above. Do not pre-mix liquids for the week; prepare each serving fresh to preserve bioactives.

Flavoring option

If you like, add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the jar and mix well so each daily scoop has a hint of spice. Do not add honey or lemon to the stored powder.

Temperature caution

Avoid exposing the powder or prepared servings to high heat (>120°F / 49°C) or prolonged direct sunlight to help maintain the integrity of growth factors and antibodies.
