Colostrum is the first milk a mammal makes after giving birth. Bovine colostrum, from cows, has gone from a niche product to a morning-routine staple almost overnight.

That popularity brought a flood of jars, flavors and price tags. Some list exactly what's inside. Some make it surprisingly hard to tell.

Before you buy, check these five things.

Editor's note: This article is an advertisement from Earth Energy, the maker of 100% Pure Bovine Colostrum. It's general education, not medical advice. Contains milk. Talk to your doctor before starting any supplement.

Number 5 is where the biggest differences hide, and it's the one most people never calculate.

1.How Much Colostrum Is in Each Scoop?

Start with the most basic question. Look for a clear milligram amount of colostrum per serving, not a total for a "blend" or "complex".

Earth Energy Colostrum lists 2,000 mg of TruColostrum® bovine colostrum in every scoop.

The takeawayIf you can't find the amount, keep looking.

2.Where Does It Come From?

Bovine colostrum comes from cows. A named source tells you more than a generic description.

Ours is TruColostrum® bovine whole colostrum. Because it comes from cows, it contains milk.

The takeawayA named source is a good sign.

3.What Else Is in the Jar?

Flavors, sweeteners and fillers all have to be listed. Read the whole ingredient list, not just the front of the jar.

Unflavored: colostrum, and nothing else. Chocolate: the same 2,000 mg of colostrum plus organic cocoa powder, organic natural flavor and monk fruit extract.

The takeawayFewer ingredients means fewer surprises.

4.Will You Actually Drink It?

The best jar is the one you'll use. Unflavored mixes into 6–8 oz of cold water; Chocolate is made to drink on its own in 4–6 oz. Either way, keep it cold: the label says not to mix it with hot liquids.

The takeawayPick the format and flavor you'll stick with.

5.What Does It Cost Per Serving?

The price on the jar doesn't tell you much. Divide it by the number of servings.

Every Earth Energy jar holds 60 servings, so even one jar works out to about a dollar a serving, and the bundles bring it lower.

The takeawayAlways compare price per serving, not price per jar.

Questions readers ask

Is it dairy?

Yes. Colostrum comes from cows, so both flavors contain milk.

Which flavor should I get?

Unflavored if you want the one-ingredient jar. Chocolate if you'd rather drink it on its own. Both have 2,000 mg of colostrum per scoop.

How do I take it?

Mix one scoop with cold water: 6–8 oz for Unflavored, 4–6 oz for Chocolate. Don't mix with hot liquids.

Is this a subscription?

No. Everything in this offer is a one-time purchase. You're only charged again if you place another order.

What if it's not for me?

Can I take it with medications?

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have a medical condition.
